¹Now Peter and John were going up together to the temple at the hour of prayer – the ninth hour, ²when a certain man who had been lame from his mother's womb was being carried, a man whom they would put at the door of the temple called “Beautiful” every day, for him to ask for alms from those going into the temple. ³And when he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked for alms. ⁴But Peter looked at him intently with John and said, “Look at us.” ⁵So he heeded them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶But Peter said, “Silver and gold I don't have, but what I do have, I will give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk.” ⁷And taking hold of him by his right hand, he lifted him up, and immediately his feet and his ankles were made firm. ⁸And he leapt up and stood, and he walked around and went into the temple with them, walking around and leaping and praising God. ⁹And all the people saw him walking around and praising God, ¹⁰and they recognized him – that this was the man who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with astonishment and amazement at what had happened to him. ¹¹Then while the lame man who had been healed held onto Peter and John, all the people converged on them at what is called Solomon's Portico, greatly astonished. ¹²And when Peter saw this, he answered the people, “You Israelite men, why are you astonished at this, or why do you look at us so intently as if it were by our own power or godliness that we made him walk? ¹³The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob – the God of our fathers – glorified his servant Jesus, whom you though delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had resolved to release him. ¹⁴But you disowned the holy and righteous one and asked for a man who was a murderer to be granted release to you. ¹⁵And you killed the originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. ¹⁶And by faith in his name, his name has given strength to this man whom you see and know, and faith which is through him has given him this clean bill of health in the presence of you all. ¹⁷And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance, as also your rulers did. ¹⁸But God has in this way fulfilled the things which he declared beforehand through the mouth of all his prophets, namely that Christ should suffer. ¹⁹Repent therefore, and return, in order that your sins may be wiped out, and that the times of relief may come from the Lord, ²⁰and that he may send you Christ Jesus who was taken in hand in advance for you, ²¹whom heaven must receive until the times of the restoration of all things of which God has spoken through the mouth of all his holy prophets of old time. ²²For Moses said to the fathers, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet to you from your brothers like me. You will hear him in regard to whatever he says to you. ²³And it will come to pass that anyone who does not hear that prophet will be utterly eradicated from the people.’ ²⁴Indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed – all who have spoken – also announced these days. ²⁵You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And through your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.’ ²⁶God raised up his servant Jesus to you first, and he sent him to bless you by turning each one away from your wicked ways.”
