1 Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man that was lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door 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 to receive 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 from them. 6 But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength. 8 And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he 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 took knowledge of him, that it was he that 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.

1 Certo dia de tarde, Pedro e João estavam indo ao Templo para a oração das três horas. 2 Estava ali um homem que tinha nascido coxo. Todos os dias ele era levado para um dos portões do Templo, chamado "Portão Formoso", a fim de pedir esmolas às pessoas que entravam no pátio do Templo. 3 Quando o coxo viu Pedro e João entrando, pediu uma esmola. 4 Eles olharam firmemente para ele, e Pedro disse:

— Olhe para nós!

5 O homem olhou para eles, esperando receber alguma coisa. 6 Então Pedro disse:

— Não tenho nenhum dinheiro, mas o que tenho eu lhe dou: pelo poder do nome de Jesus Cristo, de Nazaré, levante-se e ande.

7 Em seguida Pedro pegou a mão direita do homem e o ajudou a se levantar. No mesmo instante os pés e os tornozelos dele ficaram firmes. 8 Então ele deu um pulo, ficou de pé e começou a andar. Depois entrou no pátio do Templo com eles, andando, pulando e agradecendo a Deus. 9 Toda a multidão viu o homem pulando e louvando a Deus. 10 Quando perceberam que aquele era o mendigo que ficava sentado perto do Portão Formoso do Templo, ficaram admirados e espantados com o que havia acontecido.
