1 Certo dia de tarde, Pedro e João estavam indo ao Templo para a oração das três horas. 2 Estava ali um homem que tinha nascido coxo. Todos os dias ele era levado para um dos portões do Templo, chamado "Portão Formoso", a fim de pedir esmolas às pessoas que entravam no pátio do Templo. 3 Quando o coxo viu Pedro e João entrando, pediu uma esmola. 4 Eles olharam firmemente para ele, e Pedro disse:

— Olhe para nós!

5 O homem olhou para eles, esperando receber alguma coisa. 6 Então Pedro disse:

— Não tenho nenhum dinheiro, mas o que tenho eu lhe dou: pelo poder do nome de Jesus Cristo, de Nazaré, levante-se e ande.

7 Em seguida Pedro pegou a mão direita do homem e o ajudou a se levantar. No mesmo instante os pés e os tornozelos dele ficaram firmes. 8 Então ele deu um pulo, ficou de pé e começou a andar. Depois entrou no pátio do Templo com eles, andando, pulando e agradecendo a Deus. 9 Toda a multidão viu o homem pulando e louvando a Deus. 10 Quando perceberam que aquele era o mendigo que ficava sentado perto do Portão Formoso do Templo, ficaram admirados e espantados com o que havia 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.
