( One afternoon ) Peter - and John - were going up to the temple at the hour - of prayer , the ninth (hour).
And a man who was lame from vvv vvv birth was being carried (to) the - temple gate - called Beautiful , - (where) he was put every day - to beg ... from those entering ... the temple (courts).
(When) he saw Peter - and John - about to enter - - - , he asked (them) for money.
- Peter - looked directly at him , as (did) - John -. “ Look at us ! ” said (Peter -).
(So) - (the man) gave them his attention ... , expecting to receive something from them.
But Peter - said , “ Silver (or) gold I do not have ... ... , but what I have - I give you : In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth , get up and walk ! ”
- Taking him by the right hand , (Peter -) helped him up ... , and at once (the man’s) - feet and - ankles were made strong.
- He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple (courts) , walking and leaping and praising - God.
(When) all the people saw him walking and praising - God ,
- they recognized him (as) - - the (man) who used to sit vvv vvv (begging) at the Beautiful Gate of the temple , and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
(While) (the man) clung to - Peter - and - John - , all the people were astonished (and) ran to them in the (walkway) - called Solomon’s Colonnade.
And - (when) Peter - saw (this) , he addressed - the people : “ Men of Israel , why are you surprised by this ? - Why do you stare at us as if by (our) own power or godliness (we) had made (this man) - walk ?
The God of Abraham , - - - Isaac , and - - Jacob , the God of our - fathers , has glorified His - servant Jesus. You - handed (Him over) and rejected (Him) vvv before Pilate , (even though) he had decided to release (Him).
- You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that vvv a murderer be released to you.
- You killed the Author - of life , - (but) God raised (Him) from (the) dead , (and) we are witnesses of (the fact).
- By - faith in (the) name of Jesus , this (man) whom you see and know has been made strong. (It is Jesus’) - name and the faith that (comes) through Him (that) has given him this complete healing - in your presence ... ....
And now , brothers , I know that you acted in ignorance , as (did) your - leaders -.
But in this way (God) has fulfilled what - (He) foretold through all the prophets , (saying that) His - Christ would suffer.
Repent , then , and turn back , so that your - sins - may be wiped away ,
that ... times of refreshing may come from (the) presence of the Lord , and (that) He may send Jesus , (the) Christ , who has been appointed for you.
Heaven - must take Him in ... until (the) time (comes) for (the) restoration of all things , which - God announced vvv long ago through ... ... His holy prophets.
For Moses said - , ‘ 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 tells ... you.
- - Everyone ... who vvv vvv does not listen vvv vvv ( to Him ) will be completely cut off from among (his) people. ’
Indeed - , all the prophets from Samuel on , - as many as - vvv have spoken , - have proclaimed these - days.
(And) you are - sons of the prophets and of the covenant - God made with - your - fathers (when) He said to Abraham , ‘ - Through your - offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
- (When) God raised up His - Servant , He sent Him first to you to bless you by - turning each (of you) from your - wicked ways. ”
