彼得医治瘸腿的乞丐
3 一天，在下午三点祷告的时间，彼得和约翰去圣殿。 2 有一个生来瘸腿的人天天被人抬到圣殿美门的外面，向进殿的人乞讨。 3 他看见彼得和约翰要进殿，就求他们施舍。 4 二人定睛看他，彼得说：“看着我们！” 5 那人就紧盯着他们，期盼能有所收获。
6 彼得说：“金子、银子我都没有，但是我把我有的给你。我奉拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名，命令你起来行走！”
7 彼得拉着他的右手扶他起来，那人的脚和踝骨立刻变得强健有力。 8 他跳了起来，站稳后开始行走，跟着彼得和约翰进入圣殿，走着跳着赞美上帝。 9 大家看见他一边走一边赞美上帝， 10 认出他就是那个在美门外面的乞丐，都为发生在他身上的事而感到惊奇、诧异。 11 那乞丐紧紧拉着彼得和约翰的手走到所罗门廊，众人都跑过来，啧啧称奇。
彼得传扬基督
12 彼得看见这情形，就对大家说：“以色列人啊，何必惊奇呢？为什么一直盯着我们呢？你们以为我们是凭自己的能力和虔诚叫这人行走吗？ 13 亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的上帝，就是我们祖先的上帝，已经使祂的仆人耶稣得了荣耀。你们把耶稣交给彼拉多，尽管彼拉多想释放祂，你们却在彼拉多面前弃绝祂！ 14 你们弃绝了那圣洁公义者，竟然要求彼拉多释放一个凶手。 15 你们杀了生命之主，上帝却使祂从死里复活了。我们都是这事的见证人。 16 你们认识的这个乞丐因为相信耶稣的名，得到了医治。你们都看见了，他能痊愈是因为他信耶稣。
17 “弟兄们，我知道你们的所作所为是出于无知，你们的官长也是一样。 18 但是上帝早已借众先知预言基督要受害，这事果然应验了。 19 所以你们要悔改，归向上帝，祂将除去你们一切的罪恶， 20 赐给你们焕然一新的日子，也将差遣祂预先为你们选立的基督耶稣降临。 21 基督必须留在天上，直到万物更新的时候，这是上帝自古以来借圣先知的口说的。 22 摩西曾经说，‘主——你们的上帝将要在你们中间兴起一位像我一样的先知。你们要留心听祂的话， 23 凡不听的，必将他从民中铲除。’
24 “从撒母耳到后来的所有先知都宣告过这些日子。 25 你们是先知的子孙，也承受了上帝和你们祖先所立的约。上帝曾对亚伯拉罕说，‘天下万族必因你的后裔而蒙福。’ 26 上帝兴起祂的仆人，首先差遣祂到你们中间赐福给你们，使你们脱离罪恶。”

彼得治愈瘸腿的人
3 一天，彼得和约翰正往大殿院走去，此时是下午三点－正值祷告时分。一些人抬着一个天生就腿瘸的人走了过来。 2 他们每天都把他抬到大殿门口，这个门叫作“美门”。他们把他抬到那里，是为了向要进大殿的人们乞讨。 3 当他看到彼得和约翰正要进大殿院，便张口向他们要钱。 4 彼得和约翰直视着那个人，说∶“看着我们！” 5 那个人看着他们，巴望着能从他们那里得到些什么。 6 可是，彼得却说∶“我既没有银子，也没有金子，我只给你我有的东西：以拿撒勒的耶稣基督的名义，站起来，行走！” 7 说完，彼得拉起他的右手，把他扶了起来。刹那间，那个人的脚和踝骨都变得强壮了， 8 他一跃而起，开始行走，并与他们一起走进了大殿院，一路上连走带跳地赞美上帝。
彼得对众人讲道
11 原来腿瘸的那个人在所罗门廊 [a]下拉着彼得和约翰。所有的人都感到十分惊讶，他们都跑了过来。 12 彼得看到这个情景，便对众人说∶“我的以色列同胞啊，你们为什么对此感到如此惊奇呢？你们为什么这么盯着我们，就好像我们是凭自己的力量或虔诚使这个人走路的？ 13 亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各 [b]的上帝，我们祖先的上帝，赋予了他的仆人耶稣荣耀。你们把他交出去杀害了。虽然，彼拉多已经决定把他释放，可你们却在他的面前拒弃了他。 14 你们抛弃了神圣和正义的人，却要求释放一个杀人犯。 15 你们杀害了生命的王子 [c]，但是，上帝却让他从死里复活了。我们是这件事的见证人。 16 因信仰耶稣之名，你们所看到、所认识的人恢复了健康。正是耶稣的名和来自对耶稣的信任，让这人痊愈的。这是大家有目共睹的。
17 兄弟们，我知道，你们那么做是出于无知，你们的领袖们也是如此， 18 但是，上帝通过众先知之口早就预言到基督会受难，这个预言果然应验了。 19 因此，悔改吧，重归上帝吧，让你们的罪过得以勾销， 20 这样，精神上安宁的日子就会从主那里降临给你们；这样，他才会差谴耶稣，即他为你们挑选的基督。 21 基督必须留在天上，直到上帝复兴了一切，关于这点，正如很久以前他借他神圣先知之口所说的那样。 22 摩西就说过∶‘主，你们的上帝，要让一位像我一样的先知出现在你们中间，他将来自你们自己人中间。你们一定要服从他所说的一切， 23 任何不听从那位先知话的人，都要从上帝的子民中被彻底剪除。’ [d] 24 的确，所有传播过信息的先知，包括撒母耳和他之后的每一位先知，都预言过目前的这些日子。 25 你们是先知的后代，也是上帝和你们的祖先所立之约的继承者。他曾经对亚伯拉罕说过∶‘通过你的后代，大地上所有的民族都要受到祝福。’ 26 上帝让他的仆人出现时，把他先派遣到你们这里，通过每个人改邪归正，来保佑你们。”

First Encounter with the Authorities in Israel
Chapter 3
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Walk![a] 1 One day, Peter and John were on their way to the temple for the hour of prayer at three o’clock in the afternoon.[b] 2 A man who had been crippled from his birth was carried there every day and laid at the gate of the temple called the Beautiful Gate[c] so that he could beg for alms from those who entered the temple.
3 When this man saw Peter and John about to enter into the temple, he asked them for alms. 4 Peter looked intently at him, as did John, and said to him, “Look at us!” 5 He looked at them attentively, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “I have neither silver nor gold, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk.”
