The Acts 3
3
1Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2And a certain man that was lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 3who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. 4And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us. 5And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them. 6But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. 7And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength. 8And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 10and they took knowledge of him, that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. 11And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk? 13The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. 14But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you, 15and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. 16And by faith in his name hath his name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is through him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 17And now, brethren, I wot that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 18But the things which God foreshewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled. 19Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord; 20and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus: 21whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets which have been since the world began. 22Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me; to him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you. 23And it shall be, that every soul, which shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. 24Yea and all the prophets from Samuel and them that followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days. 25Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 26Unto you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.

A Lame Man Healed
1Now Peter and John went up together #Acts 2:46to the temple at the hour of prayer, #Ps. 55:17; Matt. 27:45; Acts 10:30the ninth hour. 2And #Acts 14:8a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, #John 9:8; Acts 3:10to ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: #Acts 4:10In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8So he, #Is. 35:6leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9#Acts 4:16, 21And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10Then they knew that it was he who #John 9:8; Acts 3:2sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
Preaching in Solomon’s Portico
11Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch #John 10:23; Acts 5:12which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13#John 5:30The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, #Is. 49:3; John 7:39; 12:23; 13:31glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you #Matt. 27:2delivered up and #Matt. 27:20; Mark 15:11; Luke 23:18; John 18:40; Acts 13:28denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14But you denied #Ps. 16:10; Mark 1:24; Luke 1:35the Holy One #Acts 7:52; 2 Cor. 5:21and the Just, and #John 18:40asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15and killed the Prince of life, #Acts 2:24whom God raised from the dead, #Acts 2:32of which we are witnesses. 16#Matt. 9:22; Acts 4:10; 14:9And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17“Yet now, brethren, I know that #Luke 23:34; John 16:3; (Acts 13:27; 17:30); 1 Cor. 2:8; 1 Tim. 1:13you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18But #Luke 24:44; Acts 26:22those things which God foretold #Ps. 22; Is. 50:6; 53:5; Dan. 9:26; Hos. 6:1; Zech. 13:6; 1 Pet. 1:10by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19#(Acts 2:38; 26:20)Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21#Acts 1:11whom heaven must receive until the times of #Matt. 17:11; (Rom. 8:21)restoration of all things, #Luke 1:70which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. 22For Moses truly said to the fathers, #Deut. 18:15, 18, 19; Acts 7:37‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ 24Yes, and #2 Sam. 7:12; Luke 24:25all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days. 25#Acts 2:39; (Rom. 9:4, 8; Gal. 3:26)You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, #Gen. 12:3; 18:18; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26To you #Matt. 15:24; John 4:22; Acts 13:46; (Rom. 1:16; 2:9)first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, #Is. 42:1; Matt. 1:21in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
