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 Pedro e João iam subindo ao templo para rezar à hora nona.
2 Nisto levavam um homem que era coxo de nascença e que punham todos os dias à porta do templo, chamada Formosa, para que pedisse esmolas aos que entravam no templo.
3 Quando ele viu que Pedro e João iam entrando no templo, implorou a eles uma esmola.
4 Pedro fitou nele os olhos, como também João, e disse: Olha para nós.
5 Ele os olhou com atenção esperando receber deles alguma coisa.
6 Pedro, porém, disse: Não tenho nem ouro nem prata, mas o que tenho eu te dou: em nome de Jesus Cristo Nazareno, levanta-te e anda!
7 E tomando-o pela mão direita, levantou-o. Imediatamente os pés e os tornozelos se lhe firmaram. De um salto pôs-se de pé e andava.
8 Entrou com eles no templo, caminhando, saltando e louvando a Deus.
9 Todo o povo o viu andar e louvar a Deus.
10 Reconheceram ser o mesmo coxo que se sentava para mendigar à porta Formosa do templo, e encheram-se de espanto e pasmo pelo que lhe tinha acontecido.
