1NowG1161 1PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 were goingG305 upG305 to the templeG2413 at the 2ninthG1729 hour, 3the hourG5610 of prayerG4335. 2And 4a manG435 who had beenG5225 unableG5560 toG5560 walkG5560 from 5birthG3384G2836 was being carriedG941, whomG3739 they 6used to setG5087 downG5087 everyG2596 dayG2250 at the gateG2374 of the templeG2413 which is calledG3004 BeautifulG5611, 7in order for him to begG154 for charitableG1654 giftsG1654 from thoseG3588 enteringG1531 the templeG2413 grounds. 3When he sawG3708 8PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 aboutG3195 toG3195 goG1524 intoG1524 the templeG2413 grounds, he began askingG2065 to receiveG2983 a charitableG1654 giftG1654. 4But PeterG4074, alongG4862 with JohnG2491, 9lookedG816 at him intentlyG816 and saidG3004, “LookG991 at us!” 5And he gaveG1907 them his attentionG1907, expectingG4328 to receiveG2983 somethingG5100 from them. 6But PeterG4074 saidG3004, “I do not haveG5225 silverG694 and goldG5553, but whatG3739 I do haveG2192 I giveG1325 to you: 10In the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the NazareneG3480, walkG4043!” 7And graspingG4084 him by the rightG1188 handG5495, he raisedG1453 him upG1453; and immediatelyG3916 his feetG939 and his anklesG4974 were strengthenedG4732. 8And 11leapingG1814 upG1814, he stoodG2476 and began to walkG4043; and he enteredG1525 the templeG2413 with them, walkingG4043 and leapingG242 and praisingG134 GodG2316. 9And 12allG3956 the peopleG2992 sawG3708 him walkingG4043 and praisingG134 GodG2316; 10and they recognizedG1921 him as beingG1510 the veryG846 one who used to 13sitG2521 at the BeautifulG5611 GateG4439 of the templeG2413 to beg for charitableG1654 giftsG1654, and they were filledG4092 with wonderG2285 and amazementG1611 at what had happenedG4819 to him.

11While he was clingingG2902 to 14PeterG4074 and JohnG2491, allG3956 the peopleG2992 ranG4936 togetherG4936 to them at the 1516porticoG4745 namedG2564 Solomon’sG4672, completelyG1569 astonishedG1569. 12But when PeterG4074 sawG3708 this, he repliedG611 to the peopleG2992, “MenG435 of IsraelG2475, whyG5101 areG2296 you amazedG2296 at thisG3778, orG2228 whyG5101 are you staringG816 at us, asG5613 thoughG5613 by our ownG2398 powerG1411 orG2228 godlinessG2150 we had madeG4160 him walkG4043? 1317The GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, IsaacG2464, and JacobG2384, 18the GodG2316 of our fathersG3962, has glorifiedG1392 His 1920ServantG3816 JesusG2424, the one whomG3739 21you handedG3860 overG3860 and disownedG720 in the presenceG4383 of 22PilateG4091, when he had 23decidedG2919 to releaseG630 Him. 14But you disownedG720 24the HolyG40 and RighteousG1342 OneG1342, and 25askedG154 for a murdererG5406 to be grantedG5483 to you, 15but putG615 toG615 deathG615 the 2627PrinceG747 of lifeG2222, whomG3739 28GodG2316 raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, 29a 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.
