彼得醫好瘸腿的人

在下午三點禱告的時辰,彼得和約翰上聖殿去。 有一個生來瘸腿的人被人抬來。他們天天把他放在那名叫美門的殿門口,讓他好向進殿的人討飯。 他看見彼得和約翰將要進殿,就向他們討飯。 彼得和約翰定睛看著他,彼得說:“你看我們!” 那人就留意看著他們,希望從他們得些甚麼。 彼得卻說:“金銀我都沒有,只把我有的給你:我奉拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名,吩咐你行走!” 於是拉著他的右手,扶他起來;他的腳和踝骨立刻強壯有力, 他一跳就站了起來,並且行走。他連走帶跳,讚美 神,同他們進入殿中。 群眾看見他一邊走一邊讚美 神; 10 他們一認出他就是那平時坐在聖殿美門口討飯的,就因他所經歷的事,滿心希奇,驚訝不已。

彼得在所羅門廊下的講道

11 那人拉著彼得和約翰的時候,群眾都很驚奇,跑到他們那裡,就是所羅門廊的下面。 12 彼得看見了,就對群眾說:“以色列人哪,為甚麼因這事希奇呢?為甚麼瞪著我們,好像我們是憑著自己的能力和虔誠,使這人行走呢? 13 亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的 神,就是我們祖宗的 神,榮耀了他的僕人耶穌。這位耶穌,你們把他送交官府。彼拉多本來定意要放他,你們卻當著彼拉多的面拒絕他。 14 你們把那聖者義者拒絕了,反而要求給你們釋放一個殺人犯。 15 你們殺了那‘生命的創始者’, 神卻使他從死人中復活。我們就是這件事的見證人。 16 是他的名—因信他的名—使你們所看見所認識的這個人強壯了。這從耶穌而來的信心,當著你們眾人面前,把他完全醫好了。 17 弟兄們,我知道你們所作的,是出於無知,你們的官長也是這樣。 18 但 神曾經藉著眾先知的口,預先宣告他所立的基督將要受害的事,就這樣應驗了。 19 所以你們應當悔改歸正,使你們的罪得著塗抹。 20 這樣,那安樂的日子,必從主面前來到,並且他必把為你們預先選定的基督(耶穌)差來。 21 他必留在天上,直到萬物復興的時候,就是 神自古藉著聖先知的口所說的。 22 摩西曾說:‘你們的主 神要從你們弟兄中間,給你們興起一位先知像我;無論他對你們說甚麼,你們都應當聽從。 23 無論誰不聽從那位先知,必定從民中滅絕。’ 24 所有從撒母耳起,以及相繼興起來講話的先知,都曾經宣告這些日子。 25 你們是先知的子孫,也是承受 神向你們祖先所立之約的人。 神曾經對亞伯拉罕說:‘地上萬族,都要因你的後裔得福。’ 26  神先給你們興起他的僕人,差他來祝福你們,使你們各人回轉,離開邪惡。”

Healing the Beggar Who Was Unable to Walk

Now (A)Peter and John were going up to the temple at the [a]ninth hour, (B)the hour of prayer. And (C)a man who had been unable to walk from [b]birth was being carried, whom they (D)used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, (E)in order for him to beg for charitable gifts from those entering the temple grounds. When he saw (F)Peter and John about to go into the temple grounds, he began asking to receive a charitable gift. But Peter, along with John, (G)looked at him intently and said, “Look at us!” And he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I do not have silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: (H)In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!” And grasping him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened. And (I)leaping up, he stood and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. And (J)all the people saw him walking and praising God; 10 and they recognized him as being the very one who used to (K)sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg for charitable gifts, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Peter’s Second Sermon

11 While he was clinging to (L)Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the [c](M)portico named Solomon’s, completely astonished. 12 But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why are you staring at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk? 13 (N)The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, (O)the God of our fathers, has glorified His [d](P)Servant Jesus, the one whom (Q)you handed over and disowned in the presence of (R)Pilate, when he had (S)decided to release Him. 14 But you disowned (T)the Holy and Righteous One, and (U)asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 but put to death the [e](V)Prince of life, whom (W)God raised from the dead, [f]a fact to which we are (X)witnesses. 16 And on the basis of faith (Y)in His name, it is [g]the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.

17 “And now, brothers, I know that you acted (Z)in ignorance, just as your (AA)rulers also did. 18 But the things which (AB)God previously announced by the mouths of all the prophets, (AC)that His [h]Christ would suffer, He has fulfilled in this way. 19 Therefore (AD)repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that (AE)times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20 and that He may send Jesus, the [i]Christ appointed for you, 21 (AF)whom heaven must receive until the [j]period of (AG)restoration of all things, about which (AH)God spoke by the mouths of His holy prophets from ancient times. 22 Moses said, ‘(AI)The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your countrymen; to Him you shall listen regarding everything He says to you. 23 (AJ)And it shall be that every (AK)soul that does not listen to that prophet (AL)shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ 24 And likewise, (AM)all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel and his successors onward, have also announced these days. 25 It is you who are (AN)the sons of the prophets and of the (AO)covenant which God ordained with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘(AP)And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 God (AQ)raised up His [k]Servant for you (AR)first, and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”

Healing of a Lame Man

Now Peter and John were going up to the temple for the time of prayer(A) at three in the afternoon.[a] A man who was lame from birth was being carried there. He was placed each day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so that he could beg from those entering the temple.(B) When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked for money. Peter, along with John, looked straight at him and said, ‘Look at us.’ So he turned to them, expecting to get something from them. But Peter said, ‘I don’t have silver or gold, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk! ’(C) Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong. So he jumped up and started to walk, and he entered the temple with them – walking, leaping, and praising God.(D) All the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 and they recognised that he was the one who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.(E)

Preaching in Solomon’s Colonnade

11 While he[b] was holding on to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astonished, ran towards them in what is called Solomon’s Colonnade.(F) 12 When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: ‘Fellow Israelites, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us, as though we had made him walk by our own power or godliness? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors,(G) has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied before Pilate,(H) though he had decided to release him. 14 You denied the Holy and Righteous One(I) and asked to have a murderer released to you.(J) 15 You killed the source[c] of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this.(K) 16 By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. So the faith that comes through Jesus has given him this perfect health in front of all of you.

17 ‘And now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders also did.(L) 18 In this way God fulfilled what he had predicted through all the prophets – that his Messiah would suffer.(M) 19 Therefore repent(N) and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out,(O) 20 that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed(P) for you as the Messiah. 21 Heaven must receive him until the time of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about through his holy prophets from the beginning.(Q) 22 Moses said:[d] The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you. 23 And everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be completely cut off from the people.[e](R)

24 ‘In addition, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, have also foretold these days. 25 You are the sons[f] of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, saying to Abraham, And all the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring.[g](S) 26 God raised up his servant[h] and sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways.’(T)
