Acts 3:2-11

2A man who was lame from birth was being carried there. He was placed each day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so that he could beg from those entering the temple.

3When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked for money.

4Peter, along with John, looked straight at him and said, “Look at us.”

5So he turned to them, expecting to get something from them.

6But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

7Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong.

8So he jumped up and started to walk, and he entered the temple with them — walking, leaping, and praising God.

9All the people saw him walking and praising God,

10and they recognized that he was the one who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. So they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.

11While he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astonished, ran toward them in what is called Solomon’s Colonnade.
