Actuum Apostolorum 3
1 Petrus autem, et Ioannes ascendebant in templum ad horam orationis nonam.
One day Peter and John were going up together for the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon,
2 Et quidam vir, qui erat claudus ex utero matris suae, baiulabatur: quem ponebant quotidie ad portam templi, quae dicitur Speciosa, ut peteret eleemosynam ab introeuntibus in templum.
when a man lame from his birth was carried along, who was wont to be laid each day near the gate of the Temple called the Beautiful Gate, to ask alms of those who were going into the Temple.
3 Is cum vidisset Petrum, et Ioannem incipientes introire in templum, rogabat ut eleemosynam acciperet.
When he saw Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he kept asking them for alms;
4 Intuens autem in eum Petrus cum Ioanne, dixit: Respice in nos.
Peter fixed his eyes upon him, as did John, and said, "Look at us."
5 At ille intendebat in eos, sperans se aliquid accepturum ab eis.
So he waited, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said.
6 Petrus autem dixit: Argentum et aurum non est mihi: quod autem habeo, hoc tibi do: In nomine Iesu Christi Nazareni surge, et ambula.
"I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have, this I am going to give to you; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!"
7 Et apprehensa manu eius dextera, allevavit eum, et protinus consolidatae sunt bases eius, et plantae.
Then taking his right hand he lifted him up. Instantly his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened;
8 Et exiliens stetit, et ambulabat: et intravit cum illis in templum ambulans, et exiliens, et laudans Deum.
and leaping forth he stood on his feet, and began to walk, and went with them into the Temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Et vidit omnis populus eum ambulantem, et laudantem Deum.
When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 Cognoscebant autem illum, quod ipse erat, qui ad eleemosynam sedebat ad Speciosam portam templi: et impleti sunt stupore et extasi in eo, quod contigerat illi.
and recognized that this was the man who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Cum viderent autem Petrum, et Ioannem, cucurrit omnis populus ad eos ad porticum, quae appellatur Salomonis, stupentes.
While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people crowded awe- struck around them, in what was known as Solomon’s Portico.
12 Videns autem Petrus, respondit ad populum: Viri Israelitae quid miramini in hoc, aut nos quid intuemini, quasi nostra virtute aut potestate fecerimus hunc ambulare?
When he saw this, Peter said to the people. "Men of Israel, why are you wondering at this? Why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made this man to walk?
13 Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Iacob, Deus patrum nostrorum glorificavit filium suum Iesum, quem vos quidem tradidistis, et negastis ante faciem Pilati, iudicante illo dimitti.
"The God of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you betrayed and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to let him go;
14 Vos autem sanctum, et iustum negastis, et petistis virum homicidam donari vobis:
"but you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favor the release of a murderer.
15 auctorem vero vitae interfecistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, cuius nos testes sumus.
"The Pioneer of Life you put to death. But God has raised him from the dead, and we are witnesses of that fact.
16 Et in fide nominis eius, hunc, quem vos vidistis, et nostis, confirmavit nomen eius: et fides, quae per eum est, dedit integram sanitatem istam in conspectu omnium vestrum.
"And his name, on the ground of faith in his name, has made strong this man, whom you now see and know; yes, the faith that is through him has made this man sound and strong again, in the presence of you all.
17 Et nunc fratres scio quia per ignorantiam fecistis, sicut et principes vestri.
"And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18 Deus autem, qui praenunciavit per os omnium prophetarum, pati Christum suum, sic implevit.
"But God has thus fulfilled what he foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
19 Poenitemini igitur, et convertimini ut deleantur peccata vestra:
"Repent then! and reform, from the blotting out of your sins, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;
20 ut cum venerint tempora refrigerii a conspectu Domini, et miserit eum, qui praedicatus est vobis, Iesum Christum,
"and that he may send Jesus, your appointed Messiah,
21 quem oportet quidem caelum suscipere usque in tempora restitutionis omnium, quae locutus est Deus per os sanctorum suorum a saeculo Prophetarum. (aiōn g165)
"whom the heavens must receive until the time of restoration of all things. "God spoke of this ages ago, through the mouth of his holy prophets. (aiōn g165)
22 Moyses quidem dixit: Quoniam Prophetam suscitabit vobis Dominus Deus vester de fratribus vestris, tamquam meipsum audietis iuxta omnia quaecumque locutus fuerit vobis.
"Moses, for example, said. "The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brothers, as he raised up me; you must listen to whatever he may tell you;
23 Erit autem: omnis anima, quae non audierit Prophetam illum, exterminabitur de plebe.
"and it shall be that every soul who will not listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
24 Et omnes prophetae a Samuel, et deinceps, qui locuti sunt, annunciaverunt dies istos.
"Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and his successors, all that have spoken, have also told of those days.
25 Vos estis filii prophetarum et testamenti, quod disposuit Deus ad patres nostros, dicens ad Abraham: Et in semine tuo benedicentur omnes familiae terrae.
"You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
26 Vobis primum Deus suscitans Filium suum, misit eum benedicentem vobis: ut convertat se unusquisque a nequitia sua.
"It was for you first that God raised up his Servant, and sent him to bless you in turning every one of you away from your wicked ways."
