Acts 3:1–4:12

Now Peter and ^aJohn ^bwent up together ^cinto the temple at ^dthe hour of prayer, being ^ethe ninth hour. ²And a certain man ^flame from his mother’s womb was carried, ^gwhom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, ^hto ask alms of them that entered into the temple; ³who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked an alms. ⁴And Peter, ⁱfastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. ⁵And he ^jgave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. ⁶Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: ^kIn the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. ⁷And he took him by the right hand, and lift him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength, ⁸and he ^lleaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and ^lleaping, and praising God. ⁹And ^mall the people saw him walking and praising God: ¹⁰and they ⁿknew that it was he which ^hsat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

¹¹And as the lame man which was healed ⁿⁿheld Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in ^othe porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering. ¹²And when Peter saw it, he ^panswered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why ^qlook ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or ^rholiness we had made this man to walk? ¹³The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, ^sthe God of our fathers, hath ^tglorified his Son Jesus; whom ye ^udelivered up, and ^wdenied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to ^xlet him go. ¹⁴But ye denied ^ythe Holy One and ^zthe Just, and ^adesired a murderer to be ^bgranted unto you; ¹⁵and killed the ^cPrince of ^dlife, whom ^eGod hath raised from the dead; whereof we are ^fwitnesses. ¹⁶And ^ghis name ^hthrough faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, ^hthe faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. ¹⁷And now, brethren, I wot that ⁱthrough ignorance ye did it, as did also your ^krulers. ¹⁸But those things, which God ^lbefore had shewed ^mby the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. ¹⁹ⁿRepent ye therefore, and ^obe converted, that your sins may be ^pblotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; ²⁰and he shall send Jesus Christ, which ^qbefore was preached unto you: ^21rwhom the heaven must receive until the times of ^srestitution of all things, which ^tGod hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets ^tusince the world began. ²²For Moses truly said unto the fathers, ^xA prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; ^yhim shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. ²³And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. ²⁴Yea, and all the ^zprophets from ^zSamuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise ^lforetold of these days. ²⁵Ye are ^athe children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, ^bAnd in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be ^eblessed. ²⁶Unto you ^cfirst God, ^dhaving raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to ^ebless you, in ^fturning away every one of you from his iniquities.

IV.And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the ^aSadducees, came upon them, ^2bbeing grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus ^cthe resurrection from the dead. ³And ^dthey laid hands on them, and put them in ^ehold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. ⁴Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was ^fabout five thousand. ⁵And it came to pass on the morrow, that their ^grulers, and elders, and scribes, ⁶and ^hAnnas the high priest, and ⁱCaiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. ⁷And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, ^kBy what power, or by what name, have ye done this? ⁸Then Peter, ^lfilled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye ^grulers of the people, and elders of Israel, ⁹if we this day be ^mexamined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is ⁿmade whole; ¹⁰be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that ^oby the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom ^pGod raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. ¹¹This is ^qthe stone which was ^rset at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. ^12sNeither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
