Acts 3

1Now Peter and John went up into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer.

2And a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb, was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple.

3He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.

4But Peter with John fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us.

5But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them.

6But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk.

7And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength.

8And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

9And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

10And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.

11And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

12But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk?

13The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released.

14But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you.

15But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

16And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened; and the faith which is by him, hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.

17And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did also your rulers.

18But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

19Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.

20That when the times of refreshment shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send him who hath been preached unto you, Jesus Christ,

21Whom heaven indeed must receive, until the times of the restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the beginning of the world.

22For Moses said: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: him you shall hear according to all things whatsoever he shall speak to you.

23And it shall be, that every soul which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

24And all the prophets, from Samuel and afterwards, who have spoken, have told of these days.

25You are the children of the prophets, and of the testament which God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

26To you first God, raising up his Son, hath sent him to bless you; that every one may convert himself from his wickedness.

1Petrus autem et Joannes ascendebant in templum ad horam orationis nonam.

2Et quidam vir, qui erat claudus ex utero matris suæ, bajulabatur: quem ponebant quotidie ad portam templi, quæ dicitur Speciosa, ut peteret eleemosynam ab introëuntibus in templum.

3Is cum vidisset Petrum et Joannem incipientes introire in templum, rogabat ut eleemosynam acciperet.

4Intuens autem in eum Petrus cum Joanne, dixit: Respice in nos.

5At ille intendebat in eos, sperans se aliquid accepturum ab eis.

6Petrus autem dixit: Argentum et aurum non est mihi: quod autem habeo, hoc tibi do: in nomine Jesu Christi Nazareni surge, et ambula.

7Et apprehensa manu ejus dextera, allevavit eum, et protinus consolidatæ sunt bases ejus et plantæ.

8Et exiliens stetit, et ambulabat: et intravit cum illis in templum ambulans, et exiliens, et laudans Deum.

9Et vidit omnis populus eum ambulantem et laudantem Deum.

10Cognoscebant autem illum, quod ipse erat qui ad eleemosynam sedebat ad Speciosam portam templi: et impleti sunt stupore et extasi in eo quod contigerat illi.

11Cum teneret autem Petrum et Joannem, cucurrit omnis populus ad eos ad porticum quæ appellatur Salomonis, stupentes.

12Videns autem Petrus, respondit ad populum: Viri Israëlitæ, quid miramini in hoc, aut nos quid intuemini, quasi nostra virtute aut potestate fecerimus hunc ambulare?

13Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrorum glorificavit filium suum Jesum, quem vos quidem tradidistis, et negastis ante faciem Pilati, judicante illo dimitti.

14Vos autem sanctum et justum negastis, et petistis virum homicidam donari vobis:

15auctorem vero vitæ interfecistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, cujus nos testes sumus.

16Et in fide nominis ejus, hunc quem vos vidistis et nostis, confirmavit nomen ejus: et fides, quæ per eum est, dedit integram sanitatem istam in conspectu omnium vestrum.

17Et nunc, fratres, scio quia per ignorantiam fecistis, sicut et principes vestri.

18Deus autem, quæ prænuntiavit per os omnium prophetarum, pati Christum suum, sic implevit.

19Pœnitemini igitur et convertimini, ut deleantur peccata vestra:

20ut cum venerint tempora refrigerii a conspectu Domini, et miserit eum qui prædicatus est vobis, Jesum Christum,

21quem oportet quidem cælum suscipere usque in tempora restitutionis omnium quæ locutus est Deus per os sanctorum suorum a sæculo prophetarum.

22Moyses quidem dixit: Quoniam prophetam suscitabit vobis Dominus Deus vester de fratribus vestris, tamquam me: ipsum audietis juxta omnia quæcumque locutus fuerit vobis.

23Erit autem: omnis anima quæ non audierit prophetam illum, exterminabitur de plebe.

24Et omnes prophetæ, a Samuel et deinceps, qui locuti sunt, annuntiaverunt dies istos.

25Vos estis filii prophetarum, et testamenti quod disposuit Deus ad patres nostros, dicens ad Abraham: Et in semine tuo benedicentur omnes familiæ terræ.

26Vobis primum Deus suscitans filium suum, misit eum benedicentem vobis: ut convertat se unusquisque a nequitia sua.

1Now Peter and John went up to the temple at the ninth hour of prayer.

2And a certain man, who was lame from his mother’s womb, was being carried in. They would lay him every day at the gate of the temple, which is called the Beautiful, so that he might request alms from those entering into the temple.

3And this man, when he had seen Peter and John beginning to enter the temple, was begging, so that he might receive alms.

4Then Peter and John, gazing at him, said, “Look at us.”

5And he looked intently at them, hoping that he might receive something from them.

6But Peter said: “Silver and gold is not mine. But what I have, I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.”

7And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up. And immediately his legs and feet were strengthened.

8And leaping up, he stood and walked around. And he entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.

9And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

10And they recognized him, that he was the same one who was sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.

11Then, as he held on to Peter and John, all the people ran to them at the portico, which is called Solomon’s, in astonishment.

12But Peter, seeing this, responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this? Or why do you stare at us, as if it were by our own strength or power that we caused this man to walk?

13The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you, indeed, handed over and denied before the face of Pilate, when he was giving judgment to release him.

14Then you denied the Holy and Just One, and petitioned for a murderous man to be given to you.

15Truly, it was the Author of Life whom you put to death, whom God raised from the dead, to whom we are witnesses.

16And by faith in his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, has confirmed his name. And faith through him has given this man complete health in the sight of you all.

17And now, brothers, I know that you did this through ignorance, just as your leaders also did.

18But in this way God has fulfilled the things that he announced beforehand through the mouth of all the Prophets: that his Christ would suffer.

19Therefore, repent and be converted, so that your sins may be wiped away.

20And then, when the time of consolation will have arrived from the presence of the Lord, he will send the One who was foretold to you, Jesus Christ,

21whom heaven certainly must take up, until the time of the restoration of all things, which God has spoken of by the mouth of his holy prophets, from ages past.

22Indeed, Moses said: ‘For the Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet for you from your brothers, one like me; the same shall you listen to according to everything whatsoever that he shall speak to you.

23And this shall be: every soul who will not listen to that Prophet shall be exterminated from the people.’

24And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and thereafter, have announced these days.

25You are sons of the prophets and of the testament which God has appointed for our fathers, saying to Abraham: ‘And by your offspring all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’

26God raised up his Son and sent him first to you, to bless you, so that each one may turn himself away from his wickedness.”
