1Now Peter and John were going up together to the temple complex at the hour of prayer at three in the afternoon.1One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer--at three in the afternoon.
2And a man who was lame from birth was carried there and placed every day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so he could beg from those entering the temple complex.2Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.
3When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple complex, he asked for help. 3When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.
4Peter, along with John, looked at him intently and said, "Look at us." 4Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!"
5So he turned to them, expecting to get something from them. 5So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
6But Peter said, "I don't have silver or gold, but what I have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!"6Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."
7Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong. 7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.
8So he jumped up, stood, and started to walk, and he entered the temple complex with them--walking, leaping, and praising God.8He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.
9All the people saw him walking and praising God, 9When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10and they recognized that he was the one who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the temple complex. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him. 10they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11While he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people, greatly amazed, ran toward them in what is called Solomon's Colonnade.11While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade.
12When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Or why do you stare at us, as though we had made him walk by our own power or godliness? 12When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
13The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.13The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.

You must listen to Him in everything He will say to you.22For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.
23And everyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be completely cut off from the people." 23Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.'

He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.'
26God raised up His Servant and sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways." 26When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways."
