Acts 3
1 And it occurred, as Simon Cephas and John went together up to the temple, at the time of prayer, being the ninth hour,
Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon.
2 that, lo, those accustomed to bring a man lame from his mother's womb, brought him and laid him at the gate of the temple called Beautiful; that he might ask alms of those going into the temple.
A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they put daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.
3 This man, when he saw Simon and John going into the temple, asked them to give him alms.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
4 And Simon and John looked on him, and said to him: Look on us.
Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us."
5 And he looked on them, expecting to receive something from them.
He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Simon said to him: Gold and silver, I have not; but what I have, I give to thee; in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, the Nazarean, rise up and walk.
But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Yeshua the Messiah the Natzrati, get up and walk."
7 And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and forthwith, his feet and his heels recovered strength.
He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
8 And he sprang, stood up, and walked: and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him, as he walked and praised God.
All the people saw him walking and praising God.
10 And they knew that he was the beggar, who sat daily and asked alms, at the gate called Beautiful: and they were filled with wonder and admiration at what had occurred.
They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 And as he held fast to Simon and John, all the people admiring ran to them at the portico called Solomon's.
And as he held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12 And when Simon saw it, he answered and said to them: Men, sons of Israel, why do ye wonder at this? or why do ye gaze on us, as if by our own power or authority we had made this man to walk?
When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him 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 in the presence of Pilate, when he would have justified him and set him free.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Yeshua, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 But ye denied the holy and just One, and demanded that a murderer should be released to you.
But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a man who was a murderer to be granted to you,
15 And that Prince of life ye slew; and him, hath God raised from the dead, and all of us are witnesses of it.
and killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.
16 And, by the faith in his name, he hath strengthened and cured this man, whom ye see and know; and faith in him hath given the man this soundness before you all.
By faith in his name, his name has 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.
17 And now, my brethren, I know that through misapprehensions ye did this, as did also your chiefs:
"Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18 and God, according as he had previously announced by the mouth of all the prophets that the Messiah would suffer, hath in this manner fulfilled it.
But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Messiah should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
19 Repent, therefore, and be converted; that so your sins may be blotted out,
"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,
20 and times of rest may come to you from before the face of the Lord; and he may send to you him, who was made ready for you, Jesus the Messiah:
and that he may send the Messiah Yeshua, who was ordained for you before,
21 whom the heavens must retain, until the completion of the times of those things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets of old. (aiōn g165)
whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets. (aiōn g165)
22 For Moses said: A prophet, like me, will the Lord raise up to you, from among your brethren; to him hearken ye, in all that he shall say to you.
For Moses indeed said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.
23 And it will be, that every soul who will not hearken to that prophet, that soul shall perish from his people.
It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
24 And all the prophets that have been, from Samuel and those after him, have spoken and proclaimed of these days.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets: and that covenant which God made with our fathers, when he said to Abraham, that in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed,
You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.'
26 he hath first established to you: and God hath sent his Son to bless you, if ye will be converted, and repent of your wickedness.
God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."
