Actes 3

3 Pierre et Jean montaient ensemble au temple, à l'heure de la prière: c'était la neuvième heure.
2 Il y avait un homme boiteux de naissance, qu'on portait et qu'on plaçait tous les jours à la porte du temple appelée la Belle, pour qu'il demandât l'aumône à ceux qui entraient dans le temple.
3 Cet homme, voyant Pierre et Jean qui allaient y entrer, leur demanda l'aumône.
4 Pierre, de même que Jean, fixa les yeux sur lui, et dit: Regarde-nous.
5 Et il les regardait attentivement, s'attendant à recevoir d'eux quelque chose.
6 Alors Pierre lui dit: Je n'ai ni argent, ni or; mais ce que j'ai, je te le donne: au nom de Jésus Christ de Nazareth, lève-toi et marche.
7 Et le prenant par la main droite, il le fit lever. Au même instant, ses pieds et ses chevilles devinrent fermes;
8 d'un saut il fut debout, et il se mit à marcher. Il entra avec eux dans le temple, marchant, sautant, et louant Dieu.
9 Tout le monde le vit marchant et louant Dieu.
10 Ils reconnaissaient que c'était celui qui était assis à la Belle porte du temple pour demander l'aumône, et ils furent remplis d'étonnement et de surprise au sujet de ce qui lui était arrivé.
11 Comme il ne quittait pas Pierre et Jean, tout le peuple étonné accourut vers eux, au portique dit de Salomon.
12 Pierre, voyant cela, dit au peuple: Hommes Israélites, pourquoi vous étonnez-vous de cela? Pourquoi avez-vous les regards fixés sur nous, comme si c'était par notre propre puissance ou par notre piété que nous eussions fait marcher cet homme?
13 Le Dieu d'Abraham, d'Isaac et de Jacob, le Dieu de nos pères, a glorifié son serviteur Jésus, que vous avez livré et renié devant Pilate, qui était d'avis qu'on le relâchât.
14 Vous avez renié le Saint et le Juste, et vous avez demandé qu'on vous accordât la grâce d'un meurtrier.
15 Vous avez fait mourir le Prince de la vie, que Dieu a ressuscité des morts; nous en sommes témoins.
16 C'est par la foi en son nom que son nom a raffermi celui que vous voyez et connaissez; c'est la foi en lui qui a donné à cet homme cette entière guérison, en présence de vous tous.
17 Et maintenant, frères, je sais que vous avez agi par ignorance, ainsi que vos chefs.
18 Mais Dieu a accompli de la sorte ce qu'il avait annoncé d'avance par la bouche de tous ses prophètes, que son Christ devait souffrir.
19 Repentez-vous donc et convertissez-vous, pour que vos péchés soient effacés,
20 afin que des temps de rafraîchissement viennent de la part du Seigneur, et qu'il envoie celui qui vous a été destiné, Jésus Christ,
21 que le ciel doit recevoir jusqu'aux temps du rétablissement de toutes choses, dont Dieu a parlé anciennement par la bouche de ses saints prophètes.
22 Moïse a dit: Le Seigneur votre Dieu vous suscitera d'entre vos frères un prophète comme moi; vous l'écouterez dans tout ce qu'il vous dira,
23 et quiconque n'écoutera pas ce prophète sera exterminé du milieu du peuple.
24 Tous les prophètes qui ont successivement parlé, depuis Samuel, ont aussi annoncé ces jours-là.
25 Vous êtes les fils des prophètes et de l'alliance que Dieu a traitée avec nos pères, en disant à Abraham: Toutes les familles de la terre seront bénies en ta postérité.
26 C'est à vous premièrement que Dieu, ayant suscité son serviteur, l'a envoyé pour vous bénir, en détournant chacun de vous de ses iniquités.

Peter Heals a Crippled Beggar
3 Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. 2 As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money.
4 Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. 6 But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,[a] get up and[b] walk!”
7 Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. 8 He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.
9 All the people saw him walking and heard him praising God. 10 When they realized he was the lame beggar they had seen so often at the Beautiful Gate, they were absolutely astounded! 11 They all rushed out in amazement to Solomon’s Colonnade, where the man was holding tightly to Peter and John.
Peter Preaches in the Temple
12 Peter saw his opportunity and addressed the crowd. “People of Israel,” he said, “what is so surprising about this? And why stare at us as though we had made this man walk by our own power or godliness? 13 For it is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of all our ancestors—who has brought glory to his servant Jesus by doing this. This is the same Jesus whom you handed over and rejected before Pilate, despite Pilate’s decision to release him. 14 You rejected this holy, righteous one and instead demanded the release of a murderer. 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. And we are witnesses of this fact!
16 “Through faith in the name of Jesus, this man was healed—and you know how crippled he was before. Faith in Jesus’ name has healed him before your very eyes.
17 “Friends,[c] I realize that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was done in ignorance. 18 But God was fulfilling what all the prophets had foretold about the Messiah—that he must suffer these things. 19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. 20 Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. 21 For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.’[d] 23 Then Moses said, ‘Anyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be completely cut off from God’s people.’[e]
24 “Starting with Samuel, every prophet spoke about what is happening today. 25 You are the children of those prophets, and you are included in the covenant God promised to your ancestors. For God said to Abraham, ‘Through your descendants[f] all the families on earth will be blessed.’ 26 When God raised up his servant, Jesus, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways.”

Peter Heals a Lame Beggar
3 One day Peter and John(A) were going up to the temple(B) at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon.(C) 2 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. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
6 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.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8 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. 9 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.”
