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.”

Guarigione di uno zoppo
3 (A)*Pietro e *Giovanni salivano al *tempio per la preghiera dell'*ora nona[a], 2 mentre si portava un uomo, zoppo fin dalla nascita, che ogni giorno deponevano presso la porta del tempio detta «Bella», per chiedere l'elemosina a quelli che entravano nel tempio. 3 Vedendo Pietro e Giovanni che stavano per entrare nel tempio, egli chiese loro l'elemosina. 4 Pietro, con Giovanni, fissando gli occhi su di lui, disse: «Guardaci!» 5 Ed egli li guardava attentamente, aspettando di ricevere qualcosa da loro. 6 Ma Pietro disse: «Dell'argento e dell'oro io non ne ho; ma quello che ho, te lo do: nel nome di Gesú Cristo, il Nazareno, cammina!» 7 Lo prese per la mano destra, lo sollevò; e in quell'istante le piante dei piedi e le caviglie gli si rafforzarono. 8 E con un balzo si alzò in piedi e cominciò a camminare; ed entrò con loro nel tempio camminando, saltando e lodando Dio.
9 Tutto il popolo lo vide che camminava e lodava Dio; 10 e lo riconoscevano per colui che sedeva a chiedere l'elemosina alla porta «Bella» del tempio; e furono pieni di meraviglia e di stupore per quello che gli era accaduto. 11 Mentre quell'uomo teneva stretti a sé Pietro e Giovanni, tutto il popolo, stupito, accorse a loro al portico detto di *Salomone.
Discorso di Pietro nel tempio
12 (B)Pietro, visto ciò, parlò al popolo, dicendo: «Uomini d'*Israele, perché vi meravigliate di questo? Perché fissate gli occhi su di noi, come se per la nostra propria potenza o pietà avessimo fatto camminare quest'uomo? 13 Il Dio di *Abraamo, di *Isacco e di *Giacobbe, il Dio dei nostri padri ha glorificato il suo servo Gesú, che voi metteste nelle mani di *Pilato e rinnegaste davanti a lui, mentre egli aveva giudicato di liberarlo. 14 Ma voi rinnegaste il Santo, il Giusto e chiedeste che vi fosse concesso un omicida; 15 e uccideste il Principe della vita, che Dio ha risuscitato dai morti. Di questo noi siamo testimoni. 16 E, per la fede nel suo nome, il suo nome ha fortificato quest'uomo che vedete e conoscete; ed è la fede, che si ha per mezzo di lui, che gli ha dato questa perfetta guarigione in presenza di voi tutti.
17 Ora, fratelli, io so che lo faceste per ignoranza, come pure i vostri capi. 18 Ma ciò che Dio aveva preannunziato per bocca di tutti i *profeti, cioè, che il suo Cristo avrebbe sofferto, egli lo ha adempiuto in questa maniera.
19 Ravvedetevi dunque e convertitevi, perché i vostri peccati siano cancellati 20 e affinché vengano dalla presenza del Signore dei tempi di ristoro e che egli mandi il Cristo che vi è stato predestinato, cioè Gesú, 21 che il cielo deve tenere accolto fino ai tempi della restaurazione di tutte le cose; di cui Dio ha parlato fin dall'antichità per bocca dei suoi santi profeti. 22 *Mosè, infatti, disse: “Il Signore Dio vi susciterà in mezzo ai vostri fratelli un profeta come me; ascoltatelo in tutte le cose che vi dirà. 23 E avverrà che chiunque non avrà ascoltato questo profeta, sarà estirpato di mezzo al popolo”[b]. 24 Tutti i profeti, che hanno parlato da *Samuele in poi, hanno anch'essi annunziato questi giorni. 25 Voi siete i figli dei profeti e del patto che Dio fece con i vostri padri, dicendo ad Abraamo: “Nella tua discendenza tutte le nazioni della terra saranno benedette”[c]. 26 A voi per primi Dio, avendo suscitato il suo Servo, lo ha mandato per benedirvi, convertendo ciascuno di voi dalle sue malvagità».

3 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 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;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 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.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 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.

A Lame Man Healed
3 Now Peter and John went up together (A)to the temple at the hour of prayer, (B)the ninth hour. 2 And (C)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, (D)to [a]ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: (E)In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, (F)leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 (G)And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who (H)sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
Preaching in Solomon’s Portico
11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch (I)which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 (J)The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, (K)glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you (L)delivered up and (M)denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14 But you denied (N)the Holy One (O)and the Just, and (P)asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and killed the [b]Prince of life, (Q)whom God raised from the dead, (R)of which we are witnesses. 16 (S)And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that (T)you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But (U)those things which God foretold (V)by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 (W)Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send [c]Jesus Christ, who was [d]preached to you before, 21 (X)whom heaven must receive until the times of (Y)restoration of all things, (Z)which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since [e]the world began. 22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, (AA)‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ 24 Yes, and (AB)all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also [f]foretold these days. 25 (AC)You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, (AD)‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 To you (AE)first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, (AF)in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
