A cura de um coxo

3 Certo dia de tarde, Pedro e João estavam indo ao Templo para a oração das três horas. 2 Estava ali um homem que tinha nascido coxo. Todos os dias ele era levado para um dos portões do Templo, chamado “Portão Formoso”, a fim de pedir esmolas às pessoas que entravam no pátio do Templo. 3 Quando o coxo viu Pedro e João entrando, pediu uma esmola. 4 Eles olharam firmemente para ele, e Pedro disse:

— Olhe para nós!

5 O homem olhou para eles, esperando receber alguma coisa. 6 Então Pedro disse:

— Não tenho nenhum dinheiro, mas o que tenho eu lhe dou: pelo poder do nome de Jesus Cristo, de Nazaré, levante-se e ande.

7 Em seguida Pedro pegou a mão direita do homem e o ajudou a se levantar. No mesmo instante os pés e os tornozelos dele ficaram firmes. 8 Então ele deu um pulo, ficou de pé e começou a andar. Depois entrou no pátio do Templo com eles, andando, pulando e agradecendo a Deus. 9 Toda a multidão viu o homem pulando e louvando a Deus. 10 Quando perceberam que aquele era o mendigo que ficava sentado perto do Portão Formoso do Templo, ficaram admirados e espantados com o que havia acontecido.

A mensagem de Pedro no Templo

11 O homem que havia sido curado acompanhou Pedro e João. Todas as pessoas estavam admiradas e correram para a parte do pátio do Templo chamada “Alpendre de Salomão”, onde eles estavam. 12 Quando Pedro viu isso, disse ao povo:

— Israelitas, por que vocês estão admirados? Por que estão olhando firmemente para nós como se tivéssemos feito este homem andar por causa do nosso próprio poder ou por causa da nossa dedicação a Deus? 13 O Deus dos nossos antepassados, o Deus de Abraão, o Deus de Isaque e o Deus de Jacó, foi quem deu glória ao seu Servo Jesus. Mas vocês o entregaram às autoridades e o rejeitaram diante de Pilatos; e, quando ele resolveu soltá-lo, vocês não quiseram. 14 Jesus era bom e dedicado a Deus, mas vocês o rejeitaram. Em vez de pedirem a liberdade para ele, pediram que Pilatos soltasse um criminoso. 15 Assim vocês mataram o Autor da vida; mas Deus o ressuscitou, e nós somos testemunhas disso. 16 Foi o poder do nome de Jesus que deu forças a este homem. O que vocês estão vendo e sabendo foi feito pela fé no seu nome, pois foi a fé em Jesus que curou este homem em frente de todos vocês.

17 — Agora, meus irmãos, eu sei que o que vocês e os seus líderes fizeram com Jesus foi sem saber o que estavam fazendo. 18 Mas Deus cumpriu assim o que havia anunciado há muito tempo pelos profetas, isto é, que o Messias, que ele escolheu, tinha de sofrer. 19 Portanto, arrependam-se e voltem para Deus, a fim de que ele perdoe os pecados de vocês. 20 E também para que tempos de nova força espiritual venham do Senhor, e ele mande Jesus, que ele já tinha escolhido para ser o Messias de vocês. 21 Jesus precisa ficar no céu até chegar o tempo em que todas as coisas serão renovadas, como Deus anunciou há muito tempo pelos seus fiéis mensageiros, os profetas. 22 Pois Moisés disse: “Do meio de vocês o Senhor Deus escolherá e enviará para vocês um profeta, assim como ele me enviou. Obedeçam a tudo o que ele lhes disser. 23 Aquele que não obedecer será separado do povo de Deus e destruído.” 24 Samuel e todos os profetas que vieram depois dele falaram a respeito destes dias. 25 As promessas que Deus fez por meio dos seus profetas são para vocês. E vocês fazem parte da aliança que Deus fez com os seus antepassados, quando disse para Abraão: “Por meio dos seus descendentes, eu abençoarei todas as nações do mundo.”

26 — Assim Deus escolheu o seu Servo e o mandou primeiro a vocês, para abençoá-los, e para que cada um de vocês abandone os seus pecados.

使徒行传 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

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。”

Acts 3
New English Translation

Peter and John Heal a Lame Man at the Temple

3 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time[a] for prayer,[b] at three o’clock in the afternoon.[c] 2 And a man lame[d] from birth[e] was being carried up, who was placed at the temple gate called “the Beautiful Gate” every day[f] so he could beg for money[g] from those going into the temple courts.[h] 3 When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple courts,[i] he asked them for money.[j] 4 Peter looked directly[k] at him (as did John) and said, “Look at us!” 5 So the lame man[l] paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold,[m] but what I do have I give you. In the name[n] of Jesus Christ[o] the Nazarene, stand up and[p] walk!” 7 Then[q] Peter[r] took hold[s] of him by the right hand and raised him up, and at once the man’s[t] feet and ankles were made strong.[u] 8 He[v] jumped up,[w] stood and began walking around, and he entered the temple courts[x] with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 All[y] the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 and they recognized him as the man who used to sit and ask for donations[z] at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with astonishment and amazement[aa] at what had happened to him.

