3. Acts Big Picture
• Chapters 1-12; Records the first 12 years of
church history. As it grows from Jerusalem to
Antioch. This is the history of the ministry of
Peter as he planted and then spread the church
among the Jews.
• Chaps. 13-21, Records the missionary journeys,
giving the history of the expansion and planting
of the church among the Gentiles by Paul.
• Chaps. 21-28, Records Paul's arrest and trip
Rome, and the events which led to this.

4. Acts 3:1-5,
• Acts 3:1-5 One day Peter and John were going up
to the temple at the time of prayer — at three in
the afternoon. 2 Now a man crippled from birth
was being carried to the temple gate called
Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg
from those going into the temple courts. 3 When
he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked
them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him,
as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" 5 So
the man gave them his attention, expecting to
get something from them.

5. I.S.B.E., "The Beautiful Gate"
• Nine gates, with two-storied gatehouses "like towers"
(Josephus, BJ, V, v , 3), are mentioned, four on the
North, four on the South, and one on the East-the last
probably to be identified, though this is still
disputed…with the "Gate of Nicanor" (Mid.), or
"Corinthian Gate" (Jos), which is undoubtedly "the
Beautiful Gate" of Acts 3:2,10…This principal gate
received its names from being the gift of a wealthy
Alexandrian Jew, Nicanor, and from its being made of
Corinthian brass. It was of great size-50 cubits high and
40 cubits wide-and was richly adorned, its brass
glittering like gold (Mid., ii.3)...The other gates were
covered with gold and silver (Josephus, BJ, V, v , 3).

6. Acts 3:6-10
• Acts 3:6-10 Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not
have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, walk." 7 Taking him by the right
hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet
and ankles became strong. 8 He jumped to his feet and
began to walk. Then he went with them into the
temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising
God. 9 When all the people saw him walking and
praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man
who used to sit begging at the temple gate called
Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and
amazement at what had happened to him.

8. A Real Healing
• A healing Pastor came to a
church. There was a long line to
see him. It was a little boys turn
in line and he said he wanted
prayer for his hearing.
So, the healing Pastor grabbed
his ears and said a prayer.
The Pastor let go and asked,
"how’s your hearing now''.
• "I don't know.. it's not till
Friday," replied the boy.

9. He Received A New Life
• He asked for money
• He received a new life
• They didn’t just help him exist in his broken
condition.
• By the authority of Jesus Christ he was saved.

10. Off Duty=No Authority
• My neighbor Larry, a fish and game warden, decided to
go fishing at a local river on his lunch break. Upon
arriving, he met up with another angler at his favorite
spot.
"You can't fish while you're on duty," the angler said as
Larry cast his line.
"I'm not on duty," Larry said. "It's my lunch break."
After a while, Larry decided to check that the
fisherman had a license. "Can I see your license?" he
asked.
• "No," the sharp angler refused. "You're not on duty."

11. Acts 3:6, 16, “In The Name Of Jesus”
• This phrase “in the name of Jesus” is not a magic
incantation or mantra.
• It is not a “secret key” to force God to answer our
prayers.
• “Halt in the name of the law.”
• Jesus is our only access to Holy God.
• It gives Christ the credit and recognition.
• 34 of the 36 NIV uses of “name” in Acts are with
reference to Jesus’ power & authority, 9 of those
are in chs. 3-4.
• It is biblical;

12. Acts Uses, “In The Name Of Jesus”

• Acts 16:18…said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I
command you…
• Acts 19:13…They would say, "In the name of Jesus, whom

• Matt 28:19…baptizing them in the name of the
Father…
• Mark 9:39…No one who does a miracle in my

• John 1:12…to those who believed in his name…
• John 14:13-14…I will do whatever you ask in my
name…You may ask me for anything in my name,
and I will do it.

