Acts 3
1 Now Peter and John went up together into the
temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was
carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the
temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them
that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the
temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John,
said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive
something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but
such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him
up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received
strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered
with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and
praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising
God:
10 And they knew 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.
11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter
and John, all the people ran together unto them in
the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly
wondering.
12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the
people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or
why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own
power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob,
the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus;
whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence
of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and
desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath
raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his name through faith in his name hath made
this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith
which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness
in the presence of you all.
17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye
did it, as did also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shewed by
the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should
suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your
sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was
preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of
restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by
the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world
began.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet
shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all
things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which
will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from
among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those
that follow after, as many as have spoken, have
likewise foretold of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the
covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto
Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of
the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son
Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every
one of you from his iniquities.