Peter Addresses the Crowd

11 While the man[ab] was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway[ac] called Solomon’s Portico.[ad] 12 When Peter saw this, he declared to the people, “Men of Israel,[ae] why are you amazed at this? Why[af] do you stare at us as if we had made this man[ag] walk by our own power or piety? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,[ah] the God of our forefathers,[ai] has glorified[aj] his servant[ak] Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected[al] in the presence of Pilate after he had decided[am] to release him. 14 But you rejected[an] the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed[ao] the Originator[ap] of life, whom God raised[aq] from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses![ar] 16 And on the basis of faith in Jesus’[as] name,[at] his very name has made this man—whom you see and know—strong. The[au] faith that is through Jesus[av] has given him this complete health in the presence[aw] of you all. 17 And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance,[ax] as your rulers did too. 18 But the things God foretold[ay] long ago through[az] all the prophets—that his Christ[ba] would suffer—he has fulfilled in this way. 19 Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out, 20 so that times of refreshing[bb] may come from the presence of the Lord,[bc] and so that he may send the Messiah[bd] appointed[be] for you—that is, Jesus. 21 This one[bf] heaven must[bg] receive until the time all things are restored,[bh] which God declared[bi] from times long ago[bj] through his holy prophets. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must obey[bk] him in everything he tells you.[bl] 23 Every person[bm] who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removed[bn] from the people.’[bo] 24 And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced[bp] these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors,[bq] saying to Abraham, ‘And in your descendants[br] all the nations[bs] of the earth will be blessed.’[bt] 26 God raised up[bu] his servant and sent him first to you, to bless you by turning[bv] each one of you from your iniquities.”[bw]

