The Acts of the Emissaries, Chapter 3
{3:1} Peter and Yochanan were going up into the temple at the hour
of prayer, [1>]the ninth hour[<1]. {3:2} A certain man who was lame
from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the
door of the temple which is called [2>]Yafeh[<2], to ask gifts for the
needy of those who entered into the temple. {3:3} Seeing Peter and
Yochanan about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for
the needy. {3:4} Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with Yochanan,
said, "Look at us." {3:5} He listened to them, expecting to receive
something from them. {3:6} But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I
none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Yeshua the
Messiah of Nazareth, get up and walk!" {3:7} He took him by the right
hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones
received strength. {3:8} Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He
entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
{3:9} All the people saw him walking and praising God. {3:10} They
recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for
the needy at the Yafeh Gate of the temple. They were filled with
wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. {3:11} As the lame
man who was healed held on to Peter and Yochanan, all the people ran
together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly
wondering.
{3:12} When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of
Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on
us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?
{3:13} The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers,
has glorified his Servant Yeshua, whom you delivered up, and denied in
the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. {3:14}
But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to
be granted to you, {3:15} and killed the Prince of life, whom God
raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses. {3:16} By faith in
his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know.
Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect
soundness in the presence of you all.
{3:17} "Now, [3>]brothers[<3], I know that you did this in
ignorance, as did also your rulers. {3:18} But the things which God
announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Messiah should
suffer, he thus fulfilled.
{3:19} "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be
blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the
presence of the Lord, {3:20} and that he may send Messiah Yeshua, who
was ordained for you before, {3:21} whom heaven must receive until the
times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the
mouth of his holy prophets. {3:22} For Moses indeed said to the
fathers, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your
brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he
says to you. {3:23} It will be, that every soul that will not listen
to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'[4]
{3:24} Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed
after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days. {3:25}
You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God
made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'In your seed will all the
families of the earth be blessed.'[5] {3:26} God, having raised up his
servant, Yeshua, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away
everyone of you from your wickedness."
