3:1 And Peter and John were going up at the same time to the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour],
3:2 and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,
3:3 who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.
3:4 And Peter, having looked stedfastly toward him with John, said, `Look toward us;'
3:5 and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;
3:6 and Peter said, `Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to thee; in the name of JesusChrist of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.'
3:7 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and presently his feet and ankles were strengthened,
3:8 and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;
3:9 and all the people saw him walking and praising God,
3:10 they were knowing him also that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautifulgate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath happened to him.
3:11 And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch called Solomon's -- greatly amazed,
3:12 and Peter having seen, answered unto the people, `Men, Israelites! why wonder ye at this? or on us why look ye so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?
3:14 and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man -- a murderer -- to be granted to you,
3:15 and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;
3:16 and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that [is] through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.
3:17 `And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance ye did [it], as also your rulers;
3:18 and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;
3:19 reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
3:21 whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.
3:22 `For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said -- A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you;
3:23 and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people;
3:24 and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.
