Peter Preaches In Solomon's Portico
The healing of the lame beggar has drawn a massive, marveling crowd into the covered colonnade known as Solomon's Portico. Seizing the moment, Peter boldly addressed the Israelites, rebuking them for staring as if he had healed the man by his own power or piety. He explicitly laid the credit—and the blame—where it belonged.
He told the crowd they had disowned the Holy and Righteous One and put the Prince of Life to death. Yet, offering immense grace, Peter declared they acted in ignorance. He pleaded with them to repent and return, so that their sins may be wiped away and that "times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."
"Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord..."
