Acts 3

1Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2And a certain man who 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 those who entered into the temple; 3who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive alms. 4And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us. 5And he paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6But Peter said, Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Yeshua Messiah 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 recognized him, 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 had happened to him. 11And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering. 12And when Peter saw it, he answered the people, You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? or why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk? 13The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Yeshua; whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. 14But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; of which we are witnesses. 16And by faith in his name has his name made this man strong, whom you see and know: yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 17And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18But the things which God foreshowed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Messiah should suffer, he thus fulfilled. 19Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord; 20and that he may send the Messiah who has been appointed for you, even Yeshua: 21whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old. 22Moses indeed said, A prophet shall Yehovah God raise up to you from among your brothers, like me; to him shall you listen in all things whatever he shall speak to you. 23And it shall be, that every soul that does not listen to that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. 24Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days. 25You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 26To you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.
