1 Pedro e João subiam ao templo à hora da oração, a nona.

2 E, era carregado um homem, coxo de nascença, o qual todos os dias punham à porta do templo, chamada Formosa, para pedir esmolas aos que entravam.

3 Ora, vendo ele a Pedro e João, que iam entrando no templo, pediu que lhe dessem uma esmola.

4 E Pedro, com João, fitando os olhos nele, disse: Olha para nós.

5 E ele os olhava atentamente, esperando receber deles alguma coisa.

6 Disse-lhe Pedro: Não tenho prata nem ouro; mas o que tenho, isso te dou; em nome de Jesus Cristo, o nazareno, anda.

7 Nisso, tomando-o pela mão direita, o levantou; imediatamente os seus pés e artelhos se firmaram

8 e, dando ele um salto, pôs-se em pé. Começou a andar e entrou com eles no templo, andando, saltando e louvando a Deus.

9 Todo o povo, ao vê-lo andar e louvar a Deus,

10 reconhecia-o como o mesmo que estivera sentado a pedir esmola à Porta Formosa do templo; e todos ficaram cheios de pasmo e assombro, pelo que lhe acontecera.

1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being 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 of them that entered into the temple; 3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: 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 ancle bones received strength. 8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
