ULT ACTs Chapter 3

3 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom each day they placed at the gate of the temple that is called Beautiful to ask for alms from those going into the temple, 3 who, seeing Peter and John being about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms. 4 But Peter, looking intently at him with John, said, “Look at us.” 5 So he paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not possess, but what I have, this I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk.” 7 And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8 And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and he 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 recognized him, that he was the one sitting 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 he was holding Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, marveling. 12 But Peter, seeing this, replied to the people, “Men, Israelites, why do you marvel at this? Or why do you look intently at us, as if we have made him to walk by our own power or godliness? 13 The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and rejected before the face of Pilate, when that one had decided to release him. 14 But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a man, a murderer, to be granted to you, 15 and you killed the Originator of Life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16 And by faith in his name, this one whom you see and know, his name has made strong. And the faith that is through him has given to him this complete health in the presence of all of you. 17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as also your rulers. 18 But what God foretold through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he has fulfilled thus. 19 Repent, therefore, and turn back for your sins to be wiped away, 20 so that times of refreshment may come from the face of the Lord and he may send the one appointed for you, Christ Jesus, 21 whom it is necessary for heaven to receive until the times of the restoration of all things, about which God spoke from the age through the mouth of his holy prophets. 22 Moses indeed said, ‘The Lord our God[fn] will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You will listen to him according to everything—whatever he may speak to you. 23 But it will be that every soul that does not listen to that prophet will be destroyed from the people.’ 24 And indeed, all the prophets from Samuel and those after him, as many as have spoken, have also announced these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.’ 26 God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to you first, blessing you by turning each of you from your wickedness.”

Some ancient manuscripts read The Lord our God, while other ancient manuscripts read The Lord your God and still others read The Lord God.