Footnotes

  1. Acts 3:1 tn Grk “hour.”
  2. Acts 3:1 sn Going up to the temple at the time for prayer. The earliest Christians, being of Jewish roots, were still participating in the institutions of Judaism at this point. Their faith in Christ did not make them non-Jewish in their practices.
  3. Acts 3:1 tn Grk “at the ninth hour.” This is calculated from sunrise (Josephus, Ant. 14.4.3 [14.65]; Dan 9:21).
  4. Acts 3:2 tn Or “crippled.”
  5. Acts 3:2 tn Grk “from his mother’s womb.”
  6. Acts 3:2 tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.
  7. Acts 3:2 tn Grk “alms.” The term “alms” is not in common use today, so what the man expected, “money,” is used in the translation instead. The idea is that of money given as a gift to someone who was poor. Giving alms was viewed as honorable in Judaism (Tob 1:3, 16; 12:8-9; m. Pe’ah 1:1). See also Luke 11:41; 12:33; Acts 9:36; 10:2, 4, 31; 24:17.
  8. Acts 3:2 tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.sn Into the temple courts. The exact location of this incident is debated. The ‘Beautiful Gate’ referred either to the Nicanor Gate (which led from the Court of the Gentiles into the Court of Women) or the Shushan Gate at the eastern wall.
  9. Acts 3:3 tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.sn See the note on the phrase the temple courts in the previous verse.
  10. Acts 3:3 tn Grk “alms.” See the note on the word “money” in the previous verse.
  11. Acts 3:4 tn Grk “Peter, looking directly at him, as did John, said.” The participle ἀτενίσας (atenisas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
  12. Acts 3:5 tn Grk “So he”; the referent (the lame man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  13. Acts 3:6 tn Or “I have no money.” L&N 6.69 classifies the expression ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον (argurion kai chrusion) as an idiom that is a generic expression for currency, thus “money.”
  14. Acts 3:6 sn In the name. Note the authority in the name of Jesus the Messiah. His presence and power are at work for the man. The reference to “the name” is not like a magical incantation, but is designed to indicate the agent who performs the healing. The theme is quite frequent in Acts (2:38 plus 21 other times).
  15. Acts 3:6 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
  16. Acts 3:6 tc The words “stand up and” (ἔγειρε καί, egeire kai) are not in a few mss (א B D sa), but are included in A C E Ψ 095 33 1739 M lat sy mae bo. The external testimony is thus fairly evenly divided, with few but signficant representatives of the Alexandrian and Western textual clusters supporting the shorter reading. Internally, the words look like a standard scribal emendation, and may have been motivated by other healing passages where Jesus gave a similar double command (cf. Matt 9:5; Mark 2:9, [11]; Luke 5:23; [6:8]; John 5:8). On the other hand, there is some motivation for deleting ἔγειρε καί here, namely, unlike Jesus’ healing miracles, Peter raises (ἤγειρεν, ēgeiren) the man to his feet (v. 7) rather than the man rising on his own. In light of the scribal tendency to harmonize, especially in immediate context, the longer reading is slightly preferred.
  17. Acts 3:7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then” to reflect the sequence of events.
  18. Acts 3:7 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  19. Acts 3:7 tn Grk “Peter taking hold of him…raised him up.” The participle πιάσας (piasas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
  20. Acts 3:7 tn Grk “his”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  21. Acts 3:7 sn At once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong. Note that despite the past lameness, the man is immediately able to walk. The restoration of his ability to walk pictures the presence of a renewed walk, a fresh start at life; this was far more than money would have given him.
  22. Acts 3:8 tn Grk “And he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.
  23. Acts 3:8 tn Grk “Jumping up, he stood.” The participle ἐξαλλόμενος (exallomenos) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. It is possible that the paralyzed man actually jumped off the ground, but more probably this term simply refers to the speed with which he stood up. See L&N 15.240.
  24. Acts 3:8 tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.
  25. Acts 3:9 tn Grk “And all.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
  26. Acts 3:10 tn Grk “alms,” but this term is not in common use today, so the closest modern equivalent, “donations,” is used instead. The idea is that of a donation to charity.
  27. Acts 3:10 sn Amazement is a frequent response to miracles of Jesus or the apostles. These took the ancients by as much surprise as they would people today. But in terms of response to what God is doing, amazement does not equal faith (Luke 4:36; 5:9, 26; 7:16).
  28. Acts 3:11 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  29. Acts 3:11 tn Or “portico,” “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.” The translation “covered walkway” (a descriptive translation) was used here because the architectural term “portico” or “colonnade” is less familiar. However, the more technical term “portico” was retained in the actual name that follows.
  30. Acts 3:11 sn Solomon’s Portico was a covered walkway formed by rows of columns supporting a roof and open on the inner side facing the center of the temple complex. It was located on the east side of the temple (Josephus, Ant. 15.11.3-5 [15.391-420], 20.9.7 [20.221]) and was a place of commerce and conversation.
  31. Acts 3:12 tn Or perhaps “People of Israel,” since this was taking place in Solomon’s Portico and women may have been present. The Greek ἄνδρες ᾿Ισραηλῖται (andres Israēlitai) used in the plural would normally mean “men, gentlemen” (BDAG 79 s.v. ἀνήρ 1.a).
  32. Acts 3:12 tn Grk “or why.”
  33. Acts 3:12 tn Grk “him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  34. Acts 3:13 tc ‡ The repetition of ὁ θεός (ho theos, “God”) before the names of Isaac and Jacob is found in P74 א C (A D without article) 36 104 1175 lat. The omission of the second and third ὁ θεός is supported by B E Ψ 33 1739 M. The other time that Exod 3:6 is quoted in Acts (7:32) the best witnesses also lack the repeated ὁ θεός, but the three other times this OT passage is quoted in the NT the full form, with the thrice-mentioned θεός, is used (Matt 22:32; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Scribes would be prone to conform the wording here to the LXX; the longer reading is thus most likely not authentic. NA28 has the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.
  35. Acts 3:13 tn Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”sn The reference to the God of the patriarchs is a reminder that God is the God of the nation and of promises. The phrase God of our forefathers is from the Hebrew scriptures (Exod 3:6, 15-16; 4:5; see also the Jewish prayer known as “The Eighteen Benedictions”). Once again, event has led to explanation, or what is called the “sign and speech” pattern.
