1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was being carried in, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms from those entering the temple.
3 When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.
4 And Peter, fixing his gaze on him together with John, said, "Look at us."
5 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said, "Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, this I give to you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk."
7 And seizing him by the right hand he lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength;
8 and leaping up he stood and walked about, and he entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And the whole people saw him walking about and praising God;
10 and they knew that it was he who used to sit for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 And as the lame man who had been healed held fast to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the porch called Solomon's, utterly amazed.
12 When Peter saw it, he answered the people: "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 godliness we had made him walk?
13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when that man had judged it right to set him free.
14 You denied the Holy and Righteous One and requested that a man who was a murderer be granted to you,
15 and the Author of life you killed, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this.
16 And by faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know; and the faith that comes through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 "And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, as your rulers also did.
18 But the things that God announced beforehand by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Christ should suffer, he has thus fulfilled.
19 Repent therefore and turn, so that your sins may be blotted out, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
20 and that he may send Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you beforehand,
21 whom heaven must receive until the times of the restoration of all things, of which God spoke by the mouth of all his holy prophets from of old.
22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet from among your brothers, like me; you shall listen to him in all things, whatever he says to you.
23 And it shall be that every soul that does not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
24 Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after him, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.
25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'
26 To you first, God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him blessing you, in turning away each one of you from your wickednesses."
