A Lame Beggar Healed at the Temple

3Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2And a certain man was being carried who was lame from birth.a Heb was placed every day at the gate of the temple called “Beautiful,” so that he could ask for charitable gifts from those who were going into the temple courts.* 3When he* saw Peter and John about to go into the temple courts,* he began asking to receive alms. 4And Peter looked intently at him, together with John, and* said, “Look at us!” 5So he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not possess,c but what I have, this I give to you—in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!”d 7And taking hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8And leaping up, he stood and began walking around* and entered into the temple courts* with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9And all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10And they recognized him, that this onee was the one who used to sit asking for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.