  36. Acts 3:13 sn Has glorified. Jesus is alive, raised and active, as the healing illustrates so dramatically how God honors him.
  37. Acts 3:13 sn His servant. The term servant has messianic connotations given the context of the promise, the note of suffering, and the titles and functions noted in vv. 14-15.
  38. Acts 3:13 tn Or “denied,” “disowned.”
  39. Acts 3:13 tn This genitive absolute construction could be understood as temporal (“when he had decided”) or concessive (“although he had decided”).
  40. Acts 3:14 tn Or “denied,” “disowned.”
  41. Acts 3:15 tn Or “You put to death.”
  42. Acts 3:15 tn Or “Founder,” “founding Leader.”
  43. Acts 3:15 sn Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him.
  44. Acts 3:15 tn Grk “whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” The two consecutive relative clauses make for awkward English style, so the second was begun as a new sentence with the words “to this fact” supplied in place of the Greek relative pronoun to make a complete sentence in English.sn We are witnesses. Note the two witnesses here, Peter and John (Acts 5:32; Heb 2:3-4).
  45. Acts 3:16 tn Grk “in his name”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  46. Acts 3:16 sn Here is another example of appeal to the person by mentioning the name. See the note on the word name in 3:6.
  47. Acts 3:16 tn Grk “see and know, and the faith.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation and καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated.
  48. Acts 3:16 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.sn The faith that is through Jesus. Note how this verse explains how the claim to “faith in Jesus’ name” works and what it means. To appeal to the name is to point to the person. It is not clear that the man expressed faith before the miracle. This could well be a “grace-faith miracle” where God grants power through the apostles to picture how much a gift life is (Luke 17:11-19). Christology and grace are emphasized here.
  49. Acts 3:16 tn Or “in full view.”
  50. Acts 3:17 sn The ignorance Peter mentions here does not excuse them from culpability. It was simply a way to say “you did not realize the great mistake you made.”
  51. Acts 3:18 sn God foretold. Peter’s topic is the working out of God’s plan and promise through events the scriptures also note.
  52. Acts 3:18 tn Grk “by the mouth of” (an idiom).
  53. Acts 3:18 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”sn See the note on Christ in 2:31.
  54. Acts 3:20 tn Or “relief.”sn Times of refreshing. The phrase implies relief from difficult, distressful or burdensome circumstances. It is generally regarded as a reference to the messianic age being ushered in.
  55. Acts 3:20 tn The words “so that…Lord” are traditionally placed in v. 19 by most English translations, but in the present translation the verse division follows the standard critical editions of the Greek text (NA28, UBS5).
  56. Acts 3:20 tn Or “the Christ”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”sn He may send the Messiah appointed for you—that is, Jesus. The language points to the expectation of Jesus’ return to gather his people. It is a development of the question raised in Acts 1:6.
  57. Acts 3:20 tn Or “designated in advance.”
  58. Acts 3:21 tn Grk “whom,” continuing the sentence from v. 20.
  59. Acts 3:21 sn The term must used here (δεῖ, dei, “it is necessary”) is a key Lukan term to point to the plan of God and what must occur.
  60. Acts 3:21 tn Grk “until the times of the restoration of all things.” Because of the awkward English style of the extended genitive construction, and because the following relative clause has as its referent the “time of restoration” rather than “all things,” the phrase was translated “until the time all things are restored.”sn The time all things are restored. What that restoration involves is already recorded in the scriptures of the nation of Israel.
  61. Acts 3:21 tn Or “spoke.”
  62. Acts 3:21 tn Or “from all ages past.”sn From times long ago. Once again, God’s plan is emphasized.
  63. Acts 3:22 tn Grk “hear,” but the idea of “hear and obey” or simply “obey” is frequently contained in the Greek verb ἀκούω (akouō; see L&N 36.14) and the following context (v. 23) makes it clear that failure to “obey” the words of this “prophet like Moses” will result in complete destruction.
  64. Acts 3:22 sn A quotation from Deut 18:15. By quoting Deut 18:15 Peter declared that Jesus was the eschatological “prophet like [Moses]” mentioned in that passage, who reveals the plan of God and the way of God.
  65. Acts 3:23 tn Grk “every soul” (here “soul” is an idiom for the whole person).
  66. Acts 3:23 tn Or “will be completely destroyed.” In Acts 3:23 the verb ἐξολεθρεύω (exolethreuō) is translated “destroy and remove” by L&N 20.35.
  67. Acts 3:23 sn A quotation from Deut 18:19, also Lev 23:29. The OT context of Lev 23:29 discusses what happened when one failed to honor atonement. One ignored the required sacrifice of God at one’s peril.
  68. Acts 3:24 tn Or “proclaimed.”sn All the prophets…have spoken about and announced. What Peter preaches is rooted in basic biblical and Jewish hope as expressed in the OT scriptures.
  69. Acts 3:25 tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”
  70. Acts 3:25 tn Or “in your offspring”; Grk “in your seed.”sn In your descendants (Grk “in your seed”). Seed has an important ambiguity in this verse. The blessing comes from the servant (v. 26), who in turn blesses the responsive children of the covenant as the scripture promised. Jesus is the seed who blesses the seed.
  71. Acts 3:25 tn Or “families.” The Greek word πατριά (patria) can indicate persons of succeeding generations who are related by birth (“lineage,” “family”) but it can also indicate a relatively large unit of people who make up a sociopolitical group and who share a presumed biological descent. In many contexts πατριά is very similar to ἔθνος (ethnos) and λαός (laos). In light of the context of the OT quotation, it is better to translate πατριά as “nations” here.
  72. Acts 3:25 sn A quotation from Gen 22:18.
  73. Acts 3:26 tn Grk “God raising up his servant, sent him.” The participle ἀναστήσας (anastēsas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Some translations (e.g., NIV, NRSV) render this participle as temporal (“when God raised up his servant”).
  74. Acts 3:26 sn The picture of turning is again seen as the appropriate response to the message. See v. 19 above. In v. 19 it was “turning to,” here it is “turning away from.” The direction of the two metaphors is important.
  75. Acts 3:26 tn For the translation of plural πονηρία (ponēria) as “iniquities,” see G. Harder, TDNT 6:565. The plural is important, since for Luke turning to Jesus means turning away from sins, not just the sin of rejecting Jesus.

