1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple, at the hour of prayer, 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, called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that were entering into the temple, Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple,

3 asked an alms.

4 And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him, with John, said, Look on us.

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

6 Then said Peter, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.

7 And taking him by the right-hand, he lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened,

8 And leaping up, he stood and walked, and went 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 him, that this was he who had sat for alms at the beautiful gate of the temple, and were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had befallen him.

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.
