Acts 3:1-8 ▼

1 One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

2 And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.

3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

4 Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us! said Peter.

5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

6 But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!

7 Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

8 He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.
