Acts 3:12 in Context — Acts 3
10 E eles o reconheceram, que este era o que se sentava [para pedir] esmola perto da porta formosa do Templo; e ficaram cheios de surpresa e espanto, por causa do que tinha lhe acontecido.
11 E o aleijado que tinha sido curado, tendo se apegado a Pedro e a João, todo o povo correu maravilhado a eles ao pórtico, que se chama de Salomão.
12 Quando Pedro viu [isso] , respondeu ao povo: “Homens israelitas, por que vos maravilhais disto? Ou por que vós olhais tão atentamente para nós, como se por nosso próprio poder ou devoção divina o tivéssemos feito andar?
13 O Deus de Abraão, e de Isaque, e de Jacó, o Deus de nossos pais, glorificou a seu filho Jesus, ao qual vós entregastes, e diante do rosto de Pilatos o negastes, [mesmo] ele julgando que fosse solto.
14 Mas vós negastes ao santo e justo, e pedistes que um homem assassino fosse vos dado.
