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.”

Healing of a Lame Man
1Now Peter and John were going up together to the temple complex at the hour of prayer # Ps 55:17; Mt 27:46; Ac 10:3,30 at three in the afternoon. # Lit at the ninth hour 2And a man who was lame from birth was carried there and placed every day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so he could beg from those entering the temple complex. # Lk 16:20; Jn 9:8; Ac 14:8 3When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple complex, he asked for help. 4Peter, along with John, looked at him intently and said, “Look at us.” 5So he turned to them, # Or he paid attention to them expecting to get something from them. 6But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but what I have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk! ” # 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, stood, and started to walk, and he entered the temple complex with them — walking, leaping, and praising God. # Is 35:4-6; Ac14:10 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 complex. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him. # Jn 9:8; Ac 3:2
Preaching in Solomon’s Colonnade
11While he # Other mss read the lame man who was healed was holding on to Peter and John, all the people, greatly amazed, ran toward them in what is called Solomon’s Colonnade. # Lk 22:8; Jn 10:23; Ac 5:12 12When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Or 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 fathers, # Ac 5:30; 7:32; 22:14 has glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, # Mt 27:2; Lk 23:4; Jn 19:15; Ac 13:28 when he had decided to release Him. 14But you denied the Holy and Righteous One # Mk 1:24; Ac 4:27; 7:52 and asked to have a murderer given to you. # Mk 15:11; Lk 23:18,25 15You killed the source # Or the Prince, or the Ruler of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this. # 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 Him has given him this perfect health in front of all of you.
17“And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, just as your leaders also did. # Lk 23:34; Ac 13:27 18But what God predicted through the mouth of all the prophets — that His Messiah would suffer — He has fulfilled # Lk 24:27; Ac 2:23; 17:3; 26:23 in this way. 19Therefore repent # Ac 2:38; 8:22; 17:30; 26:20 and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, # Ps 51:1,9; Is 43:25; 44:22; Col 2:14 that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, # Some editors or translators put that seasons . . . the Lord in v. 20 20and that He may send Jesus, who has been appointed # Ac 22:14; 26:16 for you as the Messiah. 21Heaven must welcome # Or receive, or retain Him until the times of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about by the mouth of His holy prophets from the beginning. # Mt 17:10; Lk 1:70; Ac 1:11 22Moses said: # 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 Him in everything He will say to you. 23And everyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be completely cut off from the people. # Dt 18:15-19; Ac 7:37 # Dt 18:15-19
24“In addition, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, have also announced these days. 25You are the sons 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. # Gn 22:18; Ac 2:39; Rm 9:4 # Gn 12:3; 18:18; 22:18; 26:4 26God raised up His Servant # Other mss add Jesus and sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways.” # Ac 2:24; 13:46; Rm 1:16
