Acts 3: 1 - 10
|
| 1
|
Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
|
| 2
|
And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple.
|
| 3
|
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.
|
| 4
|
And Peter directed his gaze at him, with John, and said, "Look at us."
|
| 5
|
And he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something from them.
|
| 6
|
But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."
|
| 7
|
And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
|
| 8
|
And leaping up he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
|
| 9
|
And all the people saw him walking and praising God,
|
| 10
|
and recognized him as the one who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
