Acts 使徒行传_Ac_03

1One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer--at three in the afternoon.

2Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.

3When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

4Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!"

5So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.

8He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.

9When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement¹ at what had happened to him.

11While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade².

12When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

13The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified³ his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided⁴ to let him go.

14You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

15You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

16By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.

17"Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

18But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold⁵ through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer.

19Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing⁶ may come from the Lord,

20and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus.

21He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

22For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.

23Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people.'

24"Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days.

25And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant⁷ God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.'

26When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways."
