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 being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts from those who entered into the temple;
3. Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked for a gift.
4. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look at us.
5. And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have I give you: 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 who sat for gifts at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.
11. And as the lame man who was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12. And when Peter saw it, he answered to the people, You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why do you look so earnestly at 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, has glorified his Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you;
15. And killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead; of which we are witnesses.
16. And his name through faith in his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know: yea, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17. And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance you did it, as did also your rulers.
18. But those things, which God before had shown by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ would suffer, he has so fulfilled.
19. Repent 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, who beforehand was preached to you:
21. Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoring all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22. For Moses truly said to the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you from your kindred, like me; him shall you hear in all things whatever he shall say to 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. You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your offspring shall all the peoples of the earth be blessed.
26. To you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
