12彼得看見這情形,就對大家說:「以色列人啊,何必驚奇呢?為什麼一直盯著我們呢?你們以為我們是憑自己的能力和虔誠叫這人行走嗎?13亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的上帝,就是我們祖先的上帝,已經使祂的僕人耶穌得了榮耀。你們把耶穌交給彼拉多,儘管彼拉多想釋放祂,你們卻在彼拉多面前棄絕祂!14你們棄絕了那聖潔公義者,竟然要求彼拉多釋放一個兇手。15你們殺了生命之主,上帝卻使祂從死裡復活了。我們都是這事的見證人。16你們認識的這個乞丐因為相信耶穌的名,得到了醫治。你們都看見了,他能痊癒是因為他信耶穌。17「弟兄們,我知道你們的所作所為是出於無知,你們的官長也是一樣。18但是上帝早已藉眾先知預言基督要受害,這事果然應驗了。19所以你們要悔改,歸向上帝,祂將除去你們一切的罪惡,20賜給你們煥然一新的日子,也將差遣祂預先為你們選立的基督耶穌降臨。21基督必須留在天上,直到萬物更新的時候,這是上帝自古以來藉聖先知的口說的。22摩西曾經說,『主——你們的上帝將要在你們中間興起一位像我一樣的先知。你們要留心聽祂的話,23凡不聽的,必將他從民中剷除。』24「從撒母耳到後來的所有先知都宣告過這些日子。25你們是先知的子孫,也承受了上帝和你們祖先所立的約。上帝曾對亞伯拉罕說,『天下萬族必因你的後裔而蒙福。』26上帝興起祂的僕人,首先差遣祂到你們中間賜福給你們,使你們脫離罪惡。」

The Lame Beggar Healed
1Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.*2And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple.3Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms.4And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.”5And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.6But 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!”7And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.8And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.9And all the people saw him walking and praising God,10and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
Peter Speaks in Solomon’s Portico
11While he clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s.12And 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?13The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant* Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.14But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,15and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.16And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus* has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.17“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.18But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled.19Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,20that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,21whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.22Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.23And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’24And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days.25You 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.’26God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”
