Acts 2:42–3:10

⁴²And they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers. ⁴³And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles, ⁴⁴and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common, ⁴⁵and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need. ⁴⁶Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart, ⁴⁷praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.

Chapter 3

¹And Peter and John were going up at the same time to the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth hour, ²and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple, ³who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness. ⁴And Peter, having looked stedfastly toward him with John, said, ‘Look toward us;’ ⁵and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them; ⁶and Peter said, ‘Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.’ ⁷And having seized him by the right hand, he raised him up, and presently his feet and ankles were strengthened, ⁸and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God; ⁹and all the people saw him walking and praising God, ¹⁰they were knowing him also that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath happened to him.
