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.

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’s 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 upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: 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 ancle 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 unto him.
