< 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],
Now Peter and John were going up to the temple together at the hour of prayer, which is the ninth hour.
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,
And a certain man who had been lame from his birth was carried along; whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those that were going into the temple:
3 who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.
who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked alms of them.
4 And Peter, having looked steadfastly toward him with John, said, “Look toward us”;
But Peter, and John, looking earnestly at him said, Look on us.
5 and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;
And he fixed his eyes upon them, expecting to receive something from them.
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.”
But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
7 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and instantly his feet and ankles were strengthened,
And taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ancles 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 up he stood firm, and walked; and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 and all the people saw him walking and praising God,
And 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 knew that it was he who sat to ask for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and extasy at what had befallen 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,
And as the lame man that was healed had hold of Peter and John, all the people being astonished ran together to them to the porch called Solomon's porch.
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?
And Peter seeing this said to the people, Men of Israel, why marvel ye at this, or why look ye so earnestly on us, as if by our own power or piety we had made this man able 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 Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his son Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied before Pilate, when he determined to release Him.
14 and you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,
But ye refused the holy and righteous One, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you:
15 and the Prince of life you killed, whom God raised out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;
and put to death the prince of life; whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
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 through faith in his name, hath strengthened this man, whom ye see and know: his name, I say, and saith in Him, hath wrought this perfect cure before you all.
17 And now, brothers, I have known that through ignorance you did [it], as also your rulers;
And now, brethren, I know that ye did it through 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 thus hath God accomplished those things which He had foretold by the mouth of all his prophets, that 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 therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out: that seasons of refreshing may come upon you from the presence of the Lord;
20 and He may send Jesus Christ who before has been preached to you,
and He may send Jesus Christ, who was before preached unto you:
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 heaven must indeed receive till the times of settling all things, of which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets from the beginning. (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;
For Moses said unto the fathers, the Lord your God will raise up a prophet unto you, of your brethren, like me, Him shall ye hear in all things whatever He shall say unto you;
23 and it will be, every soul that may not hear that Prophet will be utterly destroyed out of the people;
and every soul, who will not hearken to that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people: yea and all the prophets from Samuel,
24 and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spoke, also foretold of these days.
and those that followed, as many as have prophesied, have also foretold these 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;
Now ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant, which God made with our 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.”
and to you first God having raised up his son Jesus, sent Him to bless you; in your turning away every one of you from your iniquities.
