A Lame Beggar Healed at the Temple
1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth [hour].
2
And a certain man was being carried who was lame {from birth}. {He} was placed every day at the gate of the temple called "Beautiful," [so that he] could ask for charitable gifts from those who were going into the temple [courts].
3
[When he] saw Peter and John about to go into the temple [courts], he began asking to receive alms.
4
And Peter looked intently at him, together with John, [and] said, "Look at us!"
5
So he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.
6
But Peter said, "Silver and gold {I do not possess}, but what I have, this I give to you--in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!"
