Acts 3:11-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Peter Speaks in Solomon’s Portico

¹¹ While he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s Portico, utterly astonished.^{(A) 12} When Peter saw it, he addressed the people, “Fellow Israelites,^[a] why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob,^[b] the God of our ancestors, has glorified his servant^[c] Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in the presence of Pilate, though he had decided to release him.^{(B) 14} But you rejected the holy and righteous^[d] one and asked to have a murderer given to you,^{(C) 15} and you killed the author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.^{(D) 16} And by faith in his name, his name itself has made this man strong, whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus^[e] has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you.
