Acts 3:11

JohnSimonSolomonSolomon's Portico

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

10 they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.

12 And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.
