The Lame Man Healed at the Temple Gate
1#Ps 55:17; Ac 10:30Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer. 2#Lk 16:20; Jn 9:8A man lame from birth was being carried, whom people placed daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful to ask alms from those who entered the temple. 3Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms. 4Peter, gazing at him with John, said, “Look at us.” 5So he paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6#Ac 3:16; 4:10Then Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened. 8#Ac 14:10; Isa 35:6Jumping up, he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God. 9#Ac 4:16; 4:21All the people saw him walking and praising God. 10#Ac 3:2They knew that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what happened to him.
Peter’s Speech at Solomon’s Porch
11#Jn 10:23; Ac 5:12As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the entrance that is called Solomon’s Porch, greatly amazed. 12When Peter saw it, he answered the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Or why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk? 13#Mt 22:32; 27:2The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His Son Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him. 14#Mk 1:24; Ac 4:27; 7:52You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15#Ac 2:24; 2:32and you killed the Creator of Life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16#Ac 3:6; Dt 32:4And His name, by faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. And faith which comes through Him has given him perfect health in your presence.
17#Lk 23:34; Ac 13:27“Now brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18#Ac 26:22–23; Lk 24:26–27But what God foretold through all the prophets, that His Christ should suffer, He thus fulfilled. 19#Ac 2:38; Ps 51:9Therefore repent and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20and that He may send the One who previously was preached to you, Jesus Christ, 21#Lk 1:70; Ac 1:11whom the heavens must receive until the time of restoring what God spoke through all His holy prophets since the world began. 22#Ac 7:37; Isa 55:3–4For Moses indeed said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall hear whatever He may say to you. 23#Dt 18:19And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be utterly eliminated from the people.’#Dt 18:15, 18–19.
24#1Sa 3:20; Ac 13:20“Indeed, all the prophets since Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold these days. 25#Ge 22:18; 12:3; Ac 2:39You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’#–26 Ps 2:1–2. 26#Ac 3:22; Mt 1:21God, having raised up His Son Jesus, sent Him to you first, to bless you in turning every one of you from your iniquities.”

A Lame Beggar Walks
1Now Peter and John were going up to the Temple at the ninth hour, the time of prayer.
2A man lame from birth was being carried—every day they used to put him at the Temple gate called Beautiful, so he could beg for tzadakah from those entering the Temple.
3When he saw Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he began asking to receive tzadakah.
4But Peter, along with John, looked straight at him and said, “Look at us!”
5So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you—in the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach ha-Natzrati, get up and walk!”
7Then grabbing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.
8Jumping up, he stood and began walking; and he went with them into the Temple, walking and leaping and praising God!
9Now all the people saw him walking and praising God.
10They began to realize he was the one who used to sit begging for tzadakah at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, and they were filled with wonder and astonishment over what had happened to him.
Peter Speaks at the Temple
11While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people together came running toward them in the place called Solomon’s Portico.
12But when Peter saw, he responded to the people, “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us—as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
13The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His Servant Yeshua—the One you handed over and disowned before Pilate, though he had decided to release Him.
14But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you.
15You killed the Author of life—the One God raised from the dead! We are witnesses of it.
16Now through faith in the name of Yeshua, His name has strengthened this man whom you see and know. Indeed, the faith through Yeshua has given this man perfect health in front of you all.
17“Now brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders did.
18But what God foretold through the mouth of all His prophets—that His Messiah was to suffer—so He has fulfilled.
19Repent, therefore, and return—so your sins might be blotted out,
20so times of relief might come from the presence of Adonai and He might send Yeshua, the Messiah appointed for you.
21Heaven must receive Him, until the time of the restoration of all the things that God spoke about long ago through the mouth of His holy prophets.
22Moses said, ‘Adonai your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your brothers. Hear and obey Him in all that He shall say to you.
23And it shall be that every soul that will not listen to that Prophet shall be completely cut off from the people.’
24Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel on have announced these days.
25You are the sons of the prophets and also of the covenant that God cut with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘In your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’
26God raised up His Servant and sent Him first to you, to bless you all by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
