all things common;
45
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all
men,
as every
man had need.
46
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread
from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47
Praising God, and
having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
CHAPTER 3
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer,
being
the ninth
hour.
2
And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of
the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3
Who seeing
Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him
with John, said, Look on us.
5
And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of
them.
6
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted
him
up:
and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength.
8
And he leaping up stood, and walked,
and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9
And all the people
saw him walking and praising God:
10
And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the
Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had
happened unto him.
11
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people
ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
12
And when Peter saw
it,
he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this?
or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man
to walk?
13
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified
his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was
determined to let
him
go.
14
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be
granted unto you;
15
And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof
we are witnesses.
16
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye
see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence
of you all.
17
And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did
it,
as
did
also your rulers.
18
But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ
should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of
refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20
And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before
was preached unto you:
21
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things,
which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22
For Moses
truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren,
like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23
And it shall come