A cura de um coxo

3 Certo dia de tarde, Pedro e João estavam indo ao Templo para a oração das três horas. 2 Estava ali um homem que tinha nascido coxo. Todos os dias ele era levado para um dos portões do Templo, chamado “Portão Formoso”, a fim de pedir esmolas às pessoas que entravam no pátio do Templo. 3 Quando o coxo viu Pedro e João entrando, pediu uma esmola. 4 Eles olharam firmemente para ele, e Pedro disse:

— Olhe para nós!

5 O homem olhou para eles, esperando receber alguma coisa. 6 Então Pedro disse:

— Não tenho nenhum dinheiro, mas o que tenho eu lhe dou: pelo poder do nome de Jesus Cristo, de Nazaré, levante-se e ande.

7 Em seguida Pedro pegou a mão direita do homem e o ajudou a se levantar. No mesmo instante os pés e os tornozelos dele ficaram firmes. 8 Então ele deu um pulo, ficou de pé e começou a andar. Depois entrou no pátio do Templo com eles, andando, pulando e agradecendo a Deus. 9 Toda a multidão viu o homem pulando e louvando a Deus. 10 Quando perceberam que aquele era o mendigo que ficava sentado perto do Portão Formoso do Templo, ficaram admirados e espantados com o que havia acontecido.

A mensagem de Pedro no Templo

11 O homem que havia sido curado acompanhou Pedro e João. Todas as pessoas estavam admiradas e correram para a parte do pátio do Templo chamada “Alpendre de Salomão”, onde eles estavam. 12 Quando Pedro viu isso, disse ao povo:

— Israelitas, por que vocês estão admirados? Por que estão olhando firmemente para nós como se tivéssemos feito este homem andar por causa do nosso próprio poder ou por causa da nossa dedicação a Deus? 13 O Deus dos nossos antepassados, o Deus de Abraão, o Deus de Isaque e o Deus de Jacó, foi quem deu glória ao seu Servo Jesus. Mas vocês o entregaram às autoridades e o rejeitaram diante de Pilatos; e, quando ele resolveu soltá-lo, vocês não quiseram. 14 Jesus era bom e dedicado a Deus, mas vocês o rejeitaram. Em vez de pedirem a liberdade para ele, pediram que Pilatos soltasse um criminoso. 15 Assim vocês mataram o Autor da vida; mas Deus o ressuscitou, e nós somos testemunhas disso. 16 Foi o poder do nome de Jesus que deu forças a este homem. O que vocês estão vendo e sabendo foi feito pela fé no seu nome, pois foi a fé em Jesus que curou este homem em frente de todos vocês.

17 — Agora, meus irmãos, eu sei que o que vocês e os seus líderes fizeram com Jesus foi sem saber o que estavam fazendo. 18 Mas Deus cumpriu assim o que havia anunciado há muito tempo pelos profetas, isto é, que o Messias, que ele escolheu, tinha de sofrer. 19 Portanto, arrependam-se e voltem para Deus, a fim de que ele perdoe os pecados de vocês. 20 E também para que tempos de nova força espiritual venham do Senhor, e ele mande Jesus, que ele já tinha escolhido para ser o Messias de vocês. 21 Jesus precisa ficar no céu até chegar o tempo em que todas as coisas serão renovadas, como Deus anunciou há muito tempo pelos seus fiéis mensageiros, os profetas. 22 Pois Moisés disse: “Do meio de vocês o Senhor Deus escolherá e enviará para vocês um profeta, assim como ele me enviou. Obedeçam a tudo o que ele lhes disser. 23 Aquele que não obedecer será separado do povo de Deus e destruído.” 24 Samuel e todos os profetas que vieram depois dele falaram a respeito destes dias. 25 As promessas que Deus fez por meio dos seus profetas são para vocês. E vocês fazem parte da aliança que Deus fez com os seus antepassados, quando disse para Abraão: “Por meio dos seus descendentes, eu abençoarei todas as nações do mundo.”

26 — Assim Deus escolheu o seu Servo e o mandou primeiro a vocês, para abençoá-los, e para que cada um de vocês abandone os seus pecados.

使徒行传 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

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。”

Acts 3
New English Translation

Peter and John Heal a Lame Man at the Temple

3 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time[a] for prayer,[b] at three o’clock in the afternoon.[c] 2 And a man lame[d] from birth[e] was being carried up, who was placed at the temple gate called “the Beautiful Gate” every day[f] so he could beg for money[g] from those going into the temple courts.[h] 3 When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple courts,[i] he asked them for money.[j] 4 Peter looked directly[k] at him (as did John) and said, “Look at us!” 5 So the lame man[l] paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold,[m] but what I do have I give you. In the name[n] of Jesus Christ[o] the Nazarene, stand up and[p] walk!” 7 Then[q] Peter[r] took hold[s] of him by the right hand and raised him up, and at once the man’s[t] feet and ankles were made strong.[u] 8 He[v] jumped up,[w] stood and began walking around, and he entered the temple courts[x] with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 All[y] the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 and they recognized him as the man who used to sit and ask for donations[z] at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with astonishment and amazement[aa] at what had happened to him.

