1 Certa tarde, Pedro e João foram ao templo para a oração, às três horas da tarde

2 E viram um homem coxo de nascença transportado por outros para ser deixado junto de uma porta do templo, chamada porta Formosa, como acontecia todos os dias, para pedir esmola.

3 Quando Pedro e João iam a passar, o homem pediu-lhes esmola.

4 Eles olharam-no com atenção e Pedro, por fim, disse: Olha para nós!-

5 O coxo fitou-os na esperança da esmola,

6 mas Pedro continuou: Não tenho dinheiro para te dar! Mas aquilo que tenho te dou: em nome de Jesus Cristo de Nazaré, levanta-te e anda!

7 E, pegando no coxo pela mão direita, ajudou-o a levantar-se. Ao fazê-lo, os ossos dos pés e artelhos fortaleceram-se. Erguendo-se de um salto, ficando de pé, o homem começou a caminhar! Andando, saltando e dando louvores a Deus, entrou no templo com eles.

9 Quando o povo o viu andar, o ouviu louvar Deus, e se apercebeu de que era o mesmo pedinte coxo que tantas vezes encontravam na porta Formosa, a surpresa foi enorme

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.
