A cura de um coxo. O discurso de Pedro no templo
3 Pedro e João subiam juntos ao templo à hora da oração, a nona. 2 E era trazido um varão que desde o ventre de sua mãe era coxo, o qual todos os dias punham à porta do templo chamada Formosa, para pedir esmola aos que entravam. 3 Ele, vendo a Pedro e a João, que iam entrando no templo, pediu que lhe dessem uma esmola. 4 E Pedro, com João, fitando os olhos nele, disse: Olha para nós. 5 E olhou para eles, esperando receber alguma coisa. 6 E disse Pedro: Não tenho prata nem ouro, mas o que tenho, isso te dou. Em nome de Jesus Cristo, o Nazareno, levanta-te e anda. 7 E, tomando-o pela mão direita, o levantou, e logo os seus pés e tornozelos se firmaram. 8 E, saltando ele, pôs-se em pé, e andou, e entrou com eles no templo, andando, e saltando, e louvando a Deus. 9 E todo o povo o viu andar e louvar a Deus; 10 e conheciam-no, pois era ele o que se assentava a pedir esmola à Porta Formosa do templo; e ficaram cheios de pasmo e assombro pelo que lhe acontecera.
11 E, apegando-se ele a Pedro e João, todo o povo correu atônito para junto deles no alpendre chamado de Salomão. 12 E, quando Pedro viu isto, disse ao povo: Varões israelitas, por que vos maravilhais disto? Ou, por que olhais tanto para nós, como se por nossa própria virtude ou santidade fizéssemos andar este homem? 13 O Deus de Abraão, e de Isaque, e de Jacó, o Deus de nossos pais, glorificou a seu Filho Jesus, a quem vós entregastes e perante a face de Pilatos negastes, tendo ele determinado que fosse solto. 14 Mas vós negastes o Santo e o Justo e pedistes que se vos desse um homem homicida. 15 E matastes o Príncipe da vida, ao qual Deus ressuscitou dos mortos, do que nós somos testemunhas. 16 E, pela fé no seu nome, fez o seu nome fortalecer a este que vedes e conheceis; e a fé que é por ele deu a este, na presença de todos vós, esta perfeita saúde. 17 E agora, irmãos, eu sei que o fizestes por ignorância, como também os vossos príncipes. 18 Mas Deus assim cumpriu o que já dantes pela boca de todos os seus profetas havia anunciado: que o Cristo havia de padecer. 19 Arrependei-vos, pois, e convertei-vos, para que sejam apagados os vossos pecados, e venham, assim, os tempos do refrigério pela presença do Senhor. 20 E envie ele a Jesus Cristo, que já dantes vos foi pregado, 21 o qual convém que o céu contenha até aos tempos da restauração de tudo, dos quais Deus falou pela boca de todos os seus santos profetas, desde o princípio. 22 Porque Moisés disse: O Senhor, vosso Deus, levantará dentre vossos irmãos um profeta semelhante a mim; a ele ouvireis em tudo quanto vos disser. 23 E acontecerá que toda alma que não escutar esse profeta será exterminada dentre o povo. 24 E todos os profetas, desde Samuel, todos quantos depois falaram, também anunciaram estes dias. 25 Vós sois os filhos dos profetas e do concerto que Deus fez com nossos pais, dizendo a Abraão: Na tua descendência serão benditas todas as famílias da terra. 26 Ressuscitando Deus a seu Filho Jesus, primeiro o enviou a vós, para que nisso vos abençoasse, e vos desviasse, a cada um, das vossas maldades.

Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 Now Kefa and Yochanan were going up to the Beis Hamikdash at the hour of tefillah, the ninth hour (three o’clock in the afternoon). [TEHILLIM 55:17]
2 And a certain ish, an ish (pisei’ach from the womb of his em), was being carried and they were putting him bederech klal (usually) yom yom at the sha’ar of the Beis Hamikdash, the one being called the Sha’ar Hatiferet, in order to beg for tzedakah from the ones entering into the Beis Hamikdash.
