1 Pedro e João estavam se dirigindo ao templo para a oração das três horas da tarde. 2 Estava sendo levado um homem, coxo de nascença, que diariamente era colocado à porta do templo chamada Formosa, para pedir esmolas aos que entravam. 3 Quando ele viu Pedro e João, que iam entrar no templo, pediu que lhe dessem uma esmola. 4 Pedro, fitando-o, juntamente com João, disse:

— Olhe para nós!

5 Ele os olhava atentamente, esperando receber alguma coisa. 6 Pedro, porém, lhe disse:

— Não possuo nem prata nem ouro, mas o que tenho, isso lhe dou: em nome de Jesus Cristo, o Nazareno, levante-se e ande!

7 E, pegando na mão direita do homem, ajudou-o a se levantar. Imediatamente os seus pés e tornozelos se firmaram; 8 e, dando um salto, ficou em pé, começou a andar e entrou com eles no templo, pulando e louvando a Deus. 9 Todo o povo viu o homem andando e louvando a Deus, 10 e reconheceram que ele era o mesmo que pedia esmolas, assentado à Porta Formosa do templo; e ficaram muito admirados e espantados com o que lhe tinha acontecido.

1 Now, Peter and John, were going up into the temple, for the hour of prayerthe ninth;

2 And, a certain man, who had been, lame from his mothers womb, was being carried,whom they used to lay daily at the door of the templethe called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them who were entering into the temple:

3 Who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, was requesting to receive, an alms.

4 But Peter looking steadfastly at himwith Johnsaid: Look on us!

5 And, he, gave heed unto them, expecting to receive, something from them.

6 But Peter saidSilver and gold, have none, but, what I have, the same, unto thee do give:In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, Walk!

7 And, laying hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up; and, instantly, were his feet and ankles strengthened;

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

9 And all the people saw him, walking and praising God;

10 And they began to recognise him, that, the same, was he who, for the alms, used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple;and they were filled with amazement and transport at what had happened unto him.
