Ludzie pragną czasami się rozstawać, żeby móc tęsknić, czekać i cieszyć się z powrotem.
[TEHILLIM 55:17]
|2| And a certain ish, an ish (pisei'ach from the womb of his em), was being carried and they were
putting him bederech klal (usually) yom yom at the sha'ar of the Beis Hamikdash, the one being
called the Sha'ar Hatiferet, in order to beg for tzedakah from the ones entering into the Beis
Hamikdash.
|3| When the ish pisei'ach (lame man) saw Kefa and Yochanan being about to enter into the Beis
Hamikdash, he began begging them for tzedakah.
|4| But Kefa, as did Yochanan, gazed at him, saying, "Look at us!"
|5| And the ish pisei'ach was paying heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
|6| And Kefa said, "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give to you. In ha-Shem of
the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua of Natzeret, get up and walk!"
|7| And having grasped him by the yad yamin, Kefa lifted him up, and immediately the man's feet
and ankles were strengthened.
|8| And leaping up, he stood and was walking around, and he entered with them into the Beis
Hamikdash, walking and leaping and shouting "Baruch Hashem!" [YESHAYAH 35:6]
|9| And all the people saw him walking and shouting, "Baruch Hashem!"
|10| And they recognized him, that he was the one sitting at the Sha'ar Hatiferet (Beautiful Gate)
of the Beis Hamikdash begging for tzedakah; and they were mishpoyel (standing in awe) and
amazement at what had happened to him.
|11| Now while Kefa and Yochanan were being held by him, all the people ran together to them at the Portico which is called Ulam Sh'lomo, and the people were utterly astonished.
|12| And when Kefa saw this, he answered the people, preaching, "Anshei Yisroel, why are you
bewildered at this or at us? Why are you gazing as if it were by our own ko'ach or chassidus that
this man has become able to walk?
|13| "Hashem, Elohei Avraham V'Elohei Yitzchak V'Elohei Ya'akov, the G-d of Avoteinu, has
brought kavod to his mesharet, his Eved, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua whom you
delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate when you decided to release the other one.
[SHEMOT 3:6,15; YESHAYAH 52:13;53:11]
|14| "But you denied HaKadosh and the Tzaddik and you asked for a man who was a rotzeach
(murderer) to be granted unto you,
|15| "but the Sar HaChayyim you did away with, whom Hashem made to stand up alive again
from the mesim, of which we are edim (witnesses).
|16| "And on the basis of emunah in his Shem (Name), this ish whom you see and know, the
Shem of Yehoshua has made him strong; ken, and it is emunah (faith) that comes through Rebbe,
Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, which has given a refu'ah shleimah (complete healing) to this
man in the presence of all of you.
|17| "And now, Achim, I realize that according to a lack of da'as you acted, as did also your
manhigim (leaders).
|18| "But Hashem has thus fulfilled the things which he announced beforehand through the mouth
of all the Nevi'im that the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach should undergo Messianic innuyim
(sufferings).
|19| "Therefore, make teshuva (repentance, turning from chet [sin] to G-d) and turn in order that
your chatta'im, your averos (sins) may be removed, [TEHILLIM 51:1; YESHAYAH 43:25;
44:22]
|20| "in order that times of rest may come from the presence of Adonoi, and that he may send the
one having been proclaimed beforehand to you, that is, the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,
|21| "whom it is necessary for Shomayim to receive until the times of the Tikkun of all things of
which Hashem spoke long ago through the mouth of his Nevi'im hakedoshim."
|22| "Moshe Rabbenu indeed said, "NAVI KAMOCHA [trans. note: i.e. a prophet like Moses] for
you Hashem Adonoi will raise up from your achim; to him you will give heed according to
everything whatever he may speak to you." [DEVARIM 18:15,18]
|23| "And it will be that every nefesh (soul) whoever LO YISHMA (does not listen) to that Navi
(prophet) will be utterly destroyed from among the people. [DEVARIM 18:19; VAYIKRA
23:29]
|24| "And likewise all the Nevi'im (prophets) from Shmuel and his successors onward, also
announced HaYom HaZeh.
|25| "You are the Bnei HaNevi'im (prophets) and you are the Bnei HaBrit which Hashem decreed
to your Avot, saying to Avraham Avinu, V'NIVRAKHU ("and they will be blessed") in your
ZERA ("Seed"), KOL MISHPEKHOT HA'ADAMAH ("and in your Zera will be blessed all the
families of the earth.") [BERESHIT 12:3; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14]
|26| "To you rishonah (first) Hashem raised up his EVED [Moshiach], sending him to give you a
bracha, turning every one of you in teshuva away from your wicked ways."
§PEREK DALET (CHAPTER FOUR)
Now while they were speaking to the people, the kohanim and the Sar Tzeva haHeikhal, and
the Tzedukim (Sadducees), approached them,
|2| being greatly annoyed, because they were teaching HaAm and preaching in Yehoshua the
Techiyas HaMesim.
|3| And they took them with their hands, and put them in the beis hasohar until the next day, for it
was already erev.
|4| And many of the ones having listened to the dvar Hashem had emunah; and the number of the
men came to be lav davka (approximately) chameshet alafim.
|5| And it came about on the next day their manhigim and Zekenim and the Sofrim were gathered
together in Yerushalayim,
|6| and also Anan the Kohen Gadol and Caiapha and Yochanan and Alexander and as many as
were of the mishpochah of the Kohen Gadol.
|7| And when they had placed the Moshiach's Shluchim in their midst, they were inquiring, "By
what ko'ach (power) or in what Shem have you done this?"
|8| Then Kefa, having been filled with the Ruach Hakodesh, said to them, "Sarei HaAm and
Zekenim,
|9| "if we today are being examined on account of a ma'aseh tov done to a handicapped man, as to
by what means this one has been given refuah shleimah,
|10| "let it be known to all of you and to Klal Yisroel, that b'Shem Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach
Yeshoshua of Natzeret, whom you hanged on HaEtz (DEVARIM 21:22), whom Hashem made to stand up alive again from haMesim--by this Shem this man stands here before you shalem b'guf (healthy).
|11| "He [Yehoshua] is HAEVEN MA'ASU ("the Stone which was rejected") by you, HABONIM
("the builders"), which HAY'TAH LEROSH PINNAH ("became the very corner") stone.
[TEHILLIM 118:22; YESHAYAH 28:16; ZECHARYAH 10:4]
|12| "And there is no Yeshu'at Eloheinu in any other, for there is no other Shem under Shomayim
that has been given among Bnei Adam, by which it is necessary for you to be spared [the Mishpat Hashem in the Yom HaDin]."
|13| Now observing the bitachon of Kefa and Yochanan, and having perceived that they are not
