And Peter and John went up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth.
2 And, a certain man, who had been, lame from his mother’s womb, was being carried, —whom they used to lay daily at the door of the temple—the [door] called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them who were entering into the temple:
And a certain man, being lame from his mother's womb was habitually carried, whom they placed daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those entering into the temple;
3 Who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, was requesting to receive, an alms.
who seeing Peter and John about to come into the temple, asked to receive alms.
4 But Peter looking steadfastly at him—with John—said: Look on us!
And Peter along with John, fixing his attention on him, said, Look unto us.
5 And, he, gave heed unto them, expecting to receive, something from them.
And he gave attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said—Silver and gold, have none, but, what I have, the same, unto thee do I give: —In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, Walk!
Peter said, Silver and gold do not belong to me; but I give thee that which I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk about.
7 And, laying hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up; and, instantly, were his feet and ankles strengthened; —
And taking him by the right hand he raised him up; and immediately the bottoms of his feet and his ankle-bones were strengthened.
8 And, leaping forward, he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.
And leaping out, he stood, and continued to walk around, and came into the temple with them, walking around and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him, walking and praising God;
And all the people saw him walking round and praising God.
10 And they began to recognise him, that, the same, was he who, for the alms, used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; —and they were filled with amazement and transport at what had happened unto him.
And they recognized him, that he was the one sitting for alms at Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with astonishment and delight at that which had happened to him.
11 And, as he held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them, in the portico which is called Solomon’s, —greatly amazed.
And he holding on to Peter and John; all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon's, exceedingly astonished.
12 And Peter, seeing it, made answer unto the people: —Ye men of Israel! Why marvel ye at this man? Or, upon us, why are ye intently looking, as though, by our own power or godliness, we had made him walk?
And Peter seeing them, responded to the people; Israelitish men, why are you astonished at this, or why do you look upon us as having by our own power or holiness, made this man to walk about?
13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, —the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus: —whom, ye, indeed, delivered up and denied to Pilate’s, face when he had adjudged to release him;
The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Child, Jesus, who you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate having decided to release Him.
14 But, ye, denied, the Holy and Righteous One, and claimed a man that was a murderer to be granted you;
And you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and ask that a man who was a murderer should be delivered unto you,
15 But, the Princely Leader of Life, ye slew: —whom, God, raised from among the dead, whereof, we, are witnesses.
and you slew the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, whose witnesses we are.
16 And, by the faith of his name, unto this man whom ye see and know, hath his name given strength, —yea, the faith which is through him, hath given unto him this perfect soundness, over against you all!
And through the faith of his name, his name hath made sound this one who you see and know, and through him faith has given unto him this soundness, in the presence of you all.
17 And now brethren, I know that by way of ignorance ye acted, —just as even your rulers.
And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did your rulers also;
18 Howbeit, God—what things he had before declared, through the mouth of all the prophets, for his Christ to suffer, —did thus fulfill!
and those things which God proclaimed through the mouth of all the prophets that his Christ should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.
19 Repent ye, therefore, and turn, —unto the blotting out of your sins; to the end that in that case, there may come seasons of refreshing from the face of the Lord,
Repent, therefore, and turn, that your sins may be blotted out, in order that seasons of soul-renewing may come from the presence of the Lord,
20 And he may send forth him who had been fore-appointed for you—Christ Jesus:
and he may send forth Jesus, who has been preached unto you as the Christ,
21 Unto whom, indeed, heaven must needs give welcome, until the times of the due establishment of all things, of which God hath spoken through the mouth of his holy age-past prophets. (aiōn g165)
whom it behooves heaven indeed to receive until the times of the restitution of all things which God spoke through the mouth of all his prophets from the beginning. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses, indeed, said—A prophet, unto you, shall the Lord God raise up among your brethren, like unto me: unto him, shall ye hearken respecting all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you.
Moses indeed said; The Lord our God will raise up to you from your brethren a prophet like unto me; Him you will hear concerning all things so many as he may speak to you.
23 And it shall be—every soul, whatsoever, which shall not hearken unto that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
And it shall come to pass, that every soul whosoever will not hear that prophet, shall be cut off from the people.
24 But, indeed, all the prophets, —from Samuel and those following after, as many as have spoken, have even announced these days.
And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and consecutively, so many as spoke, also proclaimed these days.
25 Ye, are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God covenanted unto your fathers, saying unto Abraham—And, in thy seed, shall be blessed, all the families of the ground.
Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, In thy seed shall the families of the earth be truly blessed.
26 Unto you first, God—having raised up his Servant—hath sent him forth, ready to bless you, when ye are turning away, each one, from your wickednesses.
To you God, having first raised up his Son, sent him blessing you, in turning each one from your sins.
