Acts 3:5-15

5 And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: 1In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene -walk!"
7 And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.
8 2With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And 3all the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 and they were taking note of him as being the one who used to 4sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Peter's Second Sermon

11 While he was clinging to 5Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called 6portico of Solomon, full of amazement.
12 But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?
13 "7The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, 8the God of our fathers, has glorified His 9servant Jesus, the one whom 10you delivered and disowned in the presence of 11Pilate, when he had 12decided to release Him.
14 "But you disowned 13the Holy and Righteous One and 14asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
15 but put to death the 15Prince of life, the one whom 16God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are 17witnesses.
