1NowG1161 1PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 were goingG305 up to the templeG2413 at the 2ninthG1729 hour, 3the hourG5610 of prayerG4335. 2And 4a manG435 who had beenG5225 lameG5560 from his mother’sG3384 wombG2836 was being carriedG941 along, whomG3739 they 5used to setG5087 downG5087 everyG2596 dayG2250 at the gateG2374 of the templeG2413 which is calledG3004 BeautifulG5611, 6in order to begG154 7almsG1654 of thoseG3588 who were enteringG1531 the templeG2413. 3When he sawG3708 8PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 aboutG3195 to goG1524 into the templeG2413, he began askingG2065 to receiveG2983 almsG1654. 4But PeterG4074, alongG4862 with JohnG2491, 9fixedG816 his gazeG816 on him and saidG3004, “LookG991 at us!” 5And he began to giveG1907 them his attentionG1907, expectingG4328 to receiveG2983 somethingG5100 from them. 6But PeterG4074 saidG3004, “I do not possessG5225 silverG694 and goldG5553, but whatG3739 I do haveG2192 I giveG1325 to you: 10In the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the NazareneG3480--walkG4043!” 7And seizingG4084 him by the rightG1188 handG5495, he raisedG1453 him up; and immediatelyG3916 his feetG939 and his anklesG4974 were strengthenedG4732. 81112With a leapG1814 he stoodG2476 uprightG2476 and began to walkG4043; and he enteredG1525 the templeG2413 with them, walkingG4043 and leapingG242 and praisingG134 GodG2316. 9And 13allG3956 the peopleG2992 sawG3708 him walkingG4043 and praisingG134 GodG2316; 10and they were takingG1921 noteG1921 of him as beingG1510 the one who used to 14sitG2521 at the BeautifulG5611 GateG4439 of the templeG2413 to beg almsG1654, and they were filledG4092 with wonderG2285 and amazementG1611 at what had happenedG4819 to him.
11While he was clingingG2902 to 15PeterG4074 and JohnG2491, allG3956 the peopleG2992 ranG4936 togetherG4936 to them at the so-calledG2564 1617porticoG4745 of SolomonG4672, fullG1569 of amazementG1569. 12But when PeterG4074 sawG3708 this, he repliedG611 to the peopleG2992, “MenG435 of IsraelG2475, whyG5101 are you amazedG2296 at thisG3778, orG2228 whyG5101 do you gazeG816 at us, as ifG5613 by our ownG2398 powerG1411 orG2228 pietyG2150 we had madeG4160 him walkG4043? 1318The GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384, 19the GodG2316 of our fathersG3962, has glorifiedG1392 His 2021servantG3816 JesusG2424, the one whomG3739 22you deliveredG3860 and disownedG720 in the presenceG4383 of 23PilateG4091, when he had 24decidedG2919 to releaseG630 Him. 14But you disownedG720 25the HolyG40 and RighteousG1342 OneG1342 and 26askedG154 for a murdererG5406 to be grantedG5483 to you, 15but putG615 to deathG615 the 2728PrinceG747 of lifeG2222, the one whomG3739 29GodG2316 raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, a fact to whichG3739 we are 30witnessesG3144. 16And on the basisG1909 of faithG4102 31in His nameG3686, it is 32the nameG3686 of Jesus which has strengthenedG4732 thisG3778 man whomG3739 you seeG2334 and knowG3609; and the faithG4102 which comes throughG1223 Him has givenG1325 him thisG3778 perfectG3647 healthG3647 in the presenceG561 of you allG3956.
