Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

And he leaping up 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 knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

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。”
