And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [which is] the ninth [hour];

and a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they placed every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were going into the temple;

who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.

And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.

And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.

But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.

And having taken hold of him [by] the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong.

And leaping up he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

And all the people saw him walking and praising God;

10 and they recognised him, that it was *he* who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

11 And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

12 And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?

13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom *ye* delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when *he* had judged that he should be let go.

14 But *ye* denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;

15 but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [the] dead, whereof *we* are witnesses.

16 And, by faith in his name, his name has made this [man] strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.

17 And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;

18 but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.

19 Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord,

20 and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,

21 whom heaven indeed must receive till [the] times of [the] restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began.

22 Moses indeed said, A prophet shall [the] Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.

23 And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.

24 And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after [him], as many as have spoken, have announced also these days.

25 *Ye* are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God appointed to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

26 To you first God, having raised up his servant, has sent him, blessing you in turning each one [of you] from your wickedness.

Pinagaling ang Isang Lumpo

Minsan, nagpunta sina Pedro at Juan sa Templo; alas tres ng hapon noon, ang oras ng pananalangin. Sa pintuan ng Templo na tinatawag na Pintuang Maganda ay may isang lalaking lumpo mula pa nang ito'y isilang. Dinadala ito sa Templo araw-araw upang mamalimos sa mga taong pumapasok doon. Nang makita nito sina Pedro at Juan na papasók sa Templo, siya'y humingi ng limos. Tinitigan siya ng dalawa, at sinabi ni Pedro sa kanya, “Tingnan mo kami!” Tumingin nga siya sa kanila sa pag-asang siya'y lilimusan. Ngunit sinabi ni Pedro, “Wala akong pilak o ginto, ngunit kung ano ang mayroon ako ay siya kong ibibigay sa iyo. Sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristong taga-Nazaret, tumayo ka at lumakad.” Hinawakan niya sa kanang kamay ang lumpo at itinayo. Noon di'y lumakas ang mga paa at bukung-bukong ng lalaki; palukso itong tumayo at nagsimulang lumakad. Pumasok siya sa Templo kasama nila, naglalakad, lumulundag at nagpupuri sa Diyos. Nakita ng lahat na siya'y naglalakad at nagpupuri sa Diyos. 10 Nang makilala nilang siya ang pulubing dati'y nakaupong namamalimos sa Pintuang Maganda ng Templo, namangha sila at nagtaka sa nangyari sa kanya.

Nangaral si Pedro sa Portiko ni Solomon

11 Habang nakahawak siya kina Pedro at Juan sa lugar na tinatawag na Portiko ni Solomon, patakbong lumapit sa kanila ang mga taong takang-taka sa nangyari. 12 Nangmakita ni Pedro ang mga tao, sinabi niya, “Mga Israelita, bakit kayo nagtataka sa nangyaring ito? Bakit ninyo kami tinititigan? Akala ba ninyo'y napalakad namin siya dahil sa sarili naming kapangyarihan o kabanalan? 13 Niluwalhati (A) ng Diyos ng ating mga ninunong sina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob ang kanyang Lingkod na si Jesus na isinakdal ninyo at itinakwil sa harap ni Pilato, gayong ipinasya na nito na palayain siya. 14 Itinakwil(B) ninyo ang Banal at Matuwid, at hiniling na palayain ang isang mamamatay-tao. 15 Pinatay ninyo ang Pinagmumulan ng buhay, ngunit siya'y muling binuhay ng Diyos, at saksi kami sa pangyayaring ito. 16 Ang kapangyarihan ng pangalan ni Jesus ang nagpagaling sa lalaking ito; nangyari ito dahil sa pananalig sa kanyang pangalan. Ang pananalig kay Jesus ang lubusang nagpagaling sa kanya, tulad ng inyong nakikita.

17 “Mga kapatid, alam kong hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang inyong ginawa, gayundin ng inyong mga pinuno. 18 Sa ganitong paraan ay natupad ang matagal nang ipinahayag ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta na ang kanyang Cristo ay kailangang magdusa. 19 Kaya nga, magsisi kayo at magbalik-loob sa Diyos upang patawarin ang inyong mga kasalanan, 20 at nang sa gayon ay sumapit ang panahon ng pagpapanibagong lakas mula sa Panginoon. Susuguin niya si Jesus, ang Cristong hinirang mula pa noong una para sa inyo. 21 Siya'y dapat munang manatili sa langit hanggang sa dumating ang pagbabago ng lahat ng bagay, ayon sa ipinahayag ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga banal na propeta mula pa noong una. 22 Sapagkat(C) sinabi ni Moises, ‘Mula sa inyo, ang Panginoon ninyong Diyos[a] ay pipili para sa inyo ng isang propetang katulad ko. Sundin ninyo ang lahat ng kanyang sasabihin sa inyo. 23 Ang(D) sinumang hindi sumunod sa propetang iyon ay ihihiwalay sa bayan ng Diyos at lilipulin.’ 24 Ang lahat ng mga propeta, kasama si Samuel at ang mga kasunod niya, ay nagpahayag din tungkol sa panahong ito. 25 Ang(E) mga pangako ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta ay para sa inyo, at kasama kayo sa kasunduan na ginawa ng Diyos at ng inyong mga ninuno[b] nang kanyang sabihin kay Abraham, ‘Pagpapalain ko ang lahat ng angkan sa daigdig sa pamamagitan ng iyong lahi.’ 26 Kaya't matapos buhayin ng Diyos ang kanyang Lingkod, sa inyo siya unang isinugo upang pagpalain kayo at tulungang tumalikod sa inyong masamang pamumuhay.”

Peter Heals a Lame Beggar

One day Peter and John(A) were going up to the temple(B) at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon.(C) Now a man who was lame from birth(D) was being carried to the temple gate(E) called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg(F) from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,(G) walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping,(H) and praising God. When all the people(I) saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful,(J) and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Peter Speaks to the Onlookers

11 While the man held on to Peter and John,(K) all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade.(L) 12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,(M) the God of our fathers,(N) has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over(O) to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate,(P) though he had decided to let him go.(Q) 14 You disowned the Holy(R) and Righteous One(S) and asked that a murderer be released to you.(T) 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead.(U) We are witnesses(V) of this. 16 By faith in the name of Jesus,(W) this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

17 “Now, fellow Israelites,(X) I know that you acted in ignorance,(Y) as did your leaders.(Z) 18 But this is how God fulfilled(AA) what he had foretold(AB) through all the prophets,(AC) saying that his Messiah would suffer.(AD) 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,(AE) that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 20 and that he may send the Messiah,(AF) who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 21 Heaven must receive him(AG) until the time comes for God to restore everything,(AH) as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.(AI) 22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.(AJ) 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’[a](AK)

24 “Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets(AL) who have spoken have foretold these days. 25 And you are heirs(AM) of the prophets and of the covenant(AN) God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’[b](AO) 26 When God raised up(AP) his servant, he sent him first(AQ) to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
