Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

¹¹ While the man still held on to Peter and John, all the people came running to them. It was in the part of the temple which is called Solomon's porch. They were still very excited.

¹² When Peter saw this, he talked to the people. He said, `Men of Israel, why are you so surprised at this? Do you think that we have power or are good enough to make this man walk? Why do you look at us that way?

¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and of our fathers, has made his Son Jesus great. You gave him up to Pilate. You did not want to believe who he was. You did not want him back when Pilate agreed to let him go free.

¹⁴ You would not receive the one who was holy and good. You asked for a bad man, who killed people, to be given to you.

¹⁵ You killed the one who gives life, the one whom God brought back from death. We saw it and are telling people about it.

¹⁶ This man whom you see and know, believed in the name of Jesus Christ. This man's faith in that name has healed him. Yes, believing in Jesus Christ has made him well here in front of you all.
