RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And Peter and John were going up at the same time into the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour],

1 PEDRO y Juan subían juntos al templo á la hora de oración, la de nona.

2 and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,

2 Y un hombre que era cojo desde el vientre de su madre, era traído; al cual ponían cada día á la puerta del templo que se llama la Hermosa, para que pidiese limosna de los que entraban en el templo.

3 who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.

3 Este, como vió á Pedro y á Juan que iban á entrar en el templo, rogaba que le diesen limosna.

4 And Peter, having looked steadfastly toward him with John, said, “Look toward us”;

4 Y Pedro, con Juan, fijando los ojos en él, dijo: Mira á nosotros.

5 and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;

5 Entonces él estuvo atento á ellos, esperando recibir de ellos algo.

6 and Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I have, that I give to you; in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.”

6 Y Pedro dijo: Ni tengo plata ni oro; mas lo que tengo te doy: en el nombre de Jesucristo de Nazaret, levántate y anda.

7 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and instantly his feet and ankles were strengthened,

7 Y tomándole por la mano derecha le levantó: y luego fueron afirmados sus pies y tobillos;

8 and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and entered with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;

8 Y saltando, se puso en pie, y anduvo; y entró con ellos en el templo, andando, y saltando, y alabando á Dios.

9 and all the people saw him walking and praising God,

9 Y todo el pueblo le vió andar y alabar á Dios.

10 and they knew him, that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what has happened to him.

10 Y conocían que él era el que se sentaba á la limosna á la puerta del templo, la Hermosa: y fueron llenos de asombro y de espanto por lo que le había acontecido.

11 And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon’s—greatly amazed,

11 Y teniendo á Pedro y á Juan el cojo que había sido sanado, todo el pueblo concurrió á ellos al pórtico que se llama de Salomón, atónitos.

12 and Peter having seen, answered to the people, “Men, Israelites! Why do you wonder at this? Or why do you look on us so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?

12 Y viendo esto Pedro, respondió al pueblo: Varones Israelitas, ¿por qué os maravilláis de esto? ó ¿por qué ponéis los ojos en nosotros, como si con nuestra virtud ó piedad hubiésemos hecho andar á éste?

13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His child Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release [Him],

13 El Dios de Abraham, y de Isaac, y de Jacob, el Dios de nuestros padres ha glorificado á su Hijo Jesús, al cual vosotros entregasteis, y negasteis delante de Pilato, juzgando él que había de ser suelto.

14 and you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,

14 Mas vosotros al Santo y al Justo negasteis, y pedisteis que se os diese un homicida;

15 and the Prince of life you killed, whom God raised out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

15 Y matasteis al Autor de la vida, al cual Dios ha resucitado de los muertos; de lo que nosotros somos testigos.

16 and on the faith of His Name, this one whom you see and have known, His Name made strong, even the faith that [is] through Him gave to him this perfect soundness before you all.

16 Y en la fe de su nombre, á éste que vosotros veis y conocéis, ha confirmado su nombre: y la fe que por él es, ha dado á éste esta completa sanidad en presencia de todos vosotros.

17 And now, brothers, I have known that through ignorance you did [it], as also your rulers;

17 Mas ahora, hermanos, sé que por ignorancia lo habéis hecho, como también vuestros príncipes.

18 and God, what things He had declared before through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He thus fulfilled;

18 Empero Dios ha cumplido así lo que había antes anunciado por boca de todos sus profetas, que su Cristo había de padecer.

19 convert, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the LORD,

19 Así que, arrepentíos y convertíos, para que sean borrados vuestros pecados; pues que vendrán los tiempos del refrigerio de la presencia del Señor,

20 and He may send Jesus Christ who before has been preached to you,

20 Y enviará á Jesucristo, que os fué antes anunciado:

21 whom Heaven required, indeed, to receive until times of a restitution of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

21 Al cual de cierto es menester que el cielo tenga hasta los tiempos de la restauración de todas las cosas, que habló Dios por boca de sus santos profetas que han sido desde el siglo.

22 For Moses, indeed, said to the fathers—The LORD your God will raise up a Prophet to you out of your brothers, like to me; you will hear Him in all things, as many as He may speak to you;

22 Porque Moisés dijo á los padres: El Señor vuestro Dios os levantará profeta de vuestros hermanos, como yo; á él oiréis en todas las cosas que os hablare.

23 and it will be, every soul that may not hear that Prophet will be utterly destroyed out of the people;

23 Y será, que cualquiera alma que no oyere á aquel profeta, será desarraigada del pueblo.

24 and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spoke, also foretold of these days.

24 Y todos los profetas desde Samuel y en adelante, todos los que han hablado, han anunciado estos días.

25 You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in your Seed will all the families of the earth be blessed;

25 Vosotros sois los hijos de los profetas, y del pacto que Dios concertó con nuestros padres, diciendo á Abraham: Y en tu simiente serán benditas todas las familias de la tierra.

26 to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, sent Him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.”

26 A vosotros primeramente, Dios, habiendo levantado á su Hijo, le envió para que os bendijese, á fin de que cada uno se convierta de su maldad.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

The whole people being in amazement, they said, "Why give heed to us, as though by our own power or authority we had made him to walk?"
