Acts 3:9-17

⁹Everyone there saw him walking around and praising God.

¹⁰They recognized him as the beggar who used to sit by the Temple's Beautiful Gate, and they were surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.

¹¹He held on tightly to Peter and John while everyone ran to them by Solomon's Porch in complete astonishment at what had happened.

¹²When Peter saw this opportunity he told them, “People of Israel, why are you surprised at what's happened to this man? Why are you staring at us as if it was by our own power or faith that we made him walk?

¹³The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of our forefathers—has glorified his servant Jesus. He was the one you betrayed and rejected in the presence of Pilate, even after Pilate had decided to release him.

¹⁴You rejected the one who is holy and good, and demanded a murderer be released to you.

¹⁵You killed the author of life, the one God raised from the dead—and we are witnesses to this.

¹⁶By trusting in Jesus' name this man was healed by him. You see this man here; you know him. Through trusting in Jesus this man has received complete healing right in front of all of you.

¹⁷Now I know, brothers and sisters, that you did this in ignorance, like your rulers.
