Curación de un cojo
3 Cierto día Pedro y Juan(A) subían al templo a la hora novena[a], la hora de la oración(B). 2 Y había un hombre, cojo desde su nacimiento[b](C), al que llevaban y ponían diariamente a la puerta(D) del templo llamada la Hermosa, para que pidiera limosna(E) a los que entraban al templo. 3 Este, viendo a Pedro y a Juan(F) que iban a entrar al templo, les pedía limosna. 4 Entonces Pedro, junto con Juan, fijando su vista(G) en él, le dijo: «¡Míranos!».
5 Él los miró atentamente[c], esperando recibir algo de ellos. 6 Pero Pedro le dijo: «No tengo plata ni oro, pero lo que tengo te doy: en el nombre de Jesucristo el Nazareno(H), ¡anda[d]!».
7 Y tomándolo de la mano derecha, lo levantó; al instante sus pies y tobillos cobraron fuerza, 8 y de un salto se puso en pie y andaba(I). Entró al templo con ellos caminando, saltando y alabando a Dios.
9 Todo el pueblo lo vio andar y alabar a Dios(J), 10 y reconocieron que era el mismo que se sentaba a la puerta del templo, la Hermosa, a pedir limosna(K), y se llenaron de asombro y admiración por lo que le había sucedido.
Segundo sermón de Pedro
11 Estando el que era cojo aferrado a Pedro y a Juan(L), todo el pueblo, lleno de asombro, corrió al pórtico llamado de Salomón(M), donde ellos estaban. 12 Al ver esto, Pedro dijo al pueblo: «Hombres de Israel, ¿por qué se maravillan de esto, o por qué nos miran así, como si por nuestro propio poder o piedad le hubiéramos hecho andar? 13 El Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob(N), el Dios de nuestros padres(O), ha glorificado a Su Siervo[e] Jesús(P), al que ustedes entregaron(Q) y repudiaron en presencia de Pilato(R), cuando este había resuelto poner a Jesús en libertad(S). 14 Pero ustedes repudiaron al Santo y Justo(T), y pidieron que se les concediera un asesino(U), 15 y dieron muerte al Autor[f](V) de la vida, al que Dios resucitó de entre los muertos(W), de lo cual nosotros somos testigos(X).
16 »Por la fe en Su nombre(Y), es el nombre de Jesús[g] lo que ha fortalecido a este hombre a quien ven y conocen. La fe que viene por medio de Jesús, le ha dado a este esta perfecta sanidad en presencia de todos ustedes. 17 Y ahora, hermanos, yo sé que obraron por ignorancia(Z), lo mismo que sus gobernantes(AA). 18 Pero Dios ha cumplido así lo que anunció de antemano(AB) por boca de todos los profetas: que Su Cristo[h] debía padecer(AC).
19 »Por tanto, arrepiéntanse(AD) y conviértanse, para que sus pecados sean borrados, a fin de que tiempos de alivio vengan de la presencia del Señor(AE), 20 y Él envíe a Jesús, el Cristo designado de antemano para ustedes. 21 A Él el cielo debe recibir[i](AF) hasta el día[j] de la restauración de todas las cosas(AG), acerca de lo cual Dios habló por boca de Sus santos profetas desde tiempos antiguos(AH). 22 Moisés dijo: “El Señor Dios les levantará a ustedes un profeta como yo[k] de entre sus hermanos; a Él prestarán atención en todo cuanto les diga(AI). 23 Y sucederá que todo el que[l](AJ) no preste atención a aquel profeta, será totalmente destruido de entre el pueblo”. 24 Asimismo todos los profetas(AK) que han hablado desde Samuel y sus sucesores en adelante, también anunciaron estos días.
25 »Ustedes son los hijos de los profetas(AL) y del pacto que Dios hizo[m] con sus padres(AM), al decir a Abraham: “Y en tu simiente serán benditas todas las familias de la tierra(AN)”. 26 Para ustedes en primer lugar(AO), Dios, habiendo resucitado(AP) a Su Siervo[n], lo ha enviado(AQ) para que los bendiga, a fin de apartar a cada uno de ustedes de sus iniquidades».

A Lame Beggar Is Healed
3 One day Peter and John went to the Temple at three o'clock in the afternoon, the hour for prayer. 2 There at the Beautiful Gate, as it was called, was a man who had been lame all his life. Every day he was carried to the gate to beg for money from the people who were going into the Temple. 3 When he saw Peter and John going in, he begged them to give him something. 4 They looked straight at him, and Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So he looked at them, expecting to get something from them. 6 But Peter said to him, “I have no money at all, but I give you what I have: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I order you to get up and walk!” 7 Then he took him by his right hand and helped him up. At once the man's feet and ankles became strong; 8 he jumped up, stood on his feet, and started walking around. Then he went into the Temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God. 9 The people there saw him walking and praising God, 10 and when they recognized him as the beggar who had sat at the Beautiful Gate, they were all surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.
Peter's Message in the Temple
11 As the man held on to Peter and John in Solomon's Porch, as it was called, the people were amazed and ran to them. 12 When Peter saw the people, he said to them, “Fellow Israelites, why are you surprised at this, and why do you stare at us? Do you think that it was by means of our own power or godliness that we made this man walk? 13 (A)The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has given divine glory to his Servant Jesus. But you handed him over to the authorities, and you rejected him in Pilate's presence, even after Pilate had decided to set him free. 14 (B)He was holy and good, but you rejected him, and instead you asked Pilate to do you the favor of turning loose a murderer. 15 You killed the one who leads to life, but God raised him from death—and we are witnesses to this. 16 It was the power of his name that gave strength to this lame man. What you see and know was done by faith in his name; it was faith in Jesus that has made him well, as you can all see.
17 “And now, my friends, I know that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was due to your ignorance. 18 God announced long ago through all the prophets that his Messiah had to suffer; and he made it come true in this way. 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that he will forgive your sins. If you do, 20 times of spiritual strength will come from the Lord, and he will send Jesus, who is the Messiah he has already chosen for you. 21 He must remain in heaven until the time comes for all things to be made new, as God announced through his holy prophets of long ago. 22 (C)For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will send you a prophet, just as he sent me,[a] and he will be one of your own people. You are to obey everything that he tells you to do. 23 (D)Anyone who does not obey that prophet shall be separated from God's people and destroyed.’ 24 And all the prophets who had a message, including Samuel and those who came after him, also announced what has been happening these days. 25 (E)The promises of God through his prophets are for you, and you share in the covenant which God made with your ancestors. As he said to Abraham, ‘Through your descendants I will bless all the people on earth.’ 26 And so God chose his Servant and sent him to you first, to bless you by making every one of you turn away from your wicked ways.”
