Acts 3

1One afternoon PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 were going upG305 toG1519 theG3588 templeG2411 atG1909 theG3588 hourG5610 of prayerG4335, theG3588 ninthG1766 hour.1 2AndG2532 aG5100 manG435 who wasG5225 lameG5560 fromG1537 birthG846G3384G2836 was being carriedG941 to theG3588 templeG2411 gateG2374 calledG3004 BeautifulG5611, where he was putG5087 everyG2596 dayG2250 to begG154G1654 fromG3844 thoseG3588 enteringG1531G1519 theG3588 templeG2411 courts.2 3When he sawG3708 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 aboutG3195 to enterG1524, he askedG2065 them forG2983 moneyG1654.

PeterG4074 looked directlyG816 atG1519 himG846, asG4862 did JohnG2491. “LookG991 atG1519 usG1473!” saidG2036 Peter. 5So the man gave them his attentionG1907G846, expectingG4328 to receiveG2983 somethingG5100 fromG3844 themG846. 6ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036, “SilverG694 or goldG5553 I do not haveG1473G5225G3756, butG1161 whatG3739 I haveG2192 I giveG1325 youG4771: InG1722 theG3588 nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ofG3588 NazarethG3480, get upG1453 andG2532 walkG4043!3”

TakingG4084 himG846 by theG3588 rightG1188 handG5495, Peter helped him upG1453G846, andG1161 at onceG3916 the man’s feetG939 andG2532 anklesG4974 were made strongG4732. 8He sprangG1814 to his feetG2476 andG2532 began to walkG4043. ThenG2532 he wentG1525 withG4862 themG846 intoG1519 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, walkingG4043 andG2532 leapingG242 andG2532 praisingG134 GodG2316.

9When allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992 sawG3708 himG846 walkingG4043 andG2532 praisingG134 GodG2316, 10they recognizedG1921 himG846 as theG3588 man who used to sitG2521 begging atG1909 theG3588 BeautifulG5611 GateG4439 of theG3588 templeG2411, andG2532 they were filledG4130 with wonderG2285 andG2532 amazementG1611 atG1909 whatG3588 had happenedG4819 to himG846.

Peter Speaks in Solomon’s Colonnade

(Deuteronomy 18:15–22)

11While the man clung toG2902 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491, allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992 were astonishedG1569 and ranG4936 toG4314 themG846 inG1909 theG3588 walkway calledG2564 Solomon’sG4672 ColonnadeG4745.4 12AndG1161 when PeterG4074 sawG3708 this, he addressedG611 theG3588 peopleG2992: “MenG435 of IsraelG2475, whyG5101 are you surprisedG2296 byG1909 thisG3778? WhyG5101 do you stareG816 at usG1473 as ifG5613 by our ownG2398 powerG1411 orG2228 godlinessG2150 we had madeG4160 this man walkG4043?

13TheG3588 GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, IsaacG2464, andG2532 JacobG2384, theG3588 GodG2316 of ourG1473 fathersG3962, has glorifiedG1392 HisG846 servantG38165 JesusG2424. YouG4771 handedG3860 Him over andG2532 rejectedG720 Him beforeG2596G4383 PilateG4091, even though heG1565 had decidedG2919 to releaseG630 Him. 14YouG4771 rejectedG720 theG3588 HolyG40 andG2532 Righteous OneG1342 andG2532 asked thatG154 a murdererG435G5406 be releasedG5483 to youG4771. 15You killedG615 theG3588 AuthorG747 of lifeG2222, but GodG2316 raisedG1453 Him fromG1537 the deadG3498, and weG1473 areG1510 witnessesG3144 of thisG3739 fact.

ByG1909 faithG4102 inG3588 the nameG3686 of JesusG846, thisG3778 man whomG3739 you seeG2334 andG2532 knowG1492 has been made strongG4732. It is Jesus’ nameG3686 andG2532 theG3588 faithG4102 thatG3588 comes throughG1223 HimG846 that has givenG1325 himG846 thisG3778 complete healingG3647 in your presenceG561G3956G4771.

17AndG2532 nowG3568, brothersG80, I knowG1492 thatG3754 you actedG4238 inG2596 ignoranceG52, asG5618 did yourG4771 leadersG758. 18ButG1161 in this wayG3779 God has fulfilledG4137 whatG3739 He foretoldG4293 throughG1223 allG3956 theG3588 prophetsG4396, saying that HisG846 ChristG5547 would sufferG3958. 19RepentG3340, thenG3767, andG2532 turn backG1994, so thatG4314 yourG4771 sinsG266 may be wiped awayG1813, 20thatG3704G302 timesG2540 of refreshingG403 may comeG2064 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of theG3588 LordG2962, andG2532 that He may sendG649 JesusG2424, the ChristG5547, whoG3588 has been appointedG4400 for youG4771.

21HeavenG3772 mustG1163 take Him inG1209G3739 untilG891 the timeG5550 comes for the restorationG605 of all thingsG3956, whichG3739 GodG2316 announcedG2980 long agoG575G165 throughG1223G4750G3588 HisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396. 22ForG3303 MosesG3475 saidG2036, ‘TheG3588 LordG2962 yourG4771 GodG2316 will raise upG450 for youG4771 a prophetG4396 likeG5613 meG1473 from amongG1537 yourG4771 brothersG80. You must listen toG191 HimG846 inG2596 everythingG3956G3745G302 He tellsG2980G4314 youG4771.6 23EveryoneG3956G5590 whoG3748 does not listenG1437G3361G191 to Him will be completely cut offG1842 from amongG1537 his peopleG2992.7’

24IndeedG2532, allG3956 theG3588 prophetsG4396 fromG575 Samuel onG4545, as many asG3745 have spokenG2517G2980, have proclaimedG2605 theseG3778 daysG2250. 25And youG4771 areG1510 sonsG5207 of theG3588 prophetsG4396 andG2532 of theG3588 covenantG1242 GodG2316 madeG1303 withG4314 yourG4771 fathersG3962 when He saidG3004 toG4314 AbrahamG11, ‘ThroughG1722 yourG4771 offspringG4690 allG3956 theG3588 familiesG3965 of theG3588 earthG1093 will be blessedG1757.’8 26When GodG2316 raised upG450 HisG846 ServantG3816, He sentG649 HimG846 firstG4412 to youG4771 to blessG2127 youG4771 byG1722 turningG654 eachG1538 of you fromG575 yourG4771 wicked waysG4189.”
