Peter Speaks to the People

¹¹ While the man was ·holding on [clinging] to Peter and John, all the people were ·amazed [astonished] and ran to them at Solomon’s ·Porch [Portico; Colonnade; ^Ccolumns marked the outside perimeter of the large outer court of the Temple]. ¹² When Peter saw this, he ·said to [addressed] them, “·People of Israel [^LMen, Israelites], why are you ·surprised [amazed]? ·You are [^LOr why are you…?] ·looking [staring] at us as if it were our own power or ·goodness [piety; godliness] that made this man walk. ¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers], ·gave glory to [has glorified/honored] Jesus, his ·servant [or child]. But you handed him over to be killed. Pilate decided to let him go free, but you ·told Pilate you did not want [^Ldisowned; rejected] Jesus.
