A Lame Beggar Is Healed (ACT 3:1-10)

[3:1] One day Peter and John went to the Temple at three o'clock in the afternoon, the hour for prayer.

[3:2] There at the Beautiful Gate, as it was called, was a man who had been lame all his life. Every day he was carried to the gate to beg for money from the people who were going into the Temple.

[3:3] When he saw Peter and John going in, he begged them to give him something.

[3:4] They looked straight at him, and Peter said, “Look at us!”

[3:5] So he looked at them, expecting to get something from them.

[3:6] But Peter said to him, “I have no money at all, but I give you what I have: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I order you to get up and walk!”

[3:7] Then he took him by his right hand and helped him up. At once the man's feet and ankles became strong;

[3:8] he jumped up, stood on his feet, and started walking around. Then he went into the Temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God.

[3:9] The people there saw him walking and praising God,

[3:10] and when they recognized him as the beggar who had sat at the Beautiful Gate, they were all surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.
