Acts:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer ,
being the ninth hour .
*
And a certain man lame 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 ;
*
Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms .
*
And Peter ,
fastening his eyes upon him with John ,
said ,
Look on us .
*
And he gave heed unto them ,
expecting to receive something of them .
*
Then Peter said ,
Silver and gold have I none ;
but such as I have give I thee :
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk .
*
And he took him by the right hand ,
and lifted him up :
and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength .
*
And he leaping up stood ,
and walked ,
and entered with them into the temple ,
walking ,
and leaping ,
and praising God .
*
And all the people saw him walking and praising God :
*
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 .
*
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John ,
all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon '
s ,
greatly wondering .
*
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 own power or holiness we had made this man to walk ?
*
The God of Abraham ,
and of Isaac ,
and of Jacob ,
the God of our fathers ,
hath glorified his Son Jesus ;
whom ye delivered up ,
and denied him in the presence of Pilate ,
when he was determined to let him go .
*
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just ,
and desired a murderer to be granted unto you ;
*
And killed the Prince of life ,
whom God hath raised from the dead ;
whereof we are witnesses .
*
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong ,
whom ye see and know :
yea ,
the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all .
*
And now ,
brethren ,
I wot that through ignorance ye did it ,
as did also your rulers .
*
But those things ,
which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets ,
that Christ should suffer ,
he hath so fulfilled .
*
Repent ye therefore ,
and be converted ,
that your sins may be blotted out ,
when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord ;
*
And he shall send Jesus Christ ,
which before was preached unto you :
*
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things ,
which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began .
*
For Moses truly said unto the fathers ,
A prophet 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 .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that every soul ,
which will not hear that prophet ,
shall be destroyed from among the people .
*
Yea ,
and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after ,
as many as have spoken ,
have likewise foretold of these days .
*
Ye are the children of the prophets ,
and of the covenant which God made with our fathers ,
saying unto Abraham ,
And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed .
*
Unto you first God ,
having raised up his Son Jesus ,
sent him to bless you ,
in turning away every one of you from his iniquities .
