1
One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon.
2
Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.
3
When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.
4
Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”
5
So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
