The Lame Beggar Healed

1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.^[1] (1Ki 18:29; Ps 55:17; Mt 27:46; Lu 18:10; Ac 10:3; Ac 10:30)

1Ki 18:29Ps 55:17Mt 27:46Lu 18:10Ac 10:3Ac 10:30

2 And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. (Lu 16:20; Joh 9:8; Ac 14:8) 3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. 4 And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” (Ac 9:34; 2Co 6:10) 7 And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8 And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. (Isa 35:6; Ac 14:10) 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God, (Ac 4:16; Ac 4:21) 10 and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Peter Speaks in Solomon’s Portico

11 While he clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s. (Joh 10:23; Ac 4:14; Ac 5:12) 12 And when Peter saw it he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk? 13 The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant^[2] Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. (Isa 52:13; Isa 55:5; Mt 20:19; Mt 22:32; Lu 23:14; Lu 23:16; Joh 8:54; Joh 19:7; Joh 19:12; Joh 19:15; Ac 5:30; Ac 7:32; Ac 13:28; Ac 22:14)

14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, (Mr 1:24; Lu 23:18; Lu 23:25; Ac 4:27; Ac 4:30; Ac 7:52; Ac 22:14; Jas 5:6; 1Pe 3:18; 1Jo 2:1; 1Jo 3:7)

15 and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. (Ac 2:24; Ac 5:31) 16 And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus^[3] has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all. (Joh 1:12; Ac 3:6; 1Pe 1:21) 17 “And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. (Lu 23:34; Joh 16:3; Ac 13:27; Ac 26:9; 1Co 2:8; 1Ti 1:13)

18 But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. (Mt 17:12; Lu 9:20; Lu 22:15; Lu 24:26; Lu 24:46; Ac 2:23; Ac 17:3; Ac 26:22; Heb 2:10; Heb 13:12)

19 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, (Ps 51:1; Ps 51:9; Isa 43:25; Isa 44:22; Lu 22:32; Ac 2:38; Col 2:14)

20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, (Ac 22:14; Ac 26:16) 21 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. (Mt 17:11; Lu 1:70; Lu 24:26; Ac 1:11; Ro 8:21)

Mt 17:11Lu 1:70Lu 24:26Ac 1:11Ro 8:21

22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. (De 18:15; De 18:18; Mt 17:5; Ac 7:37)

De 18:15De 18:18Mt 17:5Ac 7:37

23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’ (Le 23:29) 24 And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. (1Sa 3:20; Ac 13:20; Heb 11:32) 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ (Ge 12:3; Ge 22:18; Ac 2:39; Ro 9:4)

26 God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.” (Eze 3:19; Mt 1:21; Mr 7:27; Ac 3:22; Ac 3:25; Ro 1:16; Ro 2:9; Ro 11:26; Ro 15:8)

الكتاب المقدس

بطرس يشفي كسيحاً

1 وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ذَهَبَ بُطْرُسُ وَيُوحَنَّا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ لِصَلاةِ السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ. 2 وَعِنْدَ بَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي يُسَمَّى الْبَابَ الْجَمِيلَ، كَانَ يَجْلِسُ رَجُلٌ كَسِيحٌ مُنْذُ وِلادَتِهِ، يَحْمِلُونَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَيَضَعُونَهُ هُنَاكَ لِيَطْلُبَ صَدَقَةً مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْهَيْكَلَ. 3 فَلَمَّا رَأَى بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا دَاخِلَيْنِ، طَلَبَ مِنْهُمَا صَدَقَةً، 4 فَنَظَرَا إِلَيْهِ مَلِيًّا، وَقَالَ لَهُ بُطْرُسُ: «انْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا!» 5 فَتَعَلَّقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِهِمَا، مُنْتَظِراً أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَا عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ. 6 فَقَالَ بُطْرُسُ: «لا فِضَّةَ عِنْدِي وَلا ذَهَبَ، وَلَكِنِّي أُعْطِيكَ مَا عِنْدِي: بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ النَّاصِرِيِّ قُمْ وَامْشِ!» 7 وَأَمْسَكَهُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَأَقَامَهُ، فَدَبَّتِ الْقُوَّةُ حَالاً فِي رِجْلَيْهِ وَكَعْبَيْهِ، 8 فَوَقَفَ قَافِزاً وَبَدَأَ يَمْشِي، وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُمَا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي وَيَقْفِزُ فَرَحاً وَيُسَبِّحُ اللهَ. 9 وَرَآهُ جَمِيعُ الْحَاضِرِينَ مَاشِياً يُسَبِّحُ اللهَ، 10 وَعَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ الْمُسْتَعْطِي الْكَسِيحُ الَّذِي تَعَوَّدَ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ أَمَامَ الْبَابِ الْجَمِيلِ، فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الدَّهْشَةُ وَالْحَيْرَةُ مِمَّا حَدَثَ لَهُ!

