  Acts 4:1-12 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,   greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.     And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.     But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.   On the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,   with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family.     And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?”     Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,     if we are being exami...

  Acts 3:17-26 “And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.     But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled.   Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,   that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,   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.     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.     And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’     And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him,...

  Acts 3:11-16 While he clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico called Solomon's.   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?   The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.     But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,   and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.     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 has given the man this perfect health in the...

  Acts 3:1-10 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.   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.     Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms.     And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.”     And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.     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!”     And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.     And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. ...
