A Lame Man Walks
1 AND Peter and John went up into the temple, at the ninth hour of prayer.📜💬📚
2 And a certain man that was lame from his mother's womb, was carried; whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, that is called Specious, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple.📜💬📚
3 He, when he had seen Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive an alms.📜💬📚
4 But Peter with John looking upon him, said: Look upon us.📜💬📚
5 But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them.📜💬📚
6 But Peter said: Silver and gold I have not, but that which I have, the same I give to thee: In the name of JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth arise, and walk.📜💬📚
7 And taking his right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet & soles were made strong.📜💬📚
8 And springing he stood, & walked; & went in with them into the temple walking, and leaping, and praising God.📜💬📚
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God.📜💬📚
10 And they knew him, that it was he which sat for alms at the Specious gate of the temple: and they were exceedingly astonished and aghast at that that had chanced to him.📜💬📚
Peter Speaks in Solomon's Colonnade
11 And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them unto the porch which is called Salomon's, wondering.📜💬📚
12 But Peter seeing them, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why marvel you at this, or why look you upon us, as though by our power or holiness we have made this man to walk?📜💬📚
13 The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his Son JESUS, whom you indeed delivered & denied before the face of Pilate, he judging him to be released.📜💬📚
14 But you denied the Holy and the Just One, and asked a mankiller to be given unto you.📜💬📚
15 But the Author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.📜💬📚
16 And in the faith of his name, this man whom you see and know, his name hath strengthened; & the faith which is by him, hath given this perfect health in the sight of all you.📜💬📚
