Acts 3
1 Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
And it occurred, as Simon Cephas and John went together up to the temple, at the time of prayer, being the ninth hour,
2 Now a man lame from birth was being carried every day to the Beautiful gate of temple, so he could ask people who were going into the temple for a gift of money.
that, lo, those accustomed to bring a man lame from his mother's womb, brought him and laid him at the gate of the temple called Beautiful; that he might ask alms of those going into the temple.
3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked them for a gift of money.
This man, when he saw Simon and John going into the temple, asked them to give him alms.
4 Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, “Look at us.”
And Simon and John looked on him, and said to him: Look on us.
5 The lame man looked at them, expecting to receive something from them.
And he looked on them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have, I will give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”
Simon said to him: Gold and silver, I have not; but what I have, I give to thee; in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, the Nazarean, rise up and walk.
7 Taking him by the right hand, Peter raised him up, and immediately the man's feet and ankle were made strong.
And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and forthwith, his feet and his heels recovered strength.
8 Leaping up, the lame man stood and began to walk; and he entered with Peter and John into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
And he sprang, stood up, and walked: and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 All the people saw him walking and praising God.
And all the people saw him, as he walked and praised God.
10 They noticed that it was the man who had been asking people for a gift of money at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement because of what had happened to him.
And they knew that he was the beggar, who sat daily and asked alms, at the gate called Beautiful: and they were filled with wonder and admiration at what had occurred.
11 As he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly marveling.
And as he held fast to Simon and John, all the people admiring ran to them at the portico called Solomon's.
12 When Peter saw this, he answered the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel? Why do you fix your eyes on us, as if we had made him to walk by our own power or godliness?
And when Simon saw it, he answered and said to them: Men, sons of Israel, why do ye wonder at this? or why do ye gaze on us, as if by our own power or authority we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. He is the one whom you delivered up and rejected before the face of Pilate, when he had decided 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 in the presence of Pilate, when he would have justified him and set him free.
14 You rejected the Holy and Righteous One, and you asked instead for a murderer to be released to you.
But ye denied the holy and just One, and demanded that a murderer should be released to you.
15 You killed the Founder of life, whom God raised from the dead—and we are witnesses of this.
And that Prince of life ye slew; and him, hath God raised from the dead, and all of us are witnesses of it.
16 Now, by faith in his name—this man whom you see and know—this same name made him strong. The faith that is through Jesus gave to him this complete health in the presence of all of you.
And, by the faith in his name, he hath strengthened and cured this man, whom ye see and know; and faith in him hath given the man this soundness before you all.
17 Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
And now, my brethren, I know that through misapprehensions ye did this, as did also your chiefs:
18 But the things which God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he has now fulfilled.
and God, according as he had previously announced by the mouth of all the prophets that the Messiah would suffer, hath in this manner fulfilled it.
19 Repent, therefore, and turn, so that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come periods of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;
Repent, therefore, and be converted; that so your sins may be blotted out,
20 and that he may send the Christ who has been appointed for you, Jesus.
and times of rest may come to you from before the face of the Lord; and he may send to you him, who was made ready for you, Jesus the Messiah:
21 He is the One heaven must receive until the time of the restoration of all things, about which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets. (aiōn g165)
whom the heavens must retain, until the completion of the times of those things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets of old. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses indeed said, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet like me from among your brothers. You shall listen to everything that he will speak to you.
For Moses said: A prophet, like me, will the Lord raise up to you, from among your brethren; to him hearken ye, in all that he shall say to you.
23 It will happen that every person who does not listen to that prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.'
And it will be, that every soul who will not hearken to that prophet, that soul shall perish from his people.
24 Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after him, they spoke out and announced these days.
And all the prophets that have been, from Samuel and those after him, have spoken and proclaimed of these days.
25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, as he said to Abraham, 'In your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'
Ye are the children of the prophets: and that covenant which God made with our fathers, when he said to Abraham, that in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed,
26 After God raised up his servant, he sent him to you first, in order to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”
he hath first established to you: and God hath sent his Son to bless you, if ye will be converted, and repent of your wickedness.
