1 Pedro e João subiam ao templo para a oração da hora nona.
2 Era levado um homem, coxo de nascença, o qual punham cada dia à porta do templo, chamada Formosa, para pedir esmola aos que entravam.
3 Este, vendo a Pedro e a João, que iam entrar no templo, implorava-lhes que lhe dessem uma esmola.
4 Pedro, fitando os olhos nele, juntamente com João, disse: Olha para nós.
5 Ele, esperando receber deles alguma coisa, olhava-os com atenção.
6 Mas Pedro disse: Não tenho prata nem ouro, mas o que tenho, isso te dou; em nome de Jesus Cristo o Nazareno, anda.
7 Tomando-o pela mão direita, o levantou; logo os seus pés e artelhos se firmaram
8 e, dando um salto, pôs-se em pé, e começou a andar; e entrou com eles no templo, andando, saltando e louvando a Deus.
9 Todo o povo, vendo-o andar e louvar a Deus,
10 e reconhecendo ser este o homem que se assentava a esmolar à Porta Formosa do templo, ficaram cheios de admiração e pasmo, pelo que lhe acontecera.
1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength. 8 And he leaping up 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 knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
