Acts 3

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Kefa and Yochanan were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

2 A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Yafeh, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.

3 Seeing Kefa and Yochanan about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.

4 Kefa, fastening his eyes on him, with Yochanan, said, "Look at us."

5 He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.

6 But Kefa said, "Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Yeshua the Messiah of Natzeret, rise and walk!"

7 He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.

8 Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.

9 All the people saw him walking and praising God.

10 They recognized him, that it was he who sat begging for gifts for the needy at the Yafeh Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.

11 As the lame man who was healed held Kefa and Yochanan, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Shlomo's, greatly wondering.

12 When Kefa saw it, he answered to the people, "You men of Yisra'el, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?

13 The God of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya`akov, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Yeshua, whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

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

15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

16 By faith in his name has his name made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

17 "Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

18 But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Messiah should suffer, he thus fulfilled.

19 "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,

20 and that he may send Messiah Yeshua, who was ordained for you before,

21 whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from ancient times.

22 For Moshe indeed said to the fathers, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet to you from among your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.

23 It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'

24 Yes, and all the prophets from Shemu'el and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.

25 You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Avraham, 'In your seed will all the families of the eretz be blessed.'

26 God, having raised up his servant, Yeshua, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."

The Message Bible MSG

1 One day at three o'clock in the afternoon, Peter and John were on their way into the Temple for prayer meeting.

2 At the same time there was a man crippled from birth being carried up. Every day he was set down at the Temple gate, the one named Beautiful, to beg from those going into the Temple.

3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter the Temple, he asked for a handout.

4 Peter, with John at his side, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Look here."

5 He looked up, expecting to get something from them.

6 Peter said, "I don't have a nickel to my name, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!"

7 He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm.

8 He jumped to his feet and walked.

9 Everybody there saw him walking around and praising God.

10 They recognized him as the one who sat begging at the Temple's Gate Beautiful and rubbed their eyes, astonished, scarcely believing what they were seeing.

11 The man threw his arms around Peter and John, ecstatic. All the people ran up to where they were at Solomon's Porch to see it for themselves.

12 When Peter saw he had a congregation, he addressed the people:

13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his Son Jesus. The very One that Pilate called innocent, you repudiated.

14 You repudiated the Holy One, the Just One, and asked for a murderer in his place.

15 You no sooner killed the Author of Life than God raised him from the dead - and we're the witnesses.

16 Faith in Jesus' name put this man, whose condition you know so well, on his feet - yes, faith and nothing but faith put this man healed and whole right before your eyes.

17 "And now, friends, I know you had no idea what you were doing when you killed Jesus, and neither did your leaders.

18 But God, who through the preaching of all the prophets had said all along that his Messiah would be killed, knew exactly what you were doing and used it to fulfill his plans.

19 "Now it's time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you,

20 and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus.

21 For the time being he must remain out of sight in heaven until everything is restored to order again just the way God, through the preaching of his holy prophets of old, said it would be.

22 Moses, for instance, said, 'Your God will raise up for you a prophet just like me from your family. Listen to every word he speaks to you.

23 Every last living soul who refuses to listen to that prophet will be wiped out from the people.'

24 "All the prophets from Samuel on down said the same thing, said most emphatically that these days would come.

25 These prophets, along with the covenant God made with your ancestors, are your family tree. God's covenant-word to Abraham provides the text: 'By your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.'

26 But you are first in line: God, having raised up his Son, sent him to bless you as you turn, one by one, from your evil ways."
