AICNT 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, lame from his mother's womb, was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called Beautiful, to ask for alms from those entering the temple.

3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked [to receive][fn] alms. 4 And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.

6 But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, [[rise up and]] walk.”[fn]

7 And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8 And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, 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 who used to sit for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with amazement and astonishment at what had happened to him.

11 While [[the lame man who was healed]][fn] held onto Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the portico called Solomon's,[fn] utterly astonished.

12 And when Peter saw it he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk? 13 The God of Abraham, [the God][fn] of Isaac, and [the God] of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

14 “But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. 16 And [on the basis of][fn] faith in his name, this one whom you see and know, his name has made strong, and the faith that comes through him has given him this complete healing in the presence of you all.

17 “And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that {his}[fn] Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled.

19 “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, 21 whom it is necessary for heaven to receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of [[all]][fn] his holy prophets from ancient times.

22 “Moses said, ‘The Lord [your][fn] God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.[fn] 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’

24 “And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed 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 offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’[fn] 26 God, having raised up his servant [[Jesus]],[fn] sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”
