Acts 3:1-8 ▼

1 IT came to pass as Simon Peter and John were going up together to the temple at the time of prayer, at the ninth hour,

2 Behold a certain man, lame from his mother’s womb, was carried by men who were accustomed to bring him and lay him at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful so that he might ask alms from those who entered into the temple.

3 And when he saw Simon Peter and John entering the temple, he begged of them to give him alms.

4 And Simon Peter and John looked at him and said, Look at us.

5 And he looked at them, expecting to receive something from them.

6 Then Simon Peter said to him, Gold and silver have I none; but what I have I give to you: In the name of our LORD Jesus Christ of Naz’a-reth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up; and in that very hour his legs and his feet received strength.

8 And he, leaping up, stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.
