What happensPermalink

Peter heals a lame man in the temple; when a crowd gathers to witness, he preaches another sermon, this one about Jesus’s death and resurrection and their need to repent.

Why it mattersPermalink

Peter’s miracle healing in the name of Jesus gives him another opportunity to witness to Jesus’s death and resurrection. He re-tells the story of Pilate and Jesus and Barabbas and connects Jesus’s ministry to God’s promises to Abraham and to Moses.

Key versePermalink

“God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”

Acts 3:26
