Acts 3
1 And Peter and John were going up at the same time into the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour],
One day Peter and John were going up together for the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon,
2 and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,
when a man lame from his birth was carried along, who was wont to be laid each day near the gate of the Temple called the Beautiful Gate, to ask alms of those who were going into the Temple.
3 who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.
When he saw Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he kept asking them for alms;
4 And Peter, having looked steadfastly toward him with John, said, “Look toward us”;
Peter fixed his eyes upon him, as did John, and said, "Look at us."
5 and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;
So he waited, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said.
6 and Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I have, that I give to you; in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.”
"I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have, this I am going to give to you; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!"
7 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and instantly his feet and ankles were strengthened,
Then taking his right hand he lifted him up. Instantly his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened;
8 and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and entered with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;
and leaping forth he stood on his feet, and began to walk, and went with them into the Temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 and all the people saw him walking and praising God,
When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 and they knew him, that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what has happened to him.
and recognized that this was the man who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon’s—greatly amazed,
While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people crowded awe- struck around them, in what was known as Solomon’s Portico.
12 and Peter having seen, answered to the people, “Men, Israelites! Why do you wonder at this? Or why do you look on us so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?
When he saw this, Peter said to the people. "Men of Israel, why are you wondering at this? Why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His child Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release [Him],
"The God of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you betrayed and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to let him go;
14 and you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,
"but you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favor the release of a murderer.
15 and the Prince of life you killed, whom God raised out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;
"The Pioneer of Life you put to death. But God has raised him from the dead, and we are witnesses of that fact.
16 and on the faith of His Name, this one whom you see and have known, His Name made strong, even the faith that [is] through Him gave to him this perfect soundness before you all.
"And his name, on the ground of faith in his name, has made strong this man, whom you now see and know; yes, the faith that is through him has made this man sound and strong again, in the presence of you all.
17 And now, brothers, I have known that through ignorance you did [it], as also your rulers;
"And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18 and God, what things He had declared before through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He thus fulfilled;
"But God has thus fulfilled what he foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
19 convert, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the LORD,
"Repent then! and reform, from the blotting out of your sins, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;
20 and He may send Jesus Christ who before has been preached to you,
"and that he may send Jesus, your appointed Messiah,
21 whom Heaven required, indeed, to receive until times of a restitution of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age. (aiōn g165)
"whom the heavens must receive until the time of restoration of all things. "God spoke of this ages ago, through the mouth of his holy prophets. (aiōn g165)
22 For Moses, indeed, said to the fathers—The LORD your God will raise up a Prophet to you out of your brothers, like to me; you will hear Him in all things, as many as He may speak to you;
"Moses, for example, said. "The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brothers, as he raised up me; you must listen to whatever he may tell you;
23 and it will be, every soul that may not hear that Prophet will be utterly destroyed out of the people;
"and it shall be that every soul who will not listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
24 and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spoke, also foretold of these days.
"Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and his successors, all that have spoken, have also told of those days.
25 You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in your Seed will all the families of the earth be blessed;
"You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
26 to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, sent Him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.”
"It was for you first that God raised up his Servant, and sent him to bless you in turning every one of you away from your wicked ways."
