Acts 3
1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [being] the ninth [hour].
One day Peter and John were going up together for the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon,
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;
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 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
When he saw Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he kept asking them for alms;
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
Peter fixed his eyes upon him, as did John, and said, "Look at us."
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
So he waited, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said.
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.
"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 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted [him] up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Then taking his right hand he lifted him up. Instantly his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened;
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and 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 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
When 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.
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 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto 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 And when Peter saw [it], he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to 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?
