Acts 3 : 1 - 12
Chapter 3
| 1 | Now Peter and John went up together to 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 which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;
|
| 3 | who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.
|
| 4 | And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, "Look at us."
|
| 5 | So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
|
| 6 | Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: 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 ankle bones received strength.
|
| 8 | So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them--walking, leaping, and praising God.
|
| 9 | And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
|
| 10 | Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
|
| 11 | Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed.
|
| 12 | So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
