CHAP. III.

Peter preaching to the people that came to see a lame man restored to his feete, 12 professeth the cure not to haue beene wrought by his, or Iohns owne power, or holinesse, but by God, and his sonne Iesus, and through faith in his Name: 13 Withall reprehending them for crucifying Iesus. 17 Which because they did it through ignorance, and that thereby were fulfilled Gods determinate counsell, and the Scriptures: 19 He exhorteth them by repentance and faith to seeke remission of their sinnes, and saluation in the same Iesus.

¹ Nowe Peter and Iohn went vp together into the Temple at the houre of prayer, beeing the ninth houre.

² And a certaine man lame from his mothers womb was caried, whom they laide daily at the gate of the Temple which is called Beautifull, to aske almes of them that entred into the Temple.

³ Who seeing Peter & Iohn about to go into the Temple, asked an almes.

⁴ And Peter fastening his eyes vpon him, with Iohn, said, Looke on vs.

⁵ And he gaue heede vnto them, expecting to receiue something of them.

⁶ Then Peter said, Siluer and gold haue I none, but such as I haue, giue I thee: In the Name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth, rise vp and walke.

⁷ And hee tooke him by the right hand, & lift him vp: aud immediatly his feete and ancle bones receiued strength.

⁸ And hee leaping vp, stood, and walked, and entred 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 hee which sate for almes at the beautifull gate of the Temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened vnto him.

¹¹ And as the lame man which was healed, helde Peter and Iohn, all the people ranne together vnto them in the porch, that is called Solomons, greatly wondring.

¹² ¶ And when Peter sawe it, hee answered vnto the people, Yee men of Israel, why marueile ye at this? or why looke yee so earnestly on vs, as though by our owne power or holinesse we had made this man to walke?
