Paul and Barnabas in Lystra and Derbe

⁸ In Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet and had never walked, for he had been lame from birth.^(A)

² And a man lame from birth was being carried in. People would lay him daily at the gate of the temple called the Beautiful Gate so that he could ask for alms from those entering the temple.^(A)

⁹ if we are being questioned today because of a good deed done to someone who was sick and are being asked how this man has been healed,^[a]

A Man Born Blind Receives Sight

9 As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. ² His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

⁷ The ill man answered him, “Sir,^[a] I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am making my way someone else steps down ahead of me.”

³ In these lay many ill, blind, lame, and paralyzed people.^{[a] 5} One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
