Acts 3:1–10

Healing of a Lame Man

3Now Peter and John were going up together to the temple complex at the hour of prayer ^lat three in the afternoon. ^m2And a man who was lame from birth was carried there and placed every day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so he could beg from those entering the temple complex. ⁿ³When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple complex, he asked for help. ⁴Peter, along with John, looked at him intently and said, “Look at us.” ⁵So he turned to them, ^oexpecting to get something from them. ⁶But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but what I have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!” ^p7Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong. ⁸So he jumped up, stood, and started to walk, and he entered the temple complex with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. ^q9All 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 complex. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him. ^r