Peter Addresses the Crowd

11 While the man[ab] was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway[ac] called Solomon’s Portico.[ad] 12 When Peter saw this, he declared to the people, “Men of Israel,[ae] why are you amazed at this? Why[af] do you stare at us as if we had made this man[ag] walk by our own power or piety? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,[ah] the God of our forefathers,[ai] has glorified[aj] his servant[ak] Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected[al] in the presence of Pilate after he had decided[am] to release him. 14 But you rejected[an] the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed[ao] the Originator[ap] of life, whom God raised[aq] from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses![ar] 16 And on the basis of faith in Jesus’[as] name,[at] his very name has made this man—whom you see and know—strong. The[au] faith that is through Jesus[av] has given him this complete health in the presence[aw] of you all. 17 And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance,[ax] as your rulers did too. 18 But the things God foretold[ay] long ago through[az] all the prophets—that his Christ[ba] would suffer—he has fulfilled in this way. 19 Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out, 20 so that times of refreshing[bb] may come from the presence of the Lord,[bc] and so that he may send the Messiah[bd] appointed[be] for you—that is, Jesus. 21 This one[bf] heaven must[bg] receive until the time all things are restored,[bh] which God declared[bi] from times long ago[bj] through his holy prophets. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must obey[bk] him in everything he tells you.[bl] 23 Every person[bm] who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removed[bn] from the people.’[bo] 24 And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced[bp] these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors,[bq] saying to Abraham, ‘And in your descendants[br] all the nations[bs] of the earth will be blessed.’[bt] 26 God raised up[bu] his servant and sent him first to you, to bless you by turning[bv] each one of you from your iniquities.”[bw]

