Pedro y Juan curan a un cojo de nacimiento
3 Un día en que Pedro y Juan fueron al Templo para la oración de media tarde, 2 se encontraron con un lisiado de nacimiento, que estaba junto a la puerta del Templo llamada “Hermosa”. Lo llevaban cada día y lo ponían allí para que pidiese limosna a las personas que entraban en el Templo. 3 Al ver que Pedro y Juan iban a entrar, les pidió una limosna. 4 Pedro y Juan clavaron su mirada en él, y Pedro le dijo:
— Míranos.
5 El cojo los miró con atención, esperando que le dieran algo. 6 Pedro entonces le dijo:
— No tengo plata ni oro, pero te daré lo que poseo: en nombre de Jesús de Nazaret, comienza a andar.
7 Y, tomándolo de la mano derecha, hizo que se incorporase. Al instante se fortalecieron sus piernas y sus tobillos, 8 se puso en pie de un salto y comenzó a andar. Luego entró con ellos en el Templo por su propio pie, saltando y alabando a Dios. 9 Todos los que lo vieron andar y alabar a Dios, 10 al reconocer en él al mendigo que se sentaba junto a la puerta Hermosa del Templo, quedaron atónitos y asombrados por lo que le había sucedido.
Discurso de Pedro en el pórtico del Templo
11 Como aquel hombre no se separaba de Pedro y de Juan, todo el pueblo, lleno de asombro, se congregó en tropel alrededor de ellos en el pórtico que llaman “de Salomón”. 12 Pedro, al ver esto, habló así al pueblo:
— Israelitas, ¿por qué se sorprendan de este suceso? ¿Por qué nos miran como si hubiera sido nuestro poder o nuestra religiosidad lo que ha hecho andar a este hombre? 13 El Dios de Abrahán, de Isaac y de Jacob, el Dios de nuestros antepasados, ha colmado de honor a Jesús, su siervo, a quien, por cierto, ustedes mismos entregaron a las autoridades y rechazaron ante Pilato cuando ya este había decidido ponerlo en libertad. 14 Rechazaron al santo y al justo, para pedir a cambio la libertad de un asesino. 15 Mataron así al autor de la vida; pero Dios lo ha resucitado, y nosotros somos testigos de ello. 16 Pues bien, por creer en Jesús se le han fortalecido las piernas a este hombre que están viendo y que ustedes conocen. La fe en Jesús le ha devuelto totalmente la salud, como pueden comprobar. 17 No obstante, hermanos, sé que tanto ustedes como sus dirigentes actuaron por ignorancia. 18 Pero Dios cumplía de este modo lo que había anunciado por medio de los profetas en lo que se refiere a los sufrimientos que su Mesías había de padecer. 19 Por tanto, conviértanse y vuelvan a Dios, para que sus pecados les sean borrados. 20 Así hará venir el Señor una era de tranquilidad, y enviará de nuevo al Mesías que previamente les había destinado, es decir, a Jesús. 21 Pero ahora es preciso que Jesús permanezca en el cielo hasta que llegue el momento en que todo sea restaurado, según declaró Dios en época precedente por medio de sus santos profetas. 22 Ya Moisés dijo al respecto: El Señor, el Dios de ustedes, les va a suscitar un profeta de entre ustedes mismos, como hizo conmigo. Tienen que prestar atención a todo lo que les diga, 23 pues quien no haga caso a ese profeta será arrancado del pueblo. 24 Y también todos los profetas, de Samuel en adelante, pronosticaron los acontecimientos actuales. 25 Y ustedes son los herederos de los profetas y de la alianza que Dios estableció con sus antepasados cuando dijo a Abrahán: Tu descendencia será fuente de bendición para toda la humanidad. 26 Así que Dios, después de resucitar a su siervo, lo ha enviado primero a ustedes a fin de que se les convierta en bendición y todos y cada uno se aparten del mal.
Acts 3
King James Version
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.
Acts 3
English Standard Version
The Lame Beggar Healed
3 Now Peter and John were (A)going up to the temple at (B)the hour of prayer, (C)the ninth hour.[a] 2 And a man (D)lame from birth was being carried, (E)whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate (F)to ask alms of those entering the temple. 3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. 4 And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, (G)“I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. (H)In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” 7 And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8 And (I)leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 And (J)all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
Peter Speaks in Solomon's Portico
11 (K)While he clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in (L)the portico called Solomon's. 12 And when Peter saw it he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk? 13 (M)The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, (N)the God of our fathers, (O)glorified his servant[b] Jesus, whom (P)you delivered over and (Q)denied in the presence of Pilate, (R)when he had decided to release him. 14 But you denied (S)the Holy and (T)Righteous One, and (U)asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and you killed (V)the Author of life, (W)whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. 16 And (X)his name—by (Y)faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is (Z)through Jesus[c] has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.
17 “And now, brothers, I know that (AA)you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But what God (AB)foretold (AC)by the mouth of all the prophets, that (AD)his Christ would (AE)suffer, he thus fulfilled. 19 (AF)Repent therefore, and (AG)turn back, that (AH)your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ (AI)appointed for you, Jesus, 21 (AJ)whom heaven must receive until the time for (AK)restoring all the things about which (AL)God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you (AM)a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen (AN)to him in whatever he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet (AO)shall be destroyed from the people.’ 24 And (AP)all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. 25 (AQ)You are the sons of the prophets and of (AR)the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, (AS)‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ 26 (AT)God, (AU)having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, (AV)to bless you (AW)by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”
