11 那乞丐緊緊拉著彼得和約翰的手走到所羅門廊,眾人都跑過來,嘖嘖稱奇。

彼得傳揚基督

12 彼得看見這情形,就對大家說:「以色列人啊,何必驚奇呢?為什麼一直盯著我們呢?你們以為我們是憑自己的能力和虔誠叫這人行走嗎? 13 亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的上帝,就是我們祖先的上帝,已經使祂的僕人耶穌得了榮耀。你們把耶穌交給彼拉多,儘管彼拉多想釋放祂,你們卻在彼拉多面前棄絕祂! 14 你們棄絕了那聖潔公義者,竟然要求彼拉多釋放一個兇手。 15 你們殺了生命之主,上帝卻使祂從死裡復活了。我們都是這事的見證人。 16 你們認識的這個乞丐因為相信耶穌的名,得到了醫治。你們都看見了,他能痊癒是因為他信耶穌。
