Acts 3
1 Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
One day Peter and John were going up together for the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon,
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.
when a man lame from his birth was carried along, who was wont to be laid each day near the gate of the Temple called the Beautiful Gate, to ask alms of those who were going into the Temple.
3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
When he saw Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he kept asking them for alms;
4 Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, “Look at us.”
Peter fixed his eyes upon him, as did John, and said, "Look at us."
5 He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.
So he waited, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said.
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!”
"I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have, this I am going to give to you; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!"
7 He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
Then taking his right hand he lifted him up. Instantly his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened;
8 Leaping up, he stood and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
and leaping forth he stood on his feet, and began to walk, and went with them into the Temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 All the people saw him walking and praising God.
When 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.
and recognized that this was the man who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people crowded awe- struck around them, in what was known as Solomon’s Portico.
12 When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?
When he saw this, Peter said to the people. "Men of Israel, why are you wondering at this? Why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made this man to walk?
