Actuum Apostolorum 3
1 Petrus autem et Joannes ascendebant in templum ad horam orationis nonam.
Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
2 Et quidam vir, qui erat claudus ex utero matris suæ, bajulabatur: quem ponebant quotidie ad portam templi, quæ dicitur Speciosa, ut peteret eleemosynam ab introëuntibus in templum.
A certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.
3 Is cum vidisset Petrum et Joannem incipientes introire in templum, rogabat ut eleemosynam acciperet.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
4 Intuens autem in eum Petrus cum Joanne, dixit: Respice in nos.
Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, “Look at us.”
5 At ille intendebat in eos, sperans se aliquid accepturum ab eis.
He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Petrus autem dixit: Argentum et aurum non est mihi: quod autem habeo, hoc tibi do: in nomine Jesu Christi Nazareni surge, et ambula.
But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”
7 Et apprehensa manu ejus dextera, allevavit eum, et protinus consolidatæ sunt bases ejus et plantæ.
He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
8 Et exiliens stetit, et ambulabat: et intravit cum illis in templum ambulans, et exiliens, et laudans Deum.
Leaping up, he stood and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Et vidit omnis populus eum ambulantem et laudantem Deum.
All the people saw him walking and praising God.
10 Cognoscebant autem illum, quod ipse erat qui ad eleemosynam sedebat ad Speciosam portam templi: et impleti sunt stupore et extasi in eo quod contigerat illi.
They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Cum teneret autem Petrum et Joannem, cucurrit omnis populus ad eos ad porticum quæ appellatur Salomonis, stupentes.
As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
12 Videns autem Petrus, respondit ad populum: Viri Israëlitæ, quid miramini in hoc, aut nos quid intuemini, quasi nostra virtute aut potestate fecerimus hunc ambulare?
When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?
13 Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrorum glorificavit filium suum Jesum, quem vos quidem tradidistis, et negastis ante faciem Pilati, judicante illo dimitti.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 Vos autem sanctum et justum negastis, et petistis virum homicidam donari vobis:
But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
15 auctorem vero vitæ interfecistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, cujus nos testes sumus.
and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.
16 Et in fide nominis ejus, hunc quem vos vidistis et nostis, confirmavit nomen ejus: et fides, quæ per eum est, dedit integram sanitatem istam in conspectu omnium vestrum.
By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 Et nunc, fratres, scio quia per ignorantiam fecistis, sicut et principes vestri.
“Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18 Deus autem, quæ prænuntiavit per os omnium prophetarum, pati Christum suum, sic implevit.
But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
19 Pœnitemini igitur et convertimini, ut deleantur peccata vestra:
“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,
20 ut cum venerint tempora refrigerii a conspectu Domini, et miserit eum qui prædicatus est vobis, Jesum Christum,
and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,
21 quem oportet quidem cælum suscipere usque in tempora restitutionis omnium quæ locutus est Deus per os sanctorum suorum a sæculo prophetarum. (aiōn g165)
whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke from the age (aiōn g165) by the mouth of his holy prophets.
22 Moyses quidem dixit: Quoniam prophetam suscitabit vobis Dominus Deus vester de fratribus vestris, tamquam me: ipsum audietis juxta omnia quæcumque locutus fuerit vobis.
For Moses indeed said to the fathers, ‘The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.
23 Erit autem: omnis anima quæ non audierit prophetam illum, exterminabitur de plebe.
It will be that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.’
24 Et omnes prophetæ, a Samuel et deinceps, qui locuti sunt, annuntiaverunt dies istos.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, also told of these days.
25 Vos estis filii prophetarum, et testamenti quod disposuit Deus ad patres nostros, dicens ad Abraham: Et in semine tuo benedicentur omnes familiæ terræ.
You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘All the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring.’
26 Vobis primum Deus suscitans filium suum, misit eum benedicentem vobis: ut convertat se unusquisque a nequitia sua.
God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness.”