15. Barnes' Notes
• This is equivalent to saying on my account, or for my sake. If
a man who has money in a bank authorizes us to draw it,
we are said to do it in his name. If a son authorizes us to
apply to his father for aid because we are his friends, we do
it in the name of the son, and the favor will be bestowed on
us from the regard which the parent has to his son, and
through him to all his friends. So we are permitted to apply
to God in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, because God is
in him well pleased (Matt 3:17), and because we are the
friends of his Son he answers our requests. Though we are
undeserving, yet he loves us on account of his Son, and
because he sees in us his image. No privilege is greater than
that of approaching God in the name of his Son; no
blessings of salvation can be conferred on any who do not
come in his name.

16. The Bible Exposition Commentary
• We must pray in Christ's name (vv. 13-14). This is
not a "magic formula" that we automatically
attach to our prayer requests, guaranteeing that
God will answer. To ask anything of the Father, in
the name of Jesus, means that we ask what Jesus
would ask what would please Him, and what
would bring Him glory by furthering His work.
When a friend says to you, "You may use my
name!" he is handing you a great privilege as well
as a tremendous responsibility.

17. IVP Bible Background Commentary
• Ancient Judaism used "name" in so many overlapping senses that the
context tells us more here than the background. In the *Old Testament
"name" often meant reputation or renown, and when God acted "on
account of his name" it was to defend his honor. "In the name of God"
could mean as his representative acting on his behalf (Ex 5:23; Deut
18:19-22; Jer 14:14-15), according to his command (Deut 18:5,7), by his
help (Ps 118:10-11; Prov 18:10) or using his name in a miraculous act (2
Kings 2:24). (When *rabbis passed on traditions "in the name of" other
rabbis it simply means that they were citing their sources, their basis of
authority for the tradition.) In prayer, calling on a deity's name simply
meant addressing him (1 Kings 18:24-26,32; 2 Kings 5:11; Ps 9:2; 18:49).
In the Old Testament and later Judaism "Name" could also simply be a
polite and roundabout way of saying "God" without uttering his name.
• In this context "name" means something like: those who seek his glory
and speak accurately for him, who are genuinely his authorized
representatives. Nothing could be further from the pagan magical use
of names that sought to manipulate spiritual forces for one's own ends.

18. Acts 3:11-16
• Acts 3:11-16 While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all
the people were astonished and came running to them in
the place called Solomon's Colonnade. 12 When Peter saw
this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise
you? 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 to be killed,
and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided
to let him go. 14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One
and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed
the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We
are witnesses of this. 16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this
man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus'
name and the faith that comes through him that has given
this complete healing to him, as you can all see.

19. Solomon’s Colonnade
• Model of “Herod’s temple” which stood between 19
BC and AD 70. The Temple Mount was bordered by
columned porticos(1) which on the east side,
(immediate foreground) included Solomon’s
Colonnade(2). Here Yeshua spoke with the Pharisees
in John 10:22-39.

20. Solomon’s
Colonnade
• Painting

21. Acts 3:17-23
• "Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as
did your leaders. 18 But this is how God fulfilled what
he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that
his Christ would suffer. 19 Repent, then, and turn to
God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of
refreshing may come from the Lord, 20 and that he
may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you
— even Jesus. 21 He must remain in heaven until the
time comes for God to restore everything, as he
promised long ago through his holy prophets. 22 For
Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a
prophet like me from among your own people; you
must listen to everything he tells you. 23 Anyone who
does not listen to him will be completely cut off from
among his people.'

22. Acts 3:19, Repent And Return
• NAU Acts 3:19 "Therefore repent [metanoeo] and return
[epistrepho] …
• <3340> μετανοέω metanoeo
• Meaning: to change one’s mind or purpose…
• <1994> ἐπιστρέφω epistrepho
• Meaning: to turn, to return…
• Repent and turn/return are not synonyms, or this
would be redundant. Repent means to have a change
of thought or mind, and turn/return means to change
directions. The turn is the result of a changed mind,
not the cause. It does no good to turn/stop sinning if
your mind is not changed. The order is always #1 have
a changed mind, #2 change directions

23. Acts 3:21, Until The Times Of
Restitution Of All Things, KJV
• Acts 3:21…restore everything…NIV
• Isa 65:20 "Never again will there be in it an
infant who lives but a few days, or an old man
who does not live out his years; he who dies
at a hundred will be thought a mere youth;
he who fails to reach a hundred will be
considered accursed.