عظة بطرس في الهيكل

11 وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ فِي قَاعَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ الْمَعْرُوفَةِ بِقَاعَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ مُلازِماً بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا، أَسْرَعَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ وَاجْتَمَعُوا حَوْلَهُمْ مَدْهُوشِينَ، 12 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُطْرُسُ إِذْ رَأَى ذلِكَ: «يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِمَاذَا تَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِمَّا حَدَثَ، وَلِمَاذَا تُحَدِّقُونَ إِلَيْنَا كَأَنَّنَا بِقُدْرَتِنَا أَوْ بِتَقْوَانَا جَعَلْنَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ يَمْشِي؟ 13 إِنَّ إِلهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، إِلهَ آبَائِنَا، قَدْ مَجَّدَ فَتَاهُ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي أَسْلَمْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ وَأَنْكَرْتُمُوهُ أَمَامَ بِيلاطُسَ، فِي حِينِ كَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُ. 14 أَنْتُمْ أَنْكَرْتُمُ الْقُدُّوسَ الْبَارَّ وَطَلَبْتُمُ الْعَفْوَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَاتِلٍ، 15 وَقَتَلْتُمْ وَاهِبَ الْحَيَاةِ. وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ لِذَلِكَ. 16 وَبِفَضْلِ الإِيمَانِ بِاسْمِهِ، أَعَادَ اسْمُهُ الْقُوَّةَ إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي تَرَوْنَهُ وَتَعْرِفُونَهُ. فَالإِيمَانُ بِيَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ هذِهِ الصِّحَّةَ الْكَامِلَةَ بِمَشْهَدٍ مِنْكُمْ جَمِيعاً. 17 إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَنَّكُمْ وَرُؤَسَاءَكُمْ عَامَلْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ بِجَهْلٍ، 18 وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَتَمَّ بِذَلِكَ مَا كَانَ قَدْ أَوْحَى بِهِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ مِنْ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ سَيُلاقِي الآلامَ. 19 فَتُوبُوا وَارْجِعُوا لِيَمْحُوَ اللهُ خَطَايَاكُمْ، 20 وَتَأْتِيَكُمْ أَيَّامُ الْفَرَجِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ، إِذْ يُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكُمْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ ثَانِيَةً، الَّذِي سَبَقَ أَنْ عَيَّنَهُ لَكُمْ، 21 إِذْ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَبْقَى الْمَسِيحُ فِي السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الزَّمَنُ الَّذِي يَتِمُّ فِيهِ الإِصْلاحُ الشَّامِلُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ كَمَا أَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِ الأَتْقِيَاءِ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ. 22 وَقَدْ قَالَ مُوسَى: سَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ فِيكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ نَبِيًّا مِثْلِي فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَا يُكَلِّمُكُمْ بِهِ. 23 أَمَّا مَنْ لَا يَسْمَعْ لَهُ فَسَيُبَادُ مِنْ وَسَطِ الشَّعْبِ. 24 وَكَذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأَ بِهذِهِ الأَزْمِنَةِ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، مِنْ صَمُوئِيلَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بَعْدَهُ. 25 وَأَنْتُمْ أَحْفَادُ هَؤُلاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَأَبْنَاءُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ اللهُ لِآبَائِنَا عِنْدَمَا قَالَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ: بِنَسْلِكَ تَنَالُ الْبَرَكَةَ شُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ كُلُّهَا. 26 فَمِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَوَّلاً أَقَامَ اللهُ فَتَاهُ يَسُوعَ وَأَرْسَلَهُ لِيُبَارِكَكُمْ بِرَدِّ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ شُرُورِهِ».
