Acts 3

1
English · Berean Standard Bible

One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us!” said Peter.

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.

22
English · Berean Standard Bible

For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.

25
English · Berean Standard Bible

And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

26
English · Berean Standard Bible

When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
