Acts 3:1–10

HEALING OF A LAME MAN

3Now Peter and John were going up to the temple for the time of prayer^q at three in the afternoon.^{D 2}A man who was lame from birth was being carried there. He was placed each day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so that he could beg from those entering the temple.^{r 3}When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked for money. ⁴Peter, along with John, looked straight at him and said, “Look at us.” ⁵So he turned to them, expecting to get something from them. ⁶But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”^{s 7}Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong. ⁸So he jumped up and started to walk, and he entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.^{t 9}All the people saw him walking and praising God, ¹⁰and they recognized that he was the one who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.^u
