Pinagaling ang Isang Lumpo

Minsan, nagpunta sina Pedro at Juan sa Templo; alas tres ng hapon noon, ang oras ng pananalangin. Sa pintuan ng Templo na tinatawag na Pintuang Maganda ay may isang lalaking lumpo mula pa nang ito'y isilang. Dinadala ito sa Templo araw-araw upang mamalimos sa mga taong pumapasok doon. Nang makita nito sina Pedro at Juan na papasók sa Templo, siya'y humingi ng limos. Tinitigan siya ng dalawa, at sinabi ni Pedro sa kanya, “Tingnan mo kami!” Tumingin nga siya sa kanila sa pag-asang siya'y lilimusan. Ngunit sinabi ni Pedro, “Wala akong pilak o ginto, ngunit kung ano ang mayroon ako ay siya kong ibibigay sa iyo. Sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristong taga-Nazaret, tumayo ka at lumakad.” Hinawakan niya sa kanang kamay ang lumpo at itinayo. Noon di'y lumakas ang mga paa at bukung-bukong ng lalaki; palukso itong tumayo at nagsimulang lumakad. Pumasok siya sa Templo kasama nila, naglalakad, lumulundag at nagpupuri sa Diyos. Nakita ng lahat na siya'y naglalakad at nagpupuri sa Diyos. 10 Nang makilala nilang siya ang pulubing dati'y nakaupong namamalimos sa Pintuang Maganda ng Templo, namangha sila at nagtaka sa nangyari sa kanya.

Nangaral si Pedro sa Portiko ni Solomon

11 Habang nakahawak siya kina Pedro at Juan sa lugar na tinatawag na Portiko ni Solomon, patakbong lumapit sa kanila ang mga taong takang-taka sa nangyari. 12 Nangmakita ni Pedro ang mga tao, sinabi niya, “Mga Israelita, bakit kayo nagtataka sa nangyaring ito? Bakit ninyo kami tinititigan? Akala ba ninyo'y napalakad namin siya dahil sa sarili naming kapangyarihan o kabanalan? 13 Niluwalhati (A) ng Diyos ng ating mga ninunong sina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob ang kanyang Lingkod na si Jesus na isinakdal ninyo at itinakwil sa harap ni Pilato, gayong ipinasya na nito na palayain siya. 14 Itinakwil(B) ninyo ang Banal at Matuwid, at hiniling na palayain ang isang mamamatay-tao. 15 Pinatay ninyo ang Pinagmumulan ng buhay, ngunit siya'y muling binuhay ng Diyos, at saksi kami sa pangyayaring ito. 16 Ang kapangyarihan ng pangalan ni Jesus ang nagpagaling sa lalaking ito; nangyari ito dahil sa pananalig sa kanyang pangalan. Ang pananalig kay Jesus ang lubusang nagpagaling sa kanya, tulad ng inyong nakikita.

17 “Mga kapatid, alam kong hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang inyong ginawa, gayundin ng inyong mga pinuno. 18 Sa ganitong paraan ay natupad ang matagal nang ipinahayag ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta na ang kanyang Cristo ay kailangang magdusa. 19 Kaya nga, magsisi kayo at magbalik-loob sa Diyos upang patawarin ang inyong mga kasalanan, 20 at nang sa gayon ay sumapit ang panahon ng pagpapanibagong lakas mula sa Panginoon. Susuguin niya si Jesus, ang Cristong hinirang mula pa noong una para sa inyo. 21 Siya'y dapat munang manatili sa langit hanggang sa dumating ang pagbabago ng lahat ng bagay, ayon sa ipinahayag ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga banal na propeta mula pa noong una. 22 Sapagkat(C) sinabi ni Moises, ‘Mula sa inyo, ang Panginoon ninyong Diyos[a] ay pipili para sa inyo ng isang propetang katulad ko. Sundin ninyo ang lahat ng kanyang sasabihin sa inyo. 23 Ang(D) sinumang hindi sumunod sa propetang iyon ay ihihiwalay sa bayan ng Diyos at lilipulin.’ 24 Ang lahat ng mga propeta, kasama si Samuel at ang mga kasunod niya, ay nagpahayag din tungkol sa panahong ito. 25 Ang(E) mga pangako ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta ay para sa inyo, at kasama kayo sa kasunduan na ginawa ng Diyos at ng inyong mga ninuno[b] nang kanyang sabihin kay Abraham, ‘Pagpapalain ko ang lahat ng angkan sa daigdig sa pamamagitan ng iyong lahi.’ 26 Kaya't matapos buhayin ng Diyos ang kanyang Lingkod, sa inyo siya unang isinugo upang pagpalain kayo at tulungang tumalikod sa inyong masamang pamumuhay.”

Peter Heals a Lame Beggar

One day Peter and John(A) were going up to the temple(B) at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon.(C) 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. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

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.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 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. 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.”

  2. Acts 3:25 Gen. 22:18; 26:4

Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

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;

Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

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.

And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

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.
