1 Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth. VP
2 And a certain man, being lame from his mother’s womb, was being carried, whom they were placing every day at the temple gate called Beautiful to ask for alms from those going into the temple, VP
3 who, having seen Peter and John being about to enter into the temple, was asking to receive alms. VP
4 And Peter, having looked intently toward him, with John, said, “Look toward us!” VP
5 And he was giving heed to them, expecting to receive something from them. VP
6 But Peter said, “Silver and gold, unto me there is none; but what I have, this I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk!” VP
7 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened. VP
8 And leaping up, he stood and was walking, and he entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. VP
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God, VP
10 and they were recognizing him, that he was the [one] sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at that having happened to him. VP
11 Now of his clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the colonnade called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. VP
12 But having seen, Peter answered to the people: “Men, Israelites, why do you⁺ marvel at this? Or why do you⁺ look intently on us as if by [our] own power or godliness [we] have made him to walk? VP
13 The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His servant Jesus, whom indeed you⁺ delivered up and denied in [the] presence of Pilate, that one having judged to release [Him]. VP
14 But you⁺ denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a man, a murderer, to be granted to you⁺. VP
15 And you⁺ killed the Author of life, whom God raised out from [the] dead, of which we are witnesses. VP
16 And on the faith in His name, this [man] whom you⁺ see and know, His name strengthened; and the faith that [is] through Him gave him this complete soundness before all of you⁺. VP
17 And now, brothers, I know that you⁺ acted in ignorance, as also your⁺ rulers. VP
18 But what God foretold through [the] mouth of all the prophets, [that] His Christ should suffer, He thus fulfilled. VP
19 Repent, therefore, and turn back, for the blotting out of your⁺ sins, VP
20 so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord, and [that] He may send the [One] having been appointed to you⁺, Christ Jesus, VP
21 whom indeed it is necessary for heaven to receive until [the] times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke by [the] mouth of His holy prophets from [the] age. VP
22 Indeed Moses said, ‘A prophet to you⁺ the Lord your⁺ God will raise up out of your⁺ brothers, like me. You⁺ will listen to Him in all things, as many as He might speak to you⁺. VP
23 And it will come to pass [that] every soul who might not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed out of the people.’ VP
24 And also all the prophets from Samuel, and those subsequently, as many as have spoken—they also proclaimed these days. VP
25 You⁺ are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your⁺ fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.’ VP
26 To you⁺ first, God, having raised up His servant, sent Him, blessing you⁺ in turning away each one from your⁺ wickednesses.” VP
