Acts 3:1-16

1Now Peter and John were going up to the Temple at the ninth hour, the time of prayer.

2A man lame from birth was being carried—every day they used to put him at the Temple gate called Beautiful, so he could beg for tzadakah from those entering the Temple.

3When he saw Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he began asking to receive tzadakah.

4But Peter, along with John, looked straight at him and said, “Look at us!”

5So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

6But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you—in the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach ha-Natzrati, get up and walk!”

7Then grabbing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

8Jumping up, he stood and began walking; and he went with them into the Temple, walking and leaping and praising God!

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

10They began to realize he was the one who used to sit begging for tzadakah at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, and they were filled with wonder and astonishment over what had happened to him.

11While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people together came running toward them in the place called Solomon’s Portico.

12But when Peter saw, he responded to the people, “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us—as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

13The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His Servant Yeshua—the One you handed over and disowned before Pilate, though he had decided to release Him.

14But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you.

15You killed the Author of life—the One God raised from the dead! We are witnesses of it.

16Now through faith in the name of Yeshua, His name has strengthened this man whom you see and know. Indeed, the faith through Yeshua has given this man perfect health in front of you all.
