Acts 3:8-18

8 And ¹leaping up he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

9 And ²all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10 and 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

11 ³While he clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in ⁴the portico called Solomon's.

12 And 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?

13 ⁵The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, ⁶the God of our fathers, ⁷glorified his servant^[a] Jesus, whom ⁸you delivered over and ⁹denied in the presence of Pilate, ¹⁰when he had decided to release him.

14 But you denied ¹¹the Holy and ¹²Righteous One, and ¹³asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

15 and you killed ¹⁴the Author of life, ¹⁵whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.

16 And ¹⁶his name--by ¹⁷faith in his name--has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is ¹⁸through Jesus^[b] has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.

17 "And now, brothers, I know that ¹⁹you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

18 But what God ²⁰foretold ²¹by the mouth of all the prophets, that ²²his Christ would ²³suffer, he thus fulfilled.
