Acts 3:1-8 ▼

1 One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then,

2 some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called)

3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.

4 Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."

5 So he looked and waited, expecting to receive something from them.

6 "I have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"

7 Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.

8 Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.
