New Testament

Acts 3:5-15 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

5. So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6. Then 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.’

7. Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong.

8. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.

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

10. they recognised 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.

11. While 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.

12. When 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?

13. The 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.

14. You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

15. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.
