Healing of a Lame Man
3 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple for the time of prayer(A) at three in the afternoon.[a] 2 A man who was lame from birth was being carried there. He was placed each day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so that he could beg from those entering the temple.(B) 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked for money. 4 Peter, along with John, looked straight at him and said, ‘Look at us.’ 5 So he turned to them, expecting to get something from them. 6 But Peter said, ‘I don’t have silver or gold, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk! ’(C) 7 Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong. 8 So he jumped up and started to walk, and he entered the temple with them – walking, leaping, and praising God.(D) 9 All the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 and they recognised that he was the one who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.(E)
Preaching in Solomon’s Colonnade
11 While he[b] was holding on to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astonished, ran towards them in what is called Solomon’s Colonnade.(F) 12 When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: ‘Fellow Israelites, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us, as though we had made him walk by our own power or godliness? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors,(G) has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied before Pilate,(H) though he had decided to release him. 14 You denied the Holy and Righteous One(I) and asked to have a murderer released to you.(J) 15 You killed the source[c] of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this.(K) 16 By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. So the faith that comes through Jesus has given him this perfect health in front of all of you.
17 ‘And now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders also did.(L) 18 In this way God fulfilled what he had predicted through all the prophets – that his Messiah would suffer.(M) 19 Therefore repent(N) and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out,(O) 20 that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed(P) for you as the Messiah. 21 Heaven must receive him until the time of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about through his holy prophets from the beginning.(Q) 22 Moses said:[d] The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you. 23 And everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be completely cut off from the people.[e](R)
24 ‘In addition, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, have also foretold these days. 25 You are the sons[f] of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, saying to Abraham, And all the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring.[g](S) 26 God raised up his servant[h] and sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways.’(T)
Apostlagärningarna 3
Svenska 1917
3 Och Petrus och Johannes gingo upp till helgedomen, till den bön som hölls vid nionde timmen.
2 Och där bars fram en man som hade varit ofärdig allt ifrån moderlivet, och som man var dag plägade sätta vid den port i helgedomen, som kallades Sköna porten, för att han skulle kunna begära allmosor av dem som gingo in i helgedomen.
3 När denne nu fick se Petrus och Johannes, då de skulle gå in i helgedomen, bad han dem om en allmosa.
4 Då fäste Petrus och Johannes sina ögon på honom, och Petrus sade: »Se på oss.»
5 När han då gav akt på dem, i förväntan att få något av dem,
6 sade Petrus: »Silver och guld har jag icke; men vad jag har, det giver jag dig. I Jesu Kristi, nasaréens namn: stå upp och gå.»
7 Och så fattade han honom vid högra handen och reste upp honom. Och strax fingo hans fötter och fotleder styrka,
8 och han sprang upp och stod upprätt och begynte gå och följde dem in i helgedomen, alltjämt gående och springande, under det att han lovade Gud.
9 Och allt folket såg honom, där han gick omkring och lovade Gud.
10 Och när de kände igen honom och sågo att det var samme man som plägade sitta och begära allmosor vid Sköna porten i helgedomen, blevo de uppfyllda av häpnad och bestörtning över det som hade vederfarits honom.
11 Då han nu höll sig till Petrus och Johannes, strömmade allt folket, utom sig av häpnad, tillsammans till dem på den plats som kallades Salomos pelargång.
12 När Petrus såg detta, tog han till orda och talade till folket så: »I män av Israel, varför undren I över denne man, och varför sen I så på oss, likasom hade vi genom någon vår kraft eller fromhet åstadkommit att han kan gå?
13 Nej, Abrahams och Isaks och Jakobs Gud, våra fäders Gud, har förhärligat sin tjänare Jesus, honom som I utlämnaden, och som I förnekaden inför Pilatus, när denne redan hade beslutit att giva honom lös.
14 Ja, I förnekaden honom, den helige och rättfärdige, och begärden att en dråpare skulle givas åt eder.
15 Och livets furste dräpten I, men Gud uppväckte honom från de döda; därom kunna vi själva vittna.
16 Och det är på grund av tron på hans namn som denne man, vilken I sen och kännen, har undfått styrka av hans namn; och den tro som verkas genom Jesus har, i allas eder åsyn, gjort att han nu kan bruka alla lemmar.
17 Nu vet jag väl, mina bröder, att I såväl som edra rådsherrar haven gjort detta, därför att I icke vissten bättre.
18 Men Gud har på detta sätt låtit det gå i fullbordan, som han förut genom alla sina profeters mun hade förkunnat, nämligen att hans Smorde skulle lida.
19 Gören därför bättring och omvänden eder, så att edra synder bliva utplånade,
20 på det att tider av vederkvickelse må komma från Herren, i det att han sänder den Messias som han har utsett åt eder, nämligen Jesus,
21 vilken dock himmelen måste behålla intill de tider nå allt skall bliva upprättat igen, varom Gud har talat genom sina forntida heliga profeters mun.
22 Moses har ju sagt: 'En profet skall Herren Gud låta uppstå åt eder, av edra bröder, en som är mig lik; honom skolen I lyssna till i allt vad han talar till eder.
23 Och det skall ske att var och en som icke lyssnar till den profeten, han skall utrotas ur folket.'
24 Och sedan hava alla profeterna, både Samuel och de som följde efter honom, så många som hava talat, också bebådat dessa tider.
25 I ären själva barn av profeterna och delaktiga i det förbund som Gud slöt med edra fäder, när han sade till Abraham: 'Och i din säd skola alla släkter på jorden varda välsignade.'
26 För eder först och främst har Gud låtit sin tjänare uppstå, och han har sänt honom för att välsigna eder, när I, en och var, omvänden eder från eder ondska.»

New International Version
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.”
