1 Peter and John 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 Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple. 3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy. 4 Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us." 5 He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up 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 used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. 11 As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

12 When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, 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 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence 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, to which we are witnesses. 16 By faith in his name, his name has 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 Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.

19 "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets. 22 For Moses indeed said to the fathers, ‘The Lord God will raise up a prophet for 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 Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, also told of these days. 25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘All the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring.’ 26 God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness."

1 E Pedro e João subiam juntos ao templo à hora da oração, a nona.

2 E era trazido um homem que desde o ventre de sua mãe era coxo, o qual todos os dias punham à porta do templo, chamada Formosa, para pedir esmola aos que entravam.

3 O qual, vendo a Pedro e a João que iam entrando no templo, pediu que lhe dessem uma esmola.

4 E Pedro, com João, fitando os olhos nele, disse: Olha para nós.

5 E olhou para eles, esperando receber deles alguma coisa.

6 E disse Pedro: Não tenho prata nem ouro; mas o que tenho isso te dou. Em nome de Jesus Cristo, o Nazareno, levanta-te e anda.

7 E, tomando-o pela mão direita, o levantou, e logo os seus pés e artelhos se firmaram.

8 E, saltando ele, pôs-se em pé, e andou, e entrou com eles no templo, andando, e saltando, e louvando a Deus.

9 E todo o povo o viu andar e louvar a Deus;

10 E conheciam-no, pois era ele o que se assentava a pedir esmola à porta Formosa do templo; e ficaram cheios de pasmo e assombro, pelo que lhe acontecera.

11 E, apegando-se o coxo, que fora curado, a Pedro e João, todo o povo correu atônito para junto deles, ao alpendre chamado de Salomão.

12 E quando Pedro viu isto, disse ao povo: Homens israelitas, por que vos maravilhais disto? Ou, por que olhais tanto para nós, como se por nossa própria virtude ou santidade fizéssemos andar este homem?

13 O Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Jacó, o Deus de nossos pais, glorificou a seu filho Jesus, a quem vós entregastes e perante a face de Pilatos negastes, tendo ele determinado que fosse solto.

14 Mas vós negastes o Santo e o Justo, e pedistes que se vos desse um homem homicida.

15 E matastes o Príncipe da vida, ao qual Deus ressuscitou dentre os mortos, do que nós somos testemunhas.

16 E pela fé no seu nome fez o seu nome fortalecer a este que vedes e conheceis; sim, a fé que vem por ele, deu a este, na presença de todos vós, esta perfeita saúde.

17 E agora, irmãos, eu sei que o fizestes por ignorância, como também os vossos príncipes.

18 Mas Deus assim cumpriu o que já dantes pela boca de todos os seus profetas havia anunciado; que o Cristo havia de padecer.

19 Arrependei-vos, pois, e convertei-vos, para que sejam apagados os vossos pecados, e venham assim os tempos do refrigério pela presença do Senhor,

20 E envie ele a Jesus Cristo, que já dantes vos foi pregado.

21 O qual convém que o céu contenha até aos tempos da restauração de tudo, dos quais Deus falou pela boca de todos os seus santos profetas, desde o princípio.

22 Porque Moisés disse aos pais: O Senhor vosso Deus levantará de entre vossos irmãos um profeta semelhante a mim; a ele ouvireis em tudo quanto vos disser.

23 E acontecerá que toda a alma que não escutar esse profeta será exterminada dentre o povo.

24 Sim, e todos os profetas, desde Samuel, todos quantos depois falaram, também predisseram estes dias.

25 Vós sois os filhos dos profetas e da aliança que Deus fez com nossos pais, dizendo a Abraão: Na tua descendência serão benditas todas as famílias da terra.

26 Ressuscitando Deus a seu Filho Jesus, primeiro o enviou a vós, para que nisso vos abençoasse, no apartar, a cada um de vós, das vossas maldades.
