Peter Heals a Lame Man

1 One day Peter and John were going up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried in. Every day people would lay him at the gate of the temple called the Beautiful Gate so that he could ask for alms from those who were entering the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple courts, he began asking them *3:3 for ¦ to receive CT STfor alms. 4 But Peter, along with John, looked at him intently and said, "Look at us." 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give to yoʋ. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, *3:6 rise up and 𝔐21 • 𝔐23 ANT ECM† HF NA TH ¦ --- ECM† SBL WHrise up and walk." 7 Then Peter took hold of him by the right hand and raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles were made strong. 8 Leaping up, he stood and began walking. Then he entered the temple courts with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
