Acts 3
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Peter Heals a Man Lame From Birth In The Name of Jesus Christ The Nazarene
3 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth[a] hour. 2 And a certain man being lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they were putting daily at the gate of the temple being called “Beautiful”, that he might be asking-for alms[b] from the ones coming into the temple— 3 who, having seen Peter and John being about to go into the temple, was asking to receive alms. 4 And Peter, along with John, having looked-intently at him, said, “Look at us!” 5 And the one was fixing-his-attention-on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 And Peter said, “There is no silver and gold with me. But what I have, this I give to you— in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, arise and walk”. 7 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised him. And at once his feet and ankles were made-strong[c]. 8 And leaping-up, he stood and was walking-around. And he 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 were recognizing him— that he was the one sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and astonishment at the thing having happened to him.
A Crowd Comes Together, And Peter Speaks To Them:
11 And while he was holding-on-to Peter and John, all the people ran-together to them at the portico being called “Solomon’s”, struck-with-wonder. 12 And having seen it, Peter responded to the people—
God Raised Jesus, The One You Denied And Killed. And Jesus Healed This Man
“Men, Israelites, why are you marveling at this? Or why are you looking-intently at us as-if we caused him to walk by our own power or godliness? 13 The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers— He glorified His servant Jesus, Whom you indeed handed-over and denied in the presence of Pilate, that one having determined[d] to release Him. 14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a man who was a murderer be granted to you. 15 And you killed the Author[e] of life, Whom God raised from the dead— of which we are witnesses. 16 And on-the-basis-of [our] faith in His name, His name made this one strong whom you see and know. And the faith that comes through Him gave him this wholeness in front of all of you.
The Prophets Said The Christ Would Suffer, Which God Now Fulfilled. Therefore Repent
17 “And now, brothers, I know that you acted in-accordance-with[f] ignorance, just as also your rulers. 18 But God fulfilled in this manner the things which He announced-beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets— that His Christ would suffer. 19 Therefore repent and turn-back so that your sins may be wiped-out[g], 20 so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and He may send-forth the Christ[h] having been appointed[i] for you— Jesus, 21 Whom it-is-necessary[j] that heaven receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from the past age.
Moses And The Prophets Announced This Day. God Has Sent Jesus To You First
22 “Moses said [in Deut 18:15-19] that ‘The Lord your God will raise-up a prophet for you from your brothers like me. You shall listen-to[k] Him in relation to all that He says to you. 23 And it will be that every soul who does not listen-to that prophet will be utterly-destroyed out of the people’. 24 And[l] indeed all the prophets from Samuel and his successors who spoke also announced these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God covenanted with your fathers, saying to Abraham [in Gen 22:18], ‘And all the families of the earth will be blessed in your seed’. 26 God, having raised-up His Servant, sent Him forth to you first— blessing you in[m] turning-away each of you from your evil-ways”.

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».
