Acts 3:5-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

5. So the man watched them closely. He expected to get something from them.

6. Peter said, "I don't have any silver or gold. But I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk."

7. Then Peter took him by the right hand and helped him up. At once the man's feet and ankles became strong.

8. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. He went with Peter and John into the temple courtyards. He walked and jumped and praised God.

9. All the people saw him walking and praising God.

10. They recognized him as the same man who used to sit and beg at the temple gate called Beautiful. They were filled with wonder. They were amazed at what had happened to him.

11. The beggar was holding on to Peter and John. All the people were amazed. They came running to them at Solomon's Porch.

12. When Peter saw this, he said, "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us? We haven't made this man walk by our own power or godliness.
