Acts 3
|
| Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, [being] the ninth [hour]. | Now Peter and John were going up to the Temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer; |
| And a certain man that was lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; | And a certain man who from birth had had no power in his legs, was taken there every day, and put down at the door of the Temple which is named Beautiful, requesting money from those who went into the Temple; |
| who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. | He then, seeing Peter and John going into the Temple, made a request to them. |
| And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us. | And Peter, looking at him, with John, said, Keep your eyes on us. |
| And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them. | And he gave attention to them, hoping to get something from them. |
| But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. | But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up on your feet. |
| And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength. | And he took him by his right hand, lifting him up; and straight away his feet and the bones of his legs became strong, |
| And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. | And, jumping up, he got on to his feet and went into the Temple with them, walking and jumping and giving praise to God. |
| And all the people saw him walking and praising God: | And all the people saw him walking and praising God: |
| and they took knowledge of him, that it was he that 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 they saw that it was the man who made requests for money at the door of the Temple, and they were full of wonder and surprise at what had taken place. |
| And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. | And while he kept his hands on Peter and John, all the people came running together to the covered way which is named Solomon's, full of wonder. |
| And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk? | And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs? |
| The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. | The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has given glory to his servant Jesus; whom you gave up, turning your backs on him, when Pilate had made the decision to let him go free. |
| But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you, | But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you, |
| and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. | And put to death the Lord of life; whom God gave back from the dead; of which fact we are witnesses. |
| And by faith in his name hath his name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is through him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. | And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and have knowledge of: yes, the faith which is through him has made him well, before you all. |
| And now, brethren, I know that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. | And now, my brothers, I am conscious that you did this, as did your rulers, without knowledge. |
| But the things which God foreshowed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled. | But the things which God had made clear before, by the mouth of all the prophets, that the Christ would have to undergo, he has put into effect in this way. |
| Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord; | So then, let your hearts be changed and be turned to God, so that your sins may be completely taken away, and times of blessing may come from the Lord; |
| and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, [even] Jesus: | And that he may send the Christ who was marked out for you from the first, even Jesus: |
| whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of His holy prophets that have been from of old. | Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times. |
| Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me. To him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you. | For Moses said, The Lord will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to everything which he will say to you. |
| And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. | And every soul who does not give attention to that prophet, will be cut off from among the people. |
| Yea and all the prophets from Samuel and them that followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days. | And all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after, every one of them, gave word of these days. |
| Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. | You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, Through your seed a blessing will come on all the families of the earth. |
| Unto you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities. | To you, first, God sent his servant, blessing you by turning every one of you from his sins. |
