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

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.”
