1 Pierre et Jean montaient ensemble au temple, à l'heure de la prière: c'était la neuvième heure.

2 Il y avait un homme boiteux de naissance, qu'on portait et qu'on plaçait tous les jours à la porte du temple appelée la Belle, pour qu'il demandât l'aumône à ceux qui entraient dans le temple.

3 Cet homme, voyant Pierre et Jean qui allaient y entrer, leur demanda l'aumône.

4 Pierre, de même que Jean, fixa les yeux sur lui, et dit: Regarde-nous.

5 Et il les regardait attentivement, s'attendant à recevoir d'eux quelque chose.

6 Alors Pierre lui dit: Je n'ai ni argent, ni or; mais ce que j'ai, je te le donne: au nom de Jésus-Christ de Nazareth, lève-toi et marche.

7 Et le prenant par la main droite, il le fit lever. Au même instant, ses pieds et ses chevilles devinrent fermes;

8 d'un saut il fut debout, et il se mit à marcher. Il entra avec eux dans le temple, marchant, sautant, et louant Dieu.

9 Tout le monde le vit marchant et louant Dieu.

10 Ils reconnaissaient que c'était celui qui était assis à la Belle porte du temple pour demander l'aumône, et ils furent remplis d'étonnement et de surprise au sujet de ce qui lui était arrivé.

1 Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 A certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple. 3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy. 4 Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us." 5 He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!" 7 He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength. 8 Leaping up, he stood and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 All the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
