1 Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 A certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple. 3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy. 4 Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us." 5 He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!" 7 He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength. 8 Leaping up, he stood and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 All the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to 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.
