Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Acts 3:1-7 “3 And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [which is] the ninth [hour];2 and a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they placed every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were going into the temple;3 who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.4 And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.5 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.6 But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.7 And having taken hold of him [by] the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong.”
Acts 3:12-16 “12 And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom *ye* delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when *he* had judged that he should be let go.14 But *ye* denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;15 but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [the] dead, whereof *we* are witnesses.16 And, by faith in his name, his name has made this [man] strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.”
