Acts 3
1 Now, Peter and John, were going up into the temple, for the hour of prayer—the ninth;
And Peter and John were going up at the same time into the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour],
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 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,
3 Who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, was requesting to receive, an alms.
who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.
4 But Peter looking steadfastly at him—with John—said: Look on us!
And Peter, having looked steadfastly toward him with John, said, “Look toward us”;
5 And, he, gave heed unto them, expecting to receive, something from them.
and he was giving heed to them, looking 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!
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.”
7 And, laying hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up; and, instantly, were his feet and ankles strengthened; —
And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and instantly his feet and ankles were strengthened,
8 And, leaping forward, he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.
and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and entered with them into the temple, walking and springing, 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 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 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.
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 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,
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 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?
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 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],
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 desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,
15 But, the Princely Leader of Life, ye slew: —whom, God, raised from among the dead, whereof, we, are witnesses.
and the Prince of life you killed, whom God raised out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;
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 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.
17 And now brethren, I know that by way of ignorance ye acted, —just as even your rulers.
And now, brothers, I have known that through ignorance you did [it], as also your rulers;
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 God, what things He had declared before through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He 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,
convert, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing 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 Jesus Christ who before has been preached to you,
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 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)
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.
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;
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 will be, every soul that may not hear that Prophet will be utterly destroyed out of 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 also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spoke, also foretold of 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.
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;
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 first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, sent Him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.”
