Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth.
And a certain man being lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those that entered into the temple;
who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.
And Peter gazing on him with John said, Look on us.
And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, this I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth walk.
And grasping him by the right hand he raised [him] up; and immediately his feet and ankle-bones were made strong.
And leaping up he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping, and praising God.
And all the people saw him walking and praising God;
and they recognized him that he it was that sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.
And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the portico that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
And Peter seeing [it] answered unto the people, Men of Israel, why marvel ye at this [man]? or why gaze ye at us as though by [our] own power and piety we had made him to walk?
The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied before Pilate’s face, when he decided to release [him].
But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you;
but the Author of life ye killed, whom God raised from [the] dead of which we are witnesses;
and on the faith of his name did his name make this man strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith that is by him gave him this entireness before you all.
And now, brethren, I know that ye acted in ignorance, as also your rulers;
but God thus fulfilled what he announced by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
Repent therefore, and be converted for the blotting out of your sins, so that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
and he may send forth him that hath been fore-appointed for you, Jesus Christ,
whom heaven indeed must receive till times of restoring all things whereof God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began.
Moses indeed said, A prophet shall [the] Lord our God raise up from among your brethren as [he did] me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you.
And it shall be that every soul which shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel, and those in succession, as many as spoke, did also announce these days.
Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God covenanted with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
To you first, God, having raised up his servant, sent him to bless you in turning away each from your iniquities.
