Acts 3:7-17

7 And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.
8 1With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And 2all the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 and they were taking note of him as being the one who used to 3sit 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 4Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called 5portico 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 "6The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, 7the God of our fathers, has glorified His 8servant Jesus, the one whom 9you delivered and disowned in the presence of 10Pilate, when he had 11decided to release Him.
14 "But you disowned 12the Holy and Righteous One and 13asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
15 but put to death the 14Prince of life, the one whom 15God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are 16witnesses.
16 "And on the basis of faith 17in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.
17 "And now, brethren, I know that you acted 18in ignorance, just as your 19rulers did also.
