2 And a man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried in. Every day people would lay him at the gate of the temple called the Beautiful Gate so that he could ask for alms from those who were entering the temple courts.
And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give to yoʋ. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 Then Peter took hold of him by the right hand and raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles were made strong.
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 Leaping up, he stood and began walking. Then he entered the temple courts with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
12 When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why are you staring at us as though by our own power or godliness we have made this man walk?
And when Peter saw it, he answered to the people, You men of Israel, why marvel you at this? or why look you so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

14 Yes, you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you.

18 But in this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through the mouths of all his prophets, that the Christ would suffer.

19 Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped away, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. (aiōn g165)
22 For Moses said to our fathers, ‘The Lord our God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you.
For Moses truly said to the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brothers, like to me; him shall you hear in all things whatever he shall say to you.
23 Every soul who does not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.’
And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
