Dual Panel1Now <1161> Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491> were going up <305> to <1519> the temple <2411> at <1909> the time <5610> for prayer <4335>, at three o’clock in the afternoon <1766>.
2And <2532> a man <435> lame <5560> from <1537> birth <2836> was being <5225> carried up <941>, who <3739> was placed <5087> at the temple <2411> gate <2374> called <3004> “the Beautiful <5611> Gate” every <2596> day <2250> so he could beg for <154> money <1654> from <3844> those going <1531> into <1519> the temple courts <2411>.
3When <1492> he saw <1492> Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491> about <3195> to go <1524> into <1519> the temple courts <2411>, he asked <2065> them for money <1654>.
4Peter <4074> looked directly <816> at <1519> him <846> (as did John <2491>) and said <2036>, “Look <991> at <1519> us <2248>!”
5So <1161> the lame man paid attention <1907> to them <846>, expecting <4328> to receive <2983> something <5100> from <3844> them <846>.
6But <1161> Peter <4074> said <2036>, “I <3427> have <5225> no <3756> silver <694> or <2532> gold <5553>, but <1161> what <3739> I do have <2192> I give <1325> you <4671>. In <1722> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> the Nazarene <3480>, stand up and walk <4043>!”
7Then <2532> Peter took hold <4084> of him <846> by the right <1188> hand <5495> and raised <1453> him <846> up <1453>, and <1161> at once <3916> the man’s <846> feet <939> and <2532> ankles <4974> were made strong <4732>.
8He jumped up <1814>, stood <2476> and <2532> began walking around <4043>, and <2532> he entered <1525> the temple courts <2411> with <4862> them <846>, walking <4043> and <2532> leaping <242> and <2532> praising <134> God <2316>.
9All <3956> the people <2992> saw <1492> him <846> walking <4043> and <2532> praising <134> God <2316>,
10and <1161> they recognized <1921> him <846> as the man <3778> who used <1510> to <4314> sit <2521> and ask for donations <1654> at <1909> the Beautiful <5611> Gate <4439> of the temple <2411>, and <2532> they were filled <4130> with astonishment <2285> and <2532> amazement <1611> at <1909> what had happened <4819> to him <846>.
11While <2902> the man was hanging on <2902> to Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491>, all <3956> the people <2992>, completely astounded <1569>, ran together <4936> to <4314> them <846> in <1909> the covered walkway called <2564> Solomon’s <4672> Portico <4745>.
12When <1492> Peter <4074> saw <1492> this, he declared <611> to <4314> the people <2992>, “Men <435> of Israel <2475>, why <5101> are you amazed <2296> at <1909> this <5129>? Why <5101> do you stare at <816> us <2254> as <5613> if we had made <4160> this man <846> walk <4043> by our own <2398> power <1411> or <2228> piety <2150>?
13The God <2316> of Abraham <11>, Isaac <2464>, and <2532> Jacob <2384>, the God <2316> of our <2257> forefathers <3962>, has glorified <1392> his <846> servant <3816> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> you <5210> handed over <3860> and <2532> rejected <720> in <2596> the presence <4383> of Pilate <4091> after <2919> he had decided <2919> to release <630> him.
14But <1161> you <5210> rejected <720> the Holy <40> and <2532> Righteous One <1342> and <2532> asked <154> that a man <435> who was a murderer <5406> be released <5483> to you <5213>.
15You killed <615> the Originator <747> of life <2222>, whom <3739> God <2316> raised <1453> from <1537> the dead <3498>. To this fact <3739> we <2249> are <1510> witnesses <3144>!
16And <2532> on the basis of faith <4102> in Jesus’ name <3686>, his very name <3686> has made this man <5126>– whom <3739> you see <2334> and <2532> know <1492>– strong <4732>. The faith <4102> that is through <1223> Jesus <846> has given <1325> him <846> this <3778> complete health <3647> in the presence <561> of <3956> you <5216> all <3956>.
17And <2532> now <3568>, brothers <80>, I know <1492> you acted <4238> in <2596> ignorance <52>, as <5618> your <5216> rulers <758> did too.
18But <1161> the things God <2316> foretold long ago <4293> through <1223> all <3956> the prophets <4396>– that his <846> Christ <5547> would suffer <3958>– he has fulfilled <4137> in this way <3779>.
19Therefore <3767> repent <3340> and <2532> turn back <1994> so that <4314> your <5216> sins <266> may be wiped out <1813>,
20so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and <2532> so that he may send <649> the Messiah <5547> appointed <4400> for you <5213>– that is, Jesus <2424>.
21This one heaven <3772> must <1163> receive <1209> until <891> the time <5550> all <3956> things are restored <605>, which God <2316> declared <2980> from <575> times long ago <165> through <1223> his <846> holy <40> prophets <4396>.
22Moses <3475> said <2036>, ‘The Lord <2962> your God <2316> will raise up <450> for you <5213> a prophet <4396> like <5613> me <1691> from among <1537> your <5216> brothers <80>. You must obey <191> him <846> in <2596> everything <3956> he tells <2980> you <5209>.
23Every <3956> person <5590> who <3748> does <191> not <3361> obey <191> that <1565> prophet <4396> will be destroyed and thus removed <1842> from <1537> the people <2992>.’
24And <2532> all <3956> the prophets <4396>, from <575> Samuel <4545> and <2532> those who followed <2517> him, have spoken <2980> about and <2532> announced <2605> these <3778> days <2250>.
25You <5210> are <1510> the sons <5207> of the prophets <4396> and <2532> of the covenant <1242> that <3739> God <2316> made <1303> with <4314> your <5216> ancestors <3962>, saying <3004> to <4314> Abraham <11>, ‘And <2532> in <1722> your <4675> descendants <4690> all <3956> the nations <3965> of the earth <1093> will be blessed <2127>.’
26God <2316> raised up <450> his <846> servant <3816> and sent <649> him <846> first <4412> to you <5213>, to bless <2127> you <5209> by <1722> turning <654> each <1538> one of you from <575> your <5216> iniquities <4189>.”
