1 Pedro e João estavam se dirigindo ao templo para a oração das três horas da tarde. 2 Estava sendo levado um homem, coxo de nascença, que diariamente era colocado à porta do templo chamada Formosa, para pedir esmolas aos que entravam. 3 Quando ele viu Pedro e João, que iam entrar no templo, pediu que lhe dessem uma esmola. 4 Pedro, fitando-o, juntamente com João, disse:

— Olhe para nós!

5 Ele os olhava atentamente, esperando receber alguma coisa. 6 Pedro, porém, lhe disse:

— Não possuo nem prata nem ouro, mas o que tenho, isso lhe dou: em nome de Jesus Cristo, o Nazareno, levante-se e ande!

7 E, pegando na mão direita do homem, ajudou-o a se levantar. Imediatamente os seus pés e tornozelos se firmaram; 8 e, dando um salto, ficou em pé, começou a andar e entrou com eles no templo, pulando e louvando a Deus. 9 Todo o povo viu o homem andando e louvando a Deus, 10 e reconheceram que ele era o mesmo que pedia esmolas, assentado à Porta Formosa do templo; e ficaram muito admirados e espantados com o que lhe tinha acontecido.

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' 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 on him with John, said, Look on us.

5 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something of them.

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I you: 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 ankle 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 to him.
