1 Now at the same time that Peter and John were going up2 to the temple at the hour of prayer, namely, at the ninth hour,
2 there was a certain man carried up who had been lame from his birth, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, called Beauty-Gate, to ask alms of them who were going into the temple;
3 who seeing Peter and John just about to enter the temple, begged to receive an alms.
4 Whereupon Peter and John having fixed their eyes on him, Peter said, Look on us.
5 Upon which he looked earnestly at them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold I have none. But what I have, that I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.
7 Then having taken him by the right hand he raised him up. And instantly his feet and ankle bones were strengthened;
8 and leaping up, he stood; then walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 and recollected that he was the man who used to sit begging at the Beauty-gate of the temple, they were filled with wonder and astonishment at what had happened to him.
11 And while the lame man who was cured, kept hold of Peter and John, all the people in amaze crowded to them in the portico called Solomon's.
12 Now when Peter saw this he thus addressed the people. "Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why do ye fix your eyes on us, as if we by our own power or piety had made this man walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and Isaak, and Jacob; the God of our fathers hath glorified his servant Jesus whom ye delivered up. Yes, you renounced him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him:
14 you indeed renounced the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you.
15 You indeed killed him who is the conductor to life, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
16 Now for the belief in his name, his name hath strengthened this man whom you see and know. Yes, the belief which is by him hath given this man this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 And now brethren, I know that it was through ignorance that both' you and your rulers acted thus;
18 and that what God foretold by the mouth of all his prophets; That The Christ Should Suffer, he hath thus accomplished.
19 Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be blotted out, that seasons of refreshment may come from the presence of the Lord;
20 and that he may send him who hath been before hand proclaimed to you; namely, Jesus Christ,
21 whom the heaven must receive till the time of the consummation of all which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets of old:
22 for Moses indeed said to the fathers, "The Lord your God will raise up for you from among your brethren a prophet like me. To him you must hearken according to all that he shall speak to you;
23 and whoever the person be who will not hearken to that prophet, he shall be cut off front among the people.
24 All the prophets also from Samuel, even as many of the following ones as have spoken, have likewise foretold these days.
25 You are the children of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham "And by thy seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
26 It is to you first that God, having raised up his son Jesus, hath sent him, blessing you, when you turn every one from his iniquities.
