| 2And 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; | 2Now a man who had been crippled from birth was being carried in. Every day people would lay him at what was called the Beautiful Gate so that he could beg from those who were going into the Temple. |
| 3Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. | 3When he saw that Peter and John were about to go into the Temple, he asked them to give him something. |

| 6Then 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. | 6However, Peter said, "I don't have any silver or gold, but I'll give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus the Messiah from Nazareth, walk!" |
| 7And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength. | 7Then Peter took hold of his right hand and began to help him up. Immediately his feet and ankles became strong, |
| 8And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. | 8and he sprang to his feet, stood up, and began to walk. Then he went with them into the Temple, walking, jumping, and praising God. |
| 9And all the people saw him walking and praising God: | 9When all the people saw him walking and praising God, |
| 10And 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. | 10they knew that he was the man who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. |
| 11And 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. | 11While he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people came running to them in what was called "Solomon's Colonnade". They were dumbfounded. |
| 12And 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? | 12When Peter saw this, he told the people: "Fellow Israelis, why are you wondering about this, and why are you staring at us as if by our own power or godliness we made him walk? |
| 13The 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. | 13The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of our ancestors—has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you betrayed and rejected in the presence of Pilate, even though he had decided to let him go. |

| 18But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. | 18This is how God fulfilled what he had predicted through the voice of all the prophets—that his Messiah would suffer. |

| 20And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: | 20so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord and so that he may send you Jesus, whom he appointed long ago to be the Messiah. |

| 22For 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. | 22In fact, Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you. |