Footnotes

  1. Acts 3:1 tn Grk “hour.”
  2. Acts 3:1 sn Going up to the temple at the time for prayer. The earliest Christians, being of Jewish roots, were still participating in the institutions of Judaism at this point. Their faith in Christ did not make them non-Jewish in their practices.
  3. Acts 3:1 tn Grk “at the ninth hour.” This is calculated from sunrise (Josephus, Ant. 14.4.3 [14.65]; Dan 9:21).
  4. Acts 3:2 tn Or “crippled.”
  5. Acts 3:2 tn Grk “from his mother’s womb.”
  6. Acts 3:2 tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.
  7. Acts 3:2 tn Grk “alms.” The term “alms” is not in common use today, so what the man expected, “money,” is used in the translation instead. The idea is that of money given as a gift to someone who was poor. Giving alms was viewed as honorable in Judaism (Tob 1:3, 16; 12:8-9; m. Pe’ah 1:1). See also Luke 11:41; 12:33; Acts 9:36; 10:2, 4, 31; 24:17.
  8. Acts 3:2 tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.sn Into the temple courts. The exact location of this incident is debated. The ‘Beautiful Gate’ referred either to the Nicanor Gate (which led from the Court of the Gentiles into the Court of Women) or the Shushan Gate at the eastern wall.
  9. Acts 3:3 tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.sn See the note on the phrase the temple courts in the previous verse.
  10. Acts 3:3 tn Grk “alms.” See the note on the word “money” in the previous verse.
  11. Acts 3:4 tn Grk “Peter, looking directly at him, as did John, said.” The participle ἀτενίσας (atenisas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
  12. Acts 3:5 tn Grk “So he”; the referent (the lame man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  13. Acts 3:6 tn Or “I have no money.” L&N 6.69 classifies the expression ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον (argurion kai chrusion) as an idiom that is a generic expression for currency, thus “money.”
  14. Acts 3:6 sn In the name. Note the authority in the name of Jesus the Messiah. His presence and power are at work for the man. The reference to “the name” is not like a magical incantation, but is designed to indicate the agent who performs the healing. The theme is quite frequent in Acts (2:38 plus 21 other times).
  15. Acts 3:6 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
  16. Acts 3:6 tc The words “stand up and” (ἔγειρε καί, egeire kai) are not in a few mss (א B D sa), but are included in A C E Ψ 095 33 1739 M lat sy mae bo. The external testimony is thus fairly evenly divided, with few but signficant representatives of the Alexandrian and Western textual clusters supporting the shorter reading. Internally, the words look like a standard scribal emendation, and may have been motivated by other healing passages where Jesus gave a similar double command (cf. Matt 9:5; Mark 2:9, [11]; Luke 5:23; [6:8]; John 5:8). On the other hand, there is some motivation for deleting ἔγειρε καί here, namely, unlike Jesus’ healing miracles, Peter raises (ἤγειρεν, ēgeiren) the man to his feet (v. 7) rather than the man rising on his own. In light of the scribal tendency to harmonize, especially in immediate context, the longer reading is slightly preferred.
  17. Acts 3:7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then” to reflect the sequence of events.
  18. Acts 3:7 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  19. Acts 3:7 tn Grk “Peter taking hold of him…raised him up.” The participle πιάσας (piasas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
  20. Acts 3:7 tn Grk “his”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  21. Acts 3:7 sn At once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong. Note that despite the past lameness, the man is immediately able to walk. The restoration of his ability to walk pictures the presence of a renewed walk, a fresh start at life; this was far more than money would have given him.
  22. Acts 3:8 tn Grk “And he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.
  23. Acts 3:8 tn Grk “Jumping up, he stood.” The participle ἐξαλλόμενος (exallomenos) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. It is possible that the paralyzed man actually jumped off the ground, but more probably this term simply refers to the speed with which he stood up. See L&N 15.240.
  24. Acts 3:8 tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.
  25. Acts 3:9 tn Grk “And all.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
  26. Acts 3:10 tn Grk “alms,” but this term is not in common use today, so the closest modern equivalent, “donations,” is used instead. The idea is that of a donation to charity.
  27. Acts 3:10 sn Amazement is a frequent response to miracles of Jesus or the apostles. These took the ancients by as much surprise as they would people today. But in terms of response to what God is doing, amazement does not equal faith (Luke 4:36; 5:9, 26; 7:16).
  28. Acts 3:11 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  29. Acts 3:11 tn Or “portico,” “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.” The translation “covered walkway” (a descriptive translation) was used here because the architectural term “portico” or “colonnade” is less familiar. However, the more technical term “portico” was retained in the actual name that follows.
  30. Acts 3:11 sn Solomon’s Portico was a covered walkway formed by rows of columns supporting a roof and open on the inner side facing the center of the temple complex. It was located on the east side of the temple (Josephus, Ant. 15.11.3-5 [15.391-420], 20.9.7 [20.221]) and was a place of commerce and conversation.
  31. Acts 3:12 tn Or perhaps “People of Israel,” since this was taking place in Solomon’s Portico and women may have been present. The Greek ἄνδρες ᾿Ισραηλῖται (andres Israēlitai) used in the plural would normally mean “men, gentlemen” (BDAG 79 s.v. ἀνήρ 1.a).
  32. Acts 3:12 tn Grk “or why.”
  33. Acts 3:12 tn Grk “him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  34. Acts 3:13 tc ‡ The repetition of ὁ θεός (ho theos, “God”) before the names of Isaac and Jacob is found in P74 א C (A D without article) 36 104 1175 lat. The omission of the second and third ὁ θεός is supported by B E Ψ 33 1739 M. The other time that Exod 3:6 is quoted in Acts (7:32) the best witnesses also lack the repeated ὁ θεός, but the three other times this OT passage is quoted in the NT the full form, with the thrice-mentioned θεός, is used (Matt 22:32; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Scribes would be prone to conform the wording here to the LXX; the longer reading is thus most likely not authentic. NA28 has the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.
  35. Acts 3:13 tn Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”sn The reference to the God of the patriarchs is a reminder that God is the God of the nation and of promises. The phrase God of our forefathers is from the Hebrew scriptures (Exod 3:6, 15-16; 4:5; see also the Jewish prayer known as “The Eighteen Benedictions”). Once again, event has led to explanation, or what is called the “sign and speech” pattern.
