Peter's Speech at Solomon's Colonnade
After healing the lame man, Peter speaks boldly to the people at Solomon's Colonnade about Jesus being the prophet Moses foretold and calls the people to repentance.
Apostlagärningarna 3,11-26
11While he clung to Peter and John, all the people came running together to them in the colonnade called Solomon's, utterly astonished.
Κρατοῦντος δὲ ⸀αὐτοῦ τὸν Πέτρον καὶ ⸀τὸν Ἰωάννην συνέδραμεν ⸂πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς αὐτοὺς⸃ ἐπὶ τῇ στοᾷ τῇ καλουμένῃ Σολομῶντος ἔκθαμβοι.
12When Peter saw this, he said to the people: "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? And why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
ἰδὼν δὲ ⸀ὁ Πέτρος ἀπεκρίνατο πρὸς τὸν λαόν· Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται, τί θαυμάζετε ἐπὶ τούτῳ, ἢ ἡμῖν τί ἀτενίζετε ὡς ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ πεποιηκόσιν τοῦ περιπατεῖν αὐτόν;
13The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and disowned before Pilate, even when he had decided to release him.
ὁ θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ⸂Ἰσαὰκ καὶ⸃ Ἰακώβ, ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ἐδόξασεν τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν, ὃν ὑμεῖς ⸀μὲν παρεδώκατε καὶ ⸀ἠρνήσασθε κατὰ πρόσωπον Πιλάτου, κρίναντος ἐκείνου ἀπολύειν·
14You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be released to you,
ὑμεῖς δὲ τὸν ἅγιον καὶ δίκαιον ἠρνήσασθε καὶ ᾐτήσασθε ἄνδρα φονέα χαρισθῆναι ὑμῖν,
15and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.
τὸν δὲ ἀρχηγὸν τῆς ζωῆς ἀπεκτείνατε, ὃν ὁ θεὸς ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, οὗ ἡμεῖς μάρτυρές ἐσμεν.
16And it is his name, through faith in his name, that has made this man strong, the man you see and know; and the faith that comes through Jesus has given him this complete healing before you all.
καὶ ⸀ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ τοῦτον ὃν θεωρεῖτε καὶ οἴδατε ἐστερέωσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ πίστις ἡ διʼ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν ὁλοκληρίαν ταύτην ἀπέναντι πάντων ὑμῶν.
17And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your rulers.
Καὶ νῦν, ἀδελφοί, οἶδα ὅτι κατὰ ἄγνοιαν ἐπράξατε, ὥσπερ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν·
18But in this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through the mouth of all the prophets: that his Christ would suffer.
ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἃ προκατήγγειλεν διὰ στόματος πάντων τῶν ⸀προφητῶν παθεῖν τὸν χριστὸν ⸀αὐτοῦ ἐπλήρωσεν οὕτως.
19So repent and turn back, that your sins may be wiped out,
μετανοήσατε οὖν καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε ⸀πρὸς τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι ὑμῶν τὰς ἁμαρτίας,
20that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,
ὅπως ἂν ἔλθωσιν καιροὶ ἀναψύξεως ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἀποστείλῃ τὸν προκεχειρισμένον ὑμῖν χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν,
21whom heaven must receive until the time comes for the restoration of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.
ὃν δεῖ οὐρανὸν μὲν δέξασθαι ἄχρι χρόνων ἀποκαταστάσεως πάντων ὧν ἐλάλησεν ὁ θεὸς διὰ ⸀στόματος τῶν ἁγίων ⸂ἀπʼ αἰῶνος αὐτοῦ προφητῶν⸃.
22Moses said: 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. Listen to him in everything he tells you.'
Μωϋσῆς ⸀μὲν εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει κύριος ὁ ⸀θεὸς ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ· αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἂν λαλήσῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
23'And everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be utterly cut off from the people.'
ἔσται δὲ πᾶσα ψυχὴ ἥτις ⸀ἂν μὴ ἀκούσῃ τοῦ προφήτου ἐκείνου ἐξολεθρευθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ.
24Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel onward, all who spoke, also announced these days.
καὶ πάντες δὲ οἱ προφῆται ἀπὸ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν καθεξῆς ὅσοι ἐλάλησαν καὶ κατήγγειλαν τὰς ἡμέρας ταύτας.
25You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when he said to Abraham, 'And in your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.'
ὑμεῖς ἐστε ⸀οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ τῆς διαθήκης ἧς ⸂διέθετο ὁ θεὸς⸃ πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ⸀ὑμῶν, λέγων πρὸς Ἀβραάμ· Καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου ⸀ἐνευλογηθήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ πατριαὶ τῆς γῆς.
26God raised up his servant and sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each of you from your wickedness."
ὑμῖν πρῶτον ⸂ἀναστήσας ὁ θεὸς⸃ τὸν παῖδα ⸀αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν εὐλογοῦντα ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέφειν ἕκαστον ἀπὸ τῶν πονηριῶν ὑμῶν.
