003:001

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

003:002

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

003:003

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

003:004

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

003:005

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

003:006

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

003:007

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

003:008

And all the people saw him walking and praising God

003:009

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

003:010

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

003:011

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

003:012

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

003:013

But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you

003:014

And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses

003:015

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

003:016

And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers

003:017

But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled

003:018

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

003:019

And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you

003:020

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

003:021

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

003:022

And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people

003:023

Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days

003:024

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

003:025

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