  36. Acts 3:13 sn Has glorified. Jesus is alive, raised and active, as the healing illustrates so dramatically how God honors him.
  37. Acts 3:13 sn His servant. The term servant has messianic connotations given the context of the promise, the note of suffering, and the titles and functions noted in vv. 14-15.
  38. Acts 3:13 tn Or “denied,” “disowned.”
  39. Acts 3:13 tn This genitive absolute construction could be understood as temporal (“when he had decided”) or concessive (“although he had decided”).
  40. Acts 3:14 tn Or “denied,” “disowned.”
  41. Acts 3:15 tn Or “You put to death.”
  42. Acts 3:15 tn Or “Founder,” “founding Leader.”
  43. Acts 3:15 sn Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him.
  44. Acts 3:15 tn Grk “whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” The two consecutive relative clauses make for awkward English style, so the second was begun as a new sentence with the words “to this fact” supplied in place of the Greek relative pronoun to make a complete sentence in English.sn We are witnesses. Note the two witnesses here, Peter and John (Acts 5:32; Heb 2:3-4).
  45. Acts 3:16 tn Grk “in his name”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  46. Acts 3:16 sn Here is another example of appeal to the person by mentioning the name. See the note on the word name in 3:6.
  47. Acts 3:16 tn Grk “see and know, and the faith.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation and καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated.
  48. Acts 3:16 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.sn The faith that is through Jesus. Note how this verse explains how the claim to “faith in Jesus’ name” works and what it means. To appeal to the name is to point to the person. It is not clear that the man expressed faith before the miracle. This could well be a “grace-faith miracle” where God grants power through the apostles to picture how much a gift life is (Luke 17:11-19). Christology and grace are emphasized here.
  49. Acts 3:16 tn Or “in full view.”
  50. Acts 3:17 sn The ignorance Peter mentions here does not excuse them from culpability. It was simply a way to say “you did not realize the great mistake you made.”
  51. Acts 3:18 sn God foretold. Peter’s topic is the working out of God’s plan and promise through events the scriptures also note.
  52. Acts 3:18 tn Grk “by the mouth of” (an idiom).
  53. Acts 3:18 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”sn See the note on Christ in 2:31.
  54. Acts 3:20 tn Or “relief.”sn Times of refreshing. The phrase implies relief from difficult, distressful or burdensome circumstances. It is generally regarded as a reference to the messianic age being ushered in.
  55. Acts 3:20 tn The words “so that…Lord” are traditionally placed in v. 19 by most English translations, but in the present translation the verse division follows the standard critical editions of the Greek text (NA28, UBS5).
  56. Acts 3:20 tn Or “the Christ”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”sn He may send the Messiah appointed for you—that is, Jesus. The language points to the expectation of Jesus’ return to gather his people. It is a development of the question raised in Acts 1:6.
  57. Acts 3:20 tn Or “designated in advance.”
  58. Acts 3:21 tn Grk “whom,” continuing the sentence from v. 20.
  59. Acts 3:21 sn The term must used here (δεῖ, dei, “it is necessary”) is a key Lukan term to point to the plan of God and what must occur.
  60. Acts 3:21 tn Grk “until the times of the restoration of all things.” Because of the awkward English style of the extended genitive construction, and because the following relative clause has as its referent the “time of restoration” rather than “all things,” the phrase was translated “until the time all things are restored.”sn The time all things are restored. What that restoration involves is already recorded in the scriptures of the nation of Israel.
  61. Acts 3:21 tn Or “spoke.”
  62. Acts 3:21 tn Or “from all ages past.”sn From times long ago. Once again, God’s plan is emphasized.
  63. Acts 3:22 tn Grk “hear,” but the idea of “hear and obey” or simply “obey” is frequently contained in the Greek verb ἀκούω (akouō; see L&N 36.14) and the following context (v. 23) makes it clear that failure to “obey” the words of this “prophet like Moses” will result in complete destruction.
  64. Acts 3:22 sn A quotation from Deut 18:15. By quoting Deut 18:15 Peter declared that Jesus was the eschatological “prophet like [Moses]” mentioned in that passage, who reveals the plan of God and the way of God.
  65. Acts 3:23 tn Grk “every soul” (here “soul” is an idiom for the whole person).
  66. Acts 3:23 tn Or “will be completely destroyed.” In Acts 3:23 the verb ἐξολεθρεύω (exolethreuō) is translated “destroy and remove” by L&N 20.35.
  67. Acts 3:23 sn A quotation from Deut 18:19, also Lev 23:29. The OT context of Lev 23:29 discusses what happened when one failed to honor atonement. One ignored the required sacrifice of God at one’s peril.
  68. Acts 3:24 tn Or “proclaimed.”sn All the prophets…have spoken about and announced. What Peter preaches is rooted in basic biblical and Jewish hope as expressed in the OT scriptures.
  69. Acts 3:25 tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”
  70. Acts 3:25 tn Or “in your offspring”; Grk “in your seed.”sn In your descendants (Grk “in your seed”). Seed has an important ambiguity in this verse. The blessing comes from the servant (v. 26), who in turn blesses the responsive children of the covenant as the scripture promised. Jesus is the seed who blesses the seed.
  71. Acts 3:25 tn Or “families.” The Greek word πατριά (patria) can indicate persons of succeeding generations who are related by birth (“lineage,” “family”) but it can also indicate a relatively large unit of people who make up a sociopolitical group and who share a presumed biological descent. In many contexts πατριά is very similar to ἔθνος (ethnos) and λαός (laos). In light of the context of the OT quotation, it is better to translate πατριά as “nations” here.
  72. Acts 3:25 sn A quotation from Gen 22:18.
  73. Acts 3:26 tn Grk “God raising up his servant, sent him.” The participle ἀναστήσας (anastēsas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Some translations (e.g., NIV, NRSV) render this participle as temporal (“when God raised up his servant”).
  74. Acts 3:26 sn The picture of turning is again seen as the appropriate response to the message. See v. 19 above. In v. 19 it was “turning to,” here it is “turning away from.” The direction of the two metaphors is important.
  75. Acts 3:26 tn For the translation of plural πονηρία (ponēria) as “iniquities,” see G. Harder, TDNT 6:565. The plural is important, since for Luke turning to Jesus means turning away from sins, not just the sin of rejecting Jesus.
