The Acts of the Apostles

 1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

 2 And a certain man ^alame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

 3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an ^aalms.

 4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have ^agive I thee: In the ^bname of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

 7 And he took him by the right hand, and ^alifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

 8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

 9 And all the people ^asaw him walking and praising God:

 10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

 11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the ^aporch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

 12 ¶And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our ^aown power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath ^aglorified his Son Jesus; whom ye ^bdelivered up, and ^cdenied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

 14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a ^amurderer to be granted unto you;

 15 And killed the ^aPrince of life, whom God hath ^braised from the dead; whereof we are ^cwitnesses.

 16 And his ^aname through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the ^bfaith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

 17 And now, brethren, ^aI ^bwot that through ^cignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

 18 But those things, which God before had ^ashewed by the mouth of all his ^bprophets, that Christ should ^csuffer, he hath so fulfilled.

 19 ¶^aRepent ye therefore, and be ^bconverted, that your sins may be ^cblotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the ^dpresence of the Lord;

 20 And he shall send ^aJesus Christ, which before was preached unto ^byou:

 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of ^arestitution of all things, which God hath ^bspoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

 22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A ^aprophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

 23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be ^adestroyed from among the people.

 24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise ^aforetold of these days.

 25 Ye are the ^achildren of the prophets, and of the ^bcovenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be ^cblessed.

 26 Unto you first God, having raised up his ^aSon Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
