1 Peter and John were going up to the temple for the hour of prayer at three in the afternoon.

2 Now a man who had been crippled from birth was being carried in. Every day people would lay him at what was called the Beautiful Gate so that he could beg from those who were going into the temple.

3 When he saw that Peter and John were about to go into the temple, he asked them to give him something.

4 Peter, along with John, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Look at us!"

5 So the man watched them closely, expecting to get something from them.

6 However, Peter said, "I don't have any silver or gold, but I'll give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus Christ from Nazareth, walk!"

7 Then Peter took hold of his right hand and began to help him up. Immediately his feet and ankles became strong,

8 and he sprung to his feet, stood up, and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple, walking, jumping, and praising God.

9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10 they knew that he was the man who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
