Acts 3:3-13

3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter the Temple, he asked for a handout.
4 Peter, with John at his side, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Look here."
5 He looked up, expecting to get something from them.
6 Peter said, "I don't have a nickel to my name, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!"
7 He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm.
8 He jumped to his feet and walked.
9 Everybody there saw him walking around and praising God.
10 They recognized him as the one who sat begging at the Temple's Gate Beautiful and rubbed their eyes, astonished, scarcely believing what they were seeing.
11 The man threw his arms around Peter and John, ecstatic. All the people ran up to where they were at Solomon's Porch to see it for themselves.
12 When Peter saw he had a congregation, he addressed the people:
13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his Son Jesus. The very One that Pilate called innocent, you repudiated.