7 Then Peter grasped him by the right hand and helped him to get up. Immediately, his feet and ankles were strengthened. 8 He jumped up, stood straight, and began to walk, and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 When all the people there saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the man who used to sit and beg for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Peter Speaks to the People.[d] While he continued to cling to Peter and John, all the people came running in amazement toward them in Solomon’s Portico, as it is called. 12 When Peter saw the people assembling, he addressed them:
“Men of Israel, why are you so surprised at this? Why do you stare at us, as though we had enabled this man to walk by our own power or holiness? 13 The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his servant[e] Jesus whom you handed over and disowned in the presence of Pilate after he had decided to release him. 14 You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 The author of life[f] you put to death, but God raised him from the dead. Of this we are witnesses.
16 “By faith in his name, this man whom you see here and who is known to you has been made strong. Faith in him has made him completely well in the presence of all of you.
17 “Now I am aware, brethren, that you acted out of ignorance as did your rulers. 18 God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the Prophets, revealing that his Christ would suffer. 19 Repent, therefore, and be converted so that your sins may be wiped away, 20 that a time of refreshment may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, that is, Jesus. 21 He must remain in heaven until the time comes for the universal restoration announced by God in ages past through his holy Prophets. 22 For Moses said,
‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me
from among your own people.
To him shall you listen
in whatever he tells you.
23 Everyone who refuses to listen to that prophet
will be cut off from the people.’
24 “Furthermore, all the Prophets who have spoken, from Samuel onward, predicted these days.
25 “You are the heirs of the Prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors when he told Abraham, ‘And in your descendants all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each one of you from your wicked ways.”
Footnotes
- Acts 3:1 Peter’s action, as he takes the initiative in the first miracle that Acts ascribes to the disciples of the wonderworker of Nazareth, has special significance: it is done “in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth” and aims to show the presence of Christ and his divine activity.
- Acts 3:1 Three o’clock in the afternoon: literally, “the ninth hour.” See notes on Mt 27:35 and Mk 15:25.
- Acts 3:2 The Beautiful Gate: it was made of Corinthian bronze and led from the court of the Gentiles to the court of the women, on the side where Solomon’s Portico was (v. 11).
- Acts 3:11 The discourse that follows embodies the kerygma (i.e., the essentials of Christian preaching) as intended for a Jewish audience.
- Acts 3:13 Servant: the Greek word can also be translated as “son” or “child” (see Acts 3:26; 4:25, 27, 30). However, scholars believe that the word “servant” fits in better with the underlying idea of Jesus as the suffering Servant of the Lord (Isa 52:13—53:12).
- Acts 3:15 Author of life: this may also be rendered as the “prince of life” or the “pioneer of life”—indicating Jesus as the originator of salvation.
