Peter Heals a Crippled Man

3 One day Peter and John went to the Temple at ·three o’clock [^Lthe ninth hour; time was reckoned from dawn, traditionally set at 6 AM], ·the time set each day for the afternoon prayer service [^Lthe hour of prayer]. ² There, at the Temple gate called Beautiful Gate [^Cunknown location, perhaps one of several gates between various courtyards], was a man who had been ·crippled [lame] ·all his life [^Lfrom his mother’s womb]. Every day ·he was carried to [people would lay him at] this gate to beg for ·money [alms] from the people going into the Temple [^Cthe Temple complex; 2:46]. ³ The man saw Peter and John going into the Temple [^Ccourts; 2:46] and asked them for ·money [alms; help]. ⁴ Peter and John looked ·straight [intently] at him and said, “Look at us!” ⁵ The man ·looked at [paid attention to] them, thinking they were going to give him ·some money [^Lsomething]. ⁶ But Peter said, “·I don’t have any silver or gold, but ·I do have something else I can give you [^Lwhat I do have, I give to you]. ·By the power [^LIn the name] of Jesus Christ ·from Nazareth [or the Nazarene], stand up and walk [Luke 5:23]!” ⁷ Then Peter took the man’s right hand and ·lifted [raised] him up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong. ⁸ He ·jumped up [leaped], stood on his feet, and began to walk. He went into the Temple [^Ccourts; 2:46] with them, walking and ·jumping [leaping] and praising God [Is. 35:4–6]. All the people recognized him as the ·crippled [lame] man who always sat by the Beautiful Gate [3:2] begging for ·money [alms; help]. Now they saw this same man walking and praising God, and they were amazed. ·They wondered how this could happen [or …and stunned/astonished at what had happened].
