9 The people there saw him walking and praising God,
10 and when they recognized him as the beggar who had sat at the Beautiful Gate, they were all surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.
11 As the man held on to Peter and John in Solomon's Porch, as it was called, the people were amazed and ran to them.
12 When Peter saw the people, he said to them, “Fellow-Israelites, why are you surprised at this, and why do you stare at us? Do you think that it was by means of our own power or godliness that we made this man walk?
13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has given divine glory to his Servant Jesus. But you handed him over to the authorities, and you rejected him in Pilate's presence, even after Pilate had decided to set him free.
14 He was holy and good, but you rejected him, and instead you asked Pilate to do you the favour of turning loose a murderer.
15 You killed the one who leads to life, but God raised him from death — and we are witnesses to this.
