  Acts chapter 3. Now Peter and John were going up
• 0:02
  to the temple at the 9th hour, the hour of prayer, and a man
• 0:06
  who had been lame from his mother's womb was being carried
• 0:08
  along, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of
• 0:10
  the temple which is called beautiful, in order to beg alms
• 0:13
  of those who were entering the temple.
• 0:15
  When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began
• 0:17
  asking to receive alms. But Peter along with John fixed
• 0:20
  his gaze on him and said, Look at us.
• 0:23
  And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive
• 0:25
  something from them. But Peter said, I do not possess
• 0:29
  silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you in the name
• 0:32
  of Jesus Christ the Nazarene Walk.
• 0:35
  And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up, and
• 0:37
  immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.
• 0:40
  With a leap he stood upright and began to walk.
• 0:42
  And he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping, and
• 0:45
  praising God. And all the people saw him
• 0:47
  walking and praising God, and they were taking note of him as
• 0:50
  being the one who used to sit at the beautiful gate of the temple
• 0:52
  to beg alms. And they were filled with wonder
• 0:55
  and amazement at what had happened to him.
• 0:57
  While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran
• 1:00
  together to them at the so-called portico of Solomon,
• 1:02
  full of amazement. But when Peter saw this, he
• 1:05
  replied to the people. Men of Israel, why are you
• 1:08
  amazed at this? Or why do you gaze at us as if
• 1:11
  by our own power or piety we had made him walk?
• 1:14
  The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers,
• 1:17
  has glorified his servant Jesus, the one whom you delivered and
• 1:20
  disowned in the presence of Pilate when he had decided to
• 1:23
  release Him. But you disown the holy and
• 1:25
  righteous one and ask for a murderer to be granted to you,
• 1:28
  but put to death the Prince of life, the one whom God raised
• 1:31
  from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses not, and on the
• 1:35
  basis of faith in His name. It is the name of Jesus which
• 1:38
  has strengthened this man whom you see and know, and the faith
• 1:42
  which comes through him has given him this perfect health in
• 1:45
  the presence of you all. And now, brethren, I know that
• 1:48
  you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also.
• 1:51
  But the things which God announced beforehand by the
• 1:53
  mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he has
• 1:57
  thus fulfilled. Therefore repent and return, so
• 2:00
  that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of
• 2:03
  refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that
• 2:06
  He may send Jesus the Christ appointed for you, whom heaven
• 2:09
  must receive until a period of restoration of all things about
• 2:12
  which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient
• 2:15
  time. Moses said, The Lord God will
• 2:18
  raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren to him.
• 2:21
  You shall give heed to everything he says to you.
• 2:24
  And it will be that every soul that does not heed that prophet
• 2:27
  shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
• 2:30
  And likewise all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel and
• 2:33
  his successors onward also announce these days it is you
• 2:37
  who are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God
• 2:39
  made with your father's saying to Abraham.
• 2:42
  And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be
• 2:45
  blessed for you. First, God raised up his servant
• 2:48
  and sent him to bless you by turning everyone of you from
• 2:51
  your wicked ways.
