The Kingdom, Op. 51: Iva. The Sign Of Healing (Then They That Gladly Received His Word)

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized, and continued steadfastly in the Apostles' teaching, and in Fellowship, in the Breaking of Bread, and the Prayers and fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the Apostles. The man that was lame, at the Beautiful Gate, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms and Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said:- Look on us. Silver and gold have I none but what I have, that give I thee. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. This is he which sat for alms, lame from his mother's womb. He entereth the temple, walking and praising God! Peter Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified His Servant Jesus, Whom ye delivered up: by faith in His Name hath His Name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know. Unto you that fear His Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings. Unto you first God, having raised up His Servant, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities. Turn ye again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.
