1禱告的時候,彼得、約翰上聖殿去。One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

2有一個人,生來是瘸腿的,天天被人抬來,放在殿的一個門口(那門名叫),要求進殿的人。And 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 entering the temple courts.

3他看見彼得、約翰將要進殿,就求他們賙濟。When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

4彼得、約翰定睛看他;彼得說:「你看我們!」Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us!” said Peter.

5那人就留意看他們,指望得著甚麼。So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

6彼得說:「金銀我都沒有,只把我所有的給你:我奉拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名,叫你起來行走!」But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

7於是拉著他的右手,扶他起來;他的腳和立刻健壯了,Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

8就跳起來,站著,又行走,同他們進了殿,走著,跳著,讚美 神。He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.

9百姓都看見他行走,讚美 神;When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10認得他是那素常坐在殿的美門口求賙濟的,就因他所遇著的事滿心希奇、驚訝。they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

11那人正在稱為下,拉著彼得、約翰;眾百姓一齊跑到他們那裡,很覺希奇。While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.

12彼得看見,就對百姓說:「以色列人哪,為甚麼把這事當作希奇呢?為甚麼定睛看我們,以為我們憑自己的能力和虔誠使這人行走呢?And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

13亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的 神,就是我們列祖的 神,已經榮耀了他的(或譯:兒子)耶穌;你們卻把他交付彼拉多。彼拉多定意要釋放他,你們竟在彼拉多面前棄絕了他。The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

14你們棄絕了那聖潔公義者,反求著釋放一個兇手給你們。You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

15你們殺了那, 神卻叫他從死裡復活了;我們都是為這事作見證。You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

16我們因信他的名,他的名便叫你們所看見所認識的這人健壯了;正是他所賜的信心,叫這人在你們眾人面前全然好了。By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.

17弟兄們,我曉得你們做這事是,你們的官長也是如此。And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

18但神曾藉眾先知的口,預言基督將要受害,就這樣應驗了。But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.

19所以,你們當,使你們的罪得以,Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,

20這樣,那的日子就必從主面前來到;主也必差遣所預定給你們的基督(耶穌)降臨。that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.

21天必留他,等到的時候,就是 神從創世以來、藉著聖先知的口所說的。Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.

22摩西曾說:『主─ 神要從你們弟兄中間給你們興起,凡他向你們所說的,你們都要聽從。For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.

23凡不聽從那先知的,必要從民中全然滅絕。』Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’

24從撒母耳以來的眾先知,凡說預言的,也都說到這些日子。Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.

25你們是先知的子孫,也承受 神與你們祖宗所立的約,就是對亞伯拉罕說:『地上萬族都要因你的後裔得福。』And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

26神既興起他的僕人(或譯:兒子),就先差他到你們這裡來,賜福給你們,叫你們各人回轉,離開罪惡。」When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
