Acts 3

A lame man healed at the temple

English onlyRead it word by word

Act 3:1Petrus autem et Jōannēs ascendēbant in templum ad hōram ōrātiōnis nōnam.Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth. Act 3:2Et quīdam vir, quī erat claudus ex uterō mātris suae, bājulābātur: quem pōnēbant quotīdiē ad portam templī, quae dīcitur Speciōsa, ut peteret eleēmosynam ab introëuntibus in templum.And a certain man, who was lame from his mother's womb, was being carried: whom they were placing daily at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, so that he might ask for alms from those going into the temple. Act 3:3Is cum vīdisset Petrum et Jōannem incipientēs introīre in templum, rogābat ut eleēmosynam acciperet.He, when he had seen Peter and John beginning to go into the temple, was asking that he might receive alms. Act 3:4Intuēns autem in eum Petrus cum Jōanne, dīxit: Respice in nōs.But Peter, gazing at him with John, said: "Look at us." Act 3:5At ille intendēbat in eōs, spērāns sē aliquid acceptūrum ab eīs.And he was attending to them, hoping that he would receive something from them. Act 3:6Petrus autem dīxit: Argentum et aurum nōn est mihi: quod autem habeō, hoc tibi dō: in nōmine Jēsū Chrīstī Nazarēnī surge, et ambulā.But Peter said: "Silver and gold there is not for me: but what I have, this I give to you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene rise, and walk."

Act 3:7Et apprehēnsā manū ejus dexterā, allevāvit eum, et prōtinus cōnsolidātae sunt basēs ejus et plantae.And his right hand having been grasped, he lifted him up, and immediately his feet and soles were made firm. Act 3:8Et exiliēns stetit, et ambulābat: et intrāvit cum illīs in templum ambulāns, et exiliēns, et laudāns Deum.And leaping up he stood, and was walking: and he went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. Act 3:9Et vīdit omnis populus eum ambulantem et laudantem Deum.And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Act 3:10Cognōscēbant autem illum, quod ipse erat quī ad eleēmosynam sedēbat ad Speciōsam portam templī: et implētī sunt stupōre et extasī in eō quod contigerat illī.And they recognized him, that he was the one who used to sit for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with amazement and astonishment at what had happened to him. Act 3:11Cum tenēret autem Petrum et Jōannem, cucurrit omnis populus ad eōs ad porticum quae appellātur Salomōnis, stupentēs.But while he was holding Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon's, stunned.

Act 3:12Vidēns autem Petrus, respondit ad populum: Virī Isrāëlītae, quid mīrāminī in hōc, aut nōs quid intuēminī, quasi nostrā virtūte aut potestāte fēcerīmus hunc ambulāre?But Peter, seeing it, answered to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or authority we had made this man walk? Act 3:13Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrōrum glōrificāvit fīlium suum Jēsum, quem vōs quidem trādidistis, et negāstis ante faciem Pīlātī, jūdicante illō dīmittī.The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers has glorified his son Jesus, whom you indeed handed over, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he was judging that he be released. Act 3:14Vōs autem sānctum et jūstum negāstis, et petīstis virum homicīdam dōnārī vōbīs: auctōrem vērō vītae interfēcistis, quem Deus suscitāvit ā mortuīs, cujus nōs testēs sumus.But you denied the holy and just one, and asked for a man who was a murderer to be granted to you: but the author of life you killed, whom God raised up from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

Act 3:16Et in fidē nōminis ejus, hunc quem vōs vīdistis et nōstis, cōnfirmāvit nōmen ejus: et fidēs, quae per eum est, dedit integram sānitātem istam in cōnspectū omnium vestrum.And in faith in his name, this man whom you have seen and know, his name has made strong: and the faith, which is through him, has given this complete soundness in the sight of all of you. Act 3:17Et nunc, frātrēs, sciō quia per ignōrantiam fēcistis, sīcut et prīncipēs vestrī.And now, brothers, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did your rulers too. Act 3:18Deus autem, quae praenūntiāvit per ōs omnium prophētārum, patī Chrīstum suum, sīc implēvit.But God, the things which he foretold through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, has thus fulfilled. Act 3:19Poenitēminī igitur et convertiminī, ut dēleantur peccāta vestra: ut cum vēnerint tempora refrīgeriī ā cōnspectū Dominī, et mīserit eum quī praedicātus est vōbīs, Jēsum Chrīstum, quem oportet quidem caelum suscipere ūsque in tempora restitūtiōnis omnium quae locūtus est Deus per ōs sānctōrum suōrum ā saeculō prophētārum.Repent therefore and be converted, so that your sins may be wiped out: so that, when the times of refreshment come from the presence of the Lord, he may also send him who was preached to you, Jesus Christ, whom heaven indeed must receive until the times of the restoration of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old.

Act 3:22Mōysēs quidem dīxit: Quoniam prophētam suscitābit vōbīs Dominus Deus vester dē frātribus vestrīs, tamquam mē: ipsum audiētis jūxtā omnia quaecumque locūtus fuerit vōbīs.Moses indeed said: 'A prophet will the Lord your God raise up for you from your brothers, like me: him you will hear in all things whatever he speaks to you. Act 3:23Erit autem: omnis anima quae nōn audierit prophētam illum, exterminābitur dē plēbe.And it will be: every soul which does not hear that prophet will be destroyed out of the people.' Act 3:24Et omnēs prophētae, ā Samuēl et deinceps, quī locūtī sunt, annūntiāvērunt diēs istōs.And all the prophets, from Samuel and onwards, who have spoken, have announced these days. Act 3:25Vōs estis fīliī prophētārum, et testāmentī quod disposuit Deus ad patrēs nostrōs, dīcēns ad Abraham: Et in sēmine tuō benedīcentur omnēs familiae terrae.You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God arranged with our fathers, saying to Abraham: 'And in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.' Act 3:26Vōbīs prīmum Deus suscitāns fīlium suum, mīsit eum benedīcentem vōbīs: ut convertat sē ūnusquisque ā nēquitiā suā.To you first God, raising up his son, sent him blessing you: so that each one may turn himself from his wickedness."
