Healing of a Lame Man
1Now Peter and John were going up to the temple for the time of prayer # 3:1 Ps 55:17; Mt 27:46; Ac 10:3,30 at three in the afternoon. # 3:1 Lit at the ninth hour 2A man who was lame from birth was being carried there. He was placed each day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so that he could beg from those entering the temple. # 3:2 Lk 16:20; Jn 9:8; Ac 14:8 3When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked for money. 4Peter, along with John, looked straight at him and said, “Look at us.” 5So he turned to them, expecting to get something from them. 6But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk! ” # 3:6 Ac 4:10; 2Co 6:10 7Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong. 8So he jumped up and started to walk, and he entered the temple with them — walking, leaping, and praising God. # 3:8 Is 35:4–6; Ac 14:10 9All the people saw him walking and praising God, 10and they recognized that he was the one who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him. # 3:10 Jn 9:8; Ac 3:2
Preaching in Solomon’s Colonnade
11While he # 3:11 Other mss read the lame man who was healed was holding on to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astonished, ran toward them in what is called Solomon’s Colonnade. # 3:11 Lk 22:8; Jn 10:23; Ac 5:12 12When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Fellow Israelites, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us, as though we had made him walk by our own power or godliness? 13The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, # 3:13 Ac 5:30; 7:32; 22:14 has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied before Pilate, # 3:13 Mt 27:2; Lk 23:4; Jn 19:15; Ac 13:28 though he had decided to release him. 14You denied the Holy and Righteous One # 3:14 Mk 1:24; Ac 4:27; 7:52 and asked to have a murderer released to you. # 3:14 Mk 15:11; Lk 23:18,25 15You killed the source # 3:15 Or the Prince, or the Ruler of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this. # 3:15 Ac 2:24; 5:31 16By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. So the faith that comes through Jesus has given him this perfect health in front of all of you.
17“And now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders also did. # 3:17 Lk 23:34; Ac 13:27 18In this way God fulfilled what he had predicted through all the prophets — that his Messiah would suffer. # 3:18 Lk 24:27; Ac 2:23; 17:3; 26:23 19Therefore repent # 3:19 Ac 2:38; 8:22; 17:30; 26:20 and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, # 3:19 Ps 51:1,9; Is 43:25; 44:22; Col 2:14 20that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed # 3:20 Ac 22:14; 26:16 for you as the Messiah. 21Heaven must receive him until the time of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about through his holy prophets from the beginning. # 3:21 Mt 17:10; Lk 1:70; Ac 1:11 22Moses said: # 3:22 Other mss add to the fathers The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you. 23And everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be completely cut off from the people. # 3:22–23 Dt 18:15–19,# 3:22–23 Dt 18:15–19; Ac 7:37
24“In addition, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, have also foretold these days. 25You are the sons # 3:25 = heirs of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, saying to Abraham, And all the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring. # 3:25 Gn 12:3; 18:18; 22:18; 26:4,# 3:25 Gn 22:18; Ac 2:39; Rm 9:4 26God raised up his servant # 3:26 Other mss add Jesus and sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways.” # 3:26 Ac 2:24; 13:46; Rm 1:16

1Now Kefa and Yochanan were going up to the Beis Hamikdash at the hour of tefillah, the ninth hour (three o'clock in the afternoon).#3:1 Ps 55:17 2And a certain ish, an ish (pisei'ach from the womb of his em), was being carried and they were putting him bederech klal (usually) yom yom at the sha'ar of the Beis Hamikdash, the one being called the Sha'ar Hatiferet, in order to beg for tzedakah from the ones entering into the Beis Hamikdash. 3When the ish pisei'ach (lame man) saw Kefa and Yochanan being about to enter into the Beis Hamikdash, he began begging them for tzedakah. 4But Kefa, as did Yochanan, gazed at him, saying, Look at us! 5And the ish pisei'ach was paying heed to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6And Kefa said, Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give to you. In ha-Shem of the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua of Natzeret, get up and walk! 7And having grasped him by the yamin, Kefa lifted him up, and immediately the manʼs feet and ankles were strengthened. 8And leaping up, he stood and was walking around, and he entered with them into the Beis Hamikdash, walking and leaping and shouting, Baruch Hashem!#3:8 Isa 35:6 9And all the people saw him walking and shouting, Baruch Hashem! 10And they recognized him, that he was the one sitting at the Sha'ar Hatiferet (Beautiful Gate) of the Beis Hamikdash begging for tzedakah; and they were nispoyel (standing in awe) and amazement at what had happened to him.
11Now while Kefa and Yochanan were being held by him, all the people ran together to them at the Portico which is called Ulam Sh'lomo, and the people were utterly astonished. 12And when Kefa saw this, he answered the people, preaching, Anshei Yisroel, why are you bewildered at this or at us? Why are you gazing as if it were by our own ko'ach or chassidus that this man has become able to walk? 13Hashem, Elohei Avraham V'Elohei Yitzchak V'Elohei Ya'akov, the G-d of Avoteinu, has brought kavod to his mesharet, his Eved, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate when you decided to release the other one.#3:13 Ex 3:6,15; Isa 52:13; 53:11 14But you denied HaKadosh and the Tzaddik and you asked for a man who was a rotzeach (murderer) to be granted unto you, 15but the Sar HaChayyim you did away with, whom Hashem made to stand up alive again from the mesim, of which we are edim (witnesses). 16And on the basis of emunah in Shmo (Name), this ish whom you see and know, the Shem of Yehoshua has made him strong; ken, and it is emunah (faith) that comes through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, which has given a refu'ah shleimah (complete healing) to this man in the presence of all of you.
17And now, Achim, I realize that according to a lack of da'as you acted, as did also your manhigim (leaders). 18But Hashem has thus fulfilled the things which he announced beforehand through the mouth of all the Nevi'im that the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach should undergo Messianic yissurim (sufferings). 19Therefore, make teshuva (repentance, turning from chet [sin] to G-d) and turn in order that your chatta'im, your averos (sins) may be removed,#3:19 Ps 51:1; Isa 43:25; 44:22 20In order that times of rest may come from the presence of Adonoi, and that he may send the one having been proclaimed beforehand to you, that is, the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, 21Whom it is necessary for Shomayim to receive until the times of the Tikkun of all things of which Hashem spoke long ago through the mouth of his Nevi'im hakedoshim. 22Moshe Rabbenu indeed said, NAVI KAMONI#3:22 T. N. i.e., a prophet like Moses for you Hashem Adonoi will raise up from your achim; to him you will give heed according to everything whatever he may speak to you.#3:22 Dt 18:15,18 23And it will be that every nefesh (soul) whoever LO YISHMA (does not listen) to that Navi (prophet) will be utterly destroyed from among the people.#3:23 Dt 18:19; Lv 23:29 24And likewise all the Nevi'im (prophets) from Shmuel and his successors onward, also announced HaYom HaZeh. 25You are the Bnei HaNevi'im (prophets) and you are the Bnei HaBrit which Hashem decreed to your Avot, saying to Avraham Avinu, V'NIVRAKHU (and they will be blessed) in your ZERA (Seed), KOL MISHPEKHOT HA'ADAMAH (and in your Zera will be blessed all the families of the earth.)#3:25 Gn 12:3; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14 26To you rishonah (first) Hashem raised up his EVED,#3:26 Moshiach sending him to give you a bracha, turning every one of you in teshuva away from your wicked ways.