24. Isa 35, Restitution Of All Things, KJV
• Read all of Isa 35 for the Messianic Kingdom
• Isa 35:4-6 say to those with fearful hearts, "Be
strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will
come with vengeance; with divine retribution
he will come to save you."
• 5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and
the ears of the deaf unstopped. 6 Then will the
lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue
shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the
wilderness and streams in the desert.

25. Acts 3:21, Restoration Of All Things
Lev 25:8-55, Year Of Jubilee
• Lev 25:8-55 "'Count off seven sabbaths of years —
seven times seven years forty-nine years.
• Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty
throughout the land to all its inhabitants.
• It shall be a jubilee for you; each one of you is to return
to his family property and each to his own clan. 11 The
fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and
do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the
untended vines. 12 For it is a jubilee and is to be holy
for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.
• He [slaves] and his children are to be released in the
Year of Jubilee…

26. All The Prophets, Said Christ Would Suffer?
• Which ones?

27. All The Prophets, Said Christ Would Suffer?

• Ps 22:8 "He trusts in the Lord; let the Lord rescue him.
• Hos 5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge

early. KJV
• Isa 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed
for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon
him, and by his wounds we are healed.
• IVP Bible Background Commentary says “Later teachers often said
that a *Messiah would suffer and spoke of two Messiahs, one who
would suffer and one who would reign, but the Christians seem to
have been the first to proclaim the concept of a suffering Messiah.”

28. Repent, Then, And Turn To God
• Acts 3:19 Repent, then,
and turn to God…
• 3340 μετανοέω metanoeo
{met-an-o-eh'-o}
• Meaning: 1) to change
one's mind, i.e. to repent
2) to change one's mind
for better, heartily to
amend with abhorrence
of one's past sins

29. A Prophet Like Me
• Acts 3:22 For Moses said,
'The Lord your God will
raise up for you a prophet
like me…
• Deut 18:15 The Lord your
God will raise up for you a
prophet like me from
among your own brothers.
You must listen to him.

30. In Closing

31. No Vacancies
• We had been on the road for 15 hours en route
from New York to California and were looking
for a place to spend the night. At four different
motels, though, we were told, "Sorry, no
vacancies.“ Heading back to the car, my seven-
year-old asked solemnly,
• "Mom, are we vacancies?"

32. The End

are going to be opposed.... In our days, to be a
true Christian is really to become a scandal.
•
• --George Whitefield (English preacher who
proved to be one of the vessels used by God in
the Great Awakening)

34. Acts 3:2, The Lame Will Leap
• NAU Acts 3:2 And a man who had been lame from
his mother's womb was being carried along,
whom they used to set down every day at the
gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in
order to beg alms of those who were entering the
temple.
• NAU Isaiah 35:6 Then the lame will leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy. For
waters will break forth in the wilderness And
streams in the Arabah.
• Paul in Acts 14:8-10

35. Acts 3:2, Isaiah 35, In Context
• NAU Isaiah 35:1 The wilderness and the desert will be glad, And the Arabah
will rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus 2 It will blossom profusely And
rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to
it, The majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD,
The majesty of our God. 3 Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the
feeble. 4 Say to those with anxious heart, "Take courage, fear not. Behold,
your God will come with vengeance; The recompense of God will come, But
He will save you." 5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened And the ears
of the deaf will be unstopped. 6 Then the lame will leap like a deer, And the
tongue of the mute will shout for joy. For waters will break forth in the
wilderness And streams in the Arabah. 7 The scorched land will become a
pool And the thirsty ground springs of water; In the haunt of jackals, its
resting place, Grass becomes reeds and rushes. 8 A highway will be there, a
roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not
travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that way, And fools will not
wander on it. 9 No lion will be there, Nor will any vicious beast go up on it;
These will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there, 10 And the
ransomed of the LORD will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
With everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, And
sorrow and sighing will flee away.

refreshing may come from the presence of the
Lord; 20 and that He may send Jesus, the Christ
appointed for you,
• NAU Isaiah 43:25 "I, even I, am the one who wipes
out your transgressions for My own sake, And I
will not remember your sins.
