Acts 3

CLV(i) 1 Now Peter and John went up into the sanctuary at the hour of prayer, the ninth." 2 And a certain man, being inherently lame from his mother's womb, was borne, whom they placed day by day at the door of the sanctuary which is termed "Beautiful,to request alms from those going into the sanctuary, 3 who, perceiving Peter and John being about to be passing in into the sanctuary, asked to obtain alms." 4 Now Peter, looking at him intently together with John, said, "Look at us!" 5 Now he attended to them, hoping to get something from them." 6 Yet Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not possess; yet what I have, this I am giving to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!" 7 And seizing his right hand, he raises him up. Now instantly his insteps and ankles were given stability, 8 and, leaping up, he stood and walked and entered with them into the sanctuary, walking and leaping and praising God." 9 And the entire people perceived him walking and praising God. 10 Now they recognized him, that this was the one sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the sanctuary. And they are filled with awe and amazement at that which has befallen him." 11 Now at his holding himself to Peter and John, the entire people ran together to them at the portico called Solomon's, overawed." 12 Now, perceiving it, Peter answers the people: "Men! Israelites! Why are you marveling at this? Or why at us are you looking so intently, as if by our own power or devoutness we had made him walk? 13 The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorifies His Boy Jesus, Whom you, indeed, give up and disown before the face of Pilate, when he decides to release Him." 14 Now you disown the holy and just One, and request a man, a murderer, to be surrendered to you as a favor." 15 Yet the Inaugurator of Life you kill, Whom God rouses from among the dead, of which we are witnesses." 16 And in the faith of His name, His name gives stability to this man whom you are beholding, with whom, also, you are acquainted, and the faith which is through Him, gives him this unimpaired soundness in front of you all." 17 And now, brethren, I am aware that in ignorance you commit it, even as your chiefs also." 18 Yet what God announces before through the mouth of all the prophets - the suffering of His Christ - He thus fulfills. 19 Repent, then, and turn about for the erasure of your sins, so that seasons of refreshing should be coming from the face of the Lord, 20 and He should dispatch the One fixed upon before for you, Christ Jesus, 21 Whom heaven must indeed receive until the times of restoration of all which God speaks through the mouth of His holy prophets who are from the eon. 22 Moses, indeed, said that: A Prophet will the Lord your God, be raising up to you from among your brethren, as me. Him you shall hear, according to all, whatsoever He should be speaking to you." 23 Yet it shall be that every soul whatsoever which should not hear that Prophet shall be utterly exterminated from among the people. 24 Now all the prophets also, from Samuel, and consecutively, whoever speak, also announce these days." 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God covenanted with your fathers, saying to Abraham: And in your seed all the kindreds of the earth shall be blessed." 26 To you first, God, raising His Boy, commissions Him to bless you by turning away each of you from your wickedness."
