1 Certo dia, por volta das três da tarde, Pedro e João foram ao templo orar. 2 Um homem, aleijado de nascença, estava sendo carregado. Todos os dias, ele era colocado ao lado da porta chamada Formosa, para pedir esmolas a quem entrasse no templo. 3 Quando ele viu que Pedro e João iam entrar, pediu-lhes dinheiro.

4 Pedro e João se voltaram para ele. "Olhe para nós!", disse Pedro. 5 O homem fixou o olhar neles, esperando receber alguma esmola. 6 Pedro, no entanto, disse: "Não tenho prata nem ouro, mas lhe dou o que tenho. Em nome de Jesus Cristo, o nazareno, levante-se e ande!".

7 Então Pedro segurou o aleijado pela mão e o ajudou a levantar-se. No mesmo instante, os pés e os tornozelos do homem foram curados e fortalecidos. 8 De um salto, ele se levantou e começou a andar. Em seguida, caminhando, saltando e louvando a Deus, entrou no templo com eles.

9 Quando o viram caminhar e o ouviram louvar a Deus, 10 todos perceberam que era o mesmo mendigo que tantas vezes tinham visto na porta Formosa, e ficaram perplexos.

1 Now at the same time Peter and John were going up into the temple, at the hour of prayer, the ninth.

2 And a certain man, being lame from his mother's belly, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask charity from those who entered into the temple,

3 who, having seen Peter and John intending to go into the temple, asked charity.

4 And Peter, having gazed intently at him, with John, said, Look at us.

5 And he gave attention to them expecting to receive something from them.

6 But Peter said, No silver and gold exists to me, but what I have, this I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.

7 And after taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up. And immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.

8 And leaping up, he stood and walked. 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 recognized him, that this was the man who sat for charity at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled of astonishment and amazement at that which happened to him.