3 When the ish pisei’ach (lame man) saw Kefa and Yochanan being about to enter into the Beis Hamikdash, he began begging them for tzedakah.
4 But Kefa, as did Yochanan, gazed at him, saying, "Look at us!"
5 And the ish pisei’ach was paying heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 And Kefa said, "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give to you. In ha-Shem of the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua of Natzeret, get up and walk!"
7 And having grasped him by the yad yamin, Kefa lifted him up, and immediately the man’s feet and ankles were strengthened.
8 And leaping up, he stood and was walking around, and he entered with them into the Beis Hamikdash, walking and leaping and shouting "Baruch Hashem!" [YESHAYAH 35:6]
9 And all the people saw him walking and shouting, "Baruch Hashem!"
10 And they recognized him, that he was the one sitting at the Sha’ar Hatiferet (Beautiful Gate) of the Beis Hamikdash begging for tzedakah; and they were mishpoyel (standing in awe) and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Now while Kefa and Yochanan were being held by him, all the people ran together to them at the Portico which is called Ulam Sh’lomo, and the people were utterly astonished.
12 And when Kefa saw this, he answered the people, preaching, "Anshei Yisroel, why are you bewildered at this or at us? Why are you gazing as if it were by our own ko’ach or chassidus that this man has become able to walk?
13 "Hashem, Elohei Avraham V’Elohei Yitzchak V’Elohei Ya’akov, the G-d of Avoteinu, has brought kavod to his mesharet, his Eved, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate when you decided to release the other one. [SHEMOT 3:6,15; YESHAYAH 52:13;53:11]
14 "But you denied HaKadosh and the Tzaddik and you asked for a man who was a rotzeach (murderer) to be granted unto you,
15 "but the Sar HaChayyim you did away with, whom Hashem made to stand up alive again from the mesim, of which we are edim (witnesses).
16 "And on the basis of emunah in Shmo (Name), this ish whom you see and know, the Shem of Yehoshua has made him strong; ken, and it is emunah (faith) that comes through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, which has given a refu’ah shleimah (complete healing) to this man in the presence of all of you.
17 "And now, Achim, I realize that according to a lack of da’as you acted, as did also your manhigim (leaders).
18 "But Hashem has thus fulfilled the things which he announced beforehand through the mouth of all the Nevi’im that the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach should undergo Messianic yissurim (sufferings).
19 "Therefore, make teshuva (repentance, turning from chet [sin] to G-d) and turn in order that your chatta’im, your averos (sins) may be removed, [TEHILLIM 51:1; YESHAYAH 43:25; 44:22]
20 "In order that times of rest may come from the presence of Adonoi, and that he may send the one having been proclaimed beforehand to you, that is, the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,
21 "Whom it is necessary for Shomayim to receive until the times of the Tikkun of all things of which Hashem spoke long ago through the mouth of his Nevi’im hakedoshim."
22 "Moshe Rabbenu indeed said, "NAVI KAMOCHA [T. N. i.e., a prophet like Moses] for you Hashem Adonoi will raise up from your achim; to him you will give heed according to everything whatever he may speak to you." [DEVARIM 18:15,18]
23 "And it will be that every nefesh (soul) whoever LO YISHMA (does not listen) to that Navi (prophet) will be utterly destroyed from among the people. [DEVARIM 18:19; VAYIKRA 23:29]
24 "And likewise all the Nevi’im (prophets) from Shmuel and his successors onward, also announced HaYom HaZeh.
25 "You are the Bnei HaNevi’im (prophets) and you are the Bnei HaBrit which Hashem decreed to your Avot, saying to Avraham Avinu, V’NIVRAKHU (“and they will be blessed”) in your ZERA (“Seed”), KOL MISHPEKHOT HA’ADAMAH ("and in your Zera will be blessed all the families of the earth.") [BERESHIS 12:3; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14]
26 "To you rishonah (first) Hashem raised up his EVED [Moshiach], sending him to give you a bracha, turning every one of you in teshuva away from your wicked ways."
