| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10and they were taking note of him as being the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called portico of Solomon, full of amazement. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk? |

| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time. |
