Acts 3

¹Now Peter and John went up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour (3 PM). ²And there was a man who was lame from birth. There were some people who carried him there each day to the gate of the temple that is called "Beautiful" so he could beg from charity from those who went into the temple. ³When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple he asked them for some charity. ⁴But Peter looked at him, as did John, and Peter said, "Look at us!" ⁵So he expected to get something from them. ⁶But Peter said, "I don't have any siler or gold, but what I have I'm giving you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazereth, Rise and walk!" ⁷And Peter took him by the right hand and raised him up. And immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened. ⁸And he jumped up and stood, and walked around and entered the temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God. ⁹And all the people saw him walking and praising God. ¹⁰But they recognized him as the one who has been sitting in the Beautiful gate of the temple, so they were totally amazed and astonished at what had happened to him.
