1Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth [hour].
2And a certain man was being carried who was lame _from birth_. _He_ was placed every day at the gate of the temple called "Beautiful," [so that he] could ask for charitable gifts from those who were going into the temple [courts].
3[When he] saw Peter and John about to go into the temple [courts], he began asking to receive alms.
4And Peter looked intently at him, together with John, [and] said, "Look at us!
5So he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.
6But Peter said, "Silver and gold _I do not possess_, but what I have, this I give to you—in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!
7And taking hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
8And leaping up, he stood and began walking around and entered into the temple [courts] with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9And all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10And they recognized him, that [he] himself was the one who used to sit [asking] for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.
11And [while] he was holding fast to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s, utterly astonished.
12And [when he] saw [it], Peter replied to the people, "Men [and] Israelites, why are you astonished at this? Or why are you staring at us, as [if] by our own power or godliness we have made him walk?
13The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, [after] he had decided to release [him].
14But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and demanded [that] a man—a murderer—be granted to you.
15And you killed the originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses!
16And on the basis of faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know, and the faith [that is] through him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.
17And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also.
18But [the things] which God foretold through the mouth of all the prophets, [that] his Christ would suffer, he has fulfilled in this way.
19Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out,
20so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and he may send the Christ appointed for you—Jesus,
21whom heaven must receive until the times of the restoration of all [things], about which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from earliest times.
22Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You will listen to him in everything that he says to you.
23And it will be [that] every soul who—if he does not listen to that prophet—will be destroyed utterly from the people.’
24And indeed, all the prophets from Samuel and all those who followed [him] have spoken [about] and proclaimed these days.
25You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God ordained with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed.’
26God, [after he] had raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning each [of you] back from your wickedness!
