1. NOW PETER and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour (three o'clock in the afternoon),
2. [When] a certain man crippled from his birth was being carried along, who was laid each day at that gate of the temple [which is] called Beautiful, so that he might beg for charitable gifts from those who entered the temple.
3. So when he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked them to give him a gift.
4. And Peter directed his gaze intently at him, and so did John, and said, Look at us!
5. And [the man] paid attention to them, expecting that he was going to get something from them.
6. But Peter said, Silver and gold (money) I do not have; but what I do have, that I give to you: in [the use of] the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!
7. Then he took hold of the man's right hand with a firm grip and raised him up. And at once his feet and ankle bones became strong and steady,
8. And leaping forth he stood and began to walk, and he went into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9. And all the people saw him walking about and praising God,
10. And they recognized him as the man who usually sat [begging] for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement (bewilderment, consternation) over what had occurred to him.
11. Now while he [still] firmly clung to Peter and John, all the people in utmost amazement ran together and crowded around them in the covered porch (walk) called Solomon's.
