|
1 |
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.
