Acts

圣殿门口的瘸腿者得医治

1申初祷告的时候，彼得、约翰上圣殿去。

2有一个人，生来是瘸腿的，天天被人抬来，放在殿的一个门口（那门名叫美门），要求进殿的人周济。

3他看见彼得、约翰将要进殿，就求他们周济。

4彼得、约翰定睛看他；彼得说：「你看我们！」

5那人就留意看他们，指望得着什么。

6彼得说：「金银我都没有，只把我所有的给你：我奉拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名，叫你起来行走！」

7于是拉着他的右手，扶他起来；他的脚和踝子骨立刻健壮了，

8就跳起来，站着，又行走，同他们进了殿，走着，跳着，赞美 神。

9百姓都看见他行走，赞美 神；

10认得他是那素常坐在殿的美门口求周济的，就因他所遇着的事满心希奇、惊讶。

彼得在所罗门廊下的讲论

11那人正在称为所罗门的廊下，拉着彼得、约翰；众百姓一齐跑到他们那里，很觉希奇。

12彼得看见，就对百姓说：「以色列人哪，为什么把这事当作希奇呢？为什么定睛看我们，以为我们凭自己的能力和虔诚使这人行走呢？

13亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的 神，就是我们列祖的 神，已经荣耀了他的仆人耶稣；你们却把他交付彼拉多。彼拉多定意要释放他，你们竟在彼拉多面前弃绝了他。

14你们弃绝了那圣洁公义者，反求着释放一个凶手给你们。

15你们杀了那生命的主， 神却叫他从死里复活了；我们都是为这事作见证。

16我们因信他的名，他的名便叫你们所看见所认识的这人健壮了；正是他所赐的信心，叫这人在你们众人面前全然好了。

17弟兄们，我晓得你们做这事是出于不知，你们的官长也是如此。

18但 神曾借众先知的口，预言基督将要受害，就这样应验了。

19所以，你们当悔改归正，使你们的罪得以涂抹，

20这样，那安舒的日子就必从主面前来到；主也必差遣所预定给你们的基督（耶稣）降临。

21天必留他，等到万物复兴的时候，就是 神从创世以来、借着圣先知的口所说的。

22摩西曾说：『主— 神要从你们弟兄中间给你们兴起一位先知像我，凡他向你们所说的，你们都要听从。

23凡不听从那先知的，必要从民中全然灭绝。』

24从撒母耳以来的众先知，凡说预言的，也都说到这些日子。

25你们是先知的子孙，也承受 神与你们祖宗所立的约，就是对亚伯拉罕说：『地上万族都要因你的后裔得福。』

26神既兴起他的仆人，就先差他到你们这里来，赐福给你们，叫你们各人回转，离开罪恶。」

1And Peter and John were going up at the same time to the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour],

2and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,

3who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.

4And Peter, having looked stedfastly toward him with John, said, 'Look toward us;'

5and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;

6and Peter said, 'Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.'

7And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and presently his feet and ankles were strengthened,

8and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;

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

10they were knowing him also that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath happened to him.

11And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch called Solomon's — greatly amazed,

12and Peter having seen, answered unto the people, 'Men, Israelites! why wonder ye at this? or on us why look ye so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?

13'The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release [him],

14and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man — a murderer — to be granted to you,

15and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

16and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that [is] through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

17'And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance ye did [it], as also your rulers;

18and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

19reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

20and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached to you,

21whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

22'For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said — A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you;

23and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people;

24and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.

25'Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall be blessed all the families of the earth;

26to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, did send him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.'
