And Peter and John went up into the temple, at the ninth hour of praying [at the ninth hour of prayer].

And a man, that was lame from the womb of his mother, was borne, and was laid each day at the gate of the temple [And some man that was lame from the womb of his mother, was borne, whom they put each day at the gate of the temple], that is said fair, to ask alms of men that entered into the temple.

This, when he saw Peter and John beginning to enter into the temple, prayed that he should take alms.

And Peter with John beheld on him, and said, Behold thou into us. [Forsooth Peter with John beholding him, said, Behold into us.]

And he beheld into them, and hoped, that he should take somewhat of them. [And he beheld into them, hoping him to take something of them.]

But Peter said, I have neither silver nor gold [Forsooth Peter said, Silver and gold is not to me]; but that that I have, I give to thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up, and go.

And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up; and at once [and anon] his legs and his feet were strengthened together;

and he leaped, and stood, and wandered. And he entered with them into the temple, and wandered, and leaped, and praised God. [and he leaping stood, and wandered. And he entered with them into the temple, wandering, and leaping, and praising God.]

And all the people saw him walking, and praising God.

10 And they knew him, that he it was that sat at alms at the fair gate of the temple. And they were filled with wondering, and astonishing, in that thing that befelled to him [And they were full-filled with wonder, and ecstasy, that is losing of mind and reason, and letting of tongue, in that thing that befell to him].

The crippled man is restored to his feet. Peter preaches Christ to the people.

Peter and John went up together into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer. And there was a certain man crippled from his mother’s womb, whom they brought and laid at the temple gate called Beautiful, to ask alms of the people that entered into the temple; which man, when he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, requested alms. And Peter fastened his eyes on him with John and said, Look on us. And he gave heed to them, trusting to receive something from them. Then said Peter, Silver and gold I do not have, but such as I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk! And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up. And immediately his feet and anklebones received strength. And he sprang up, stood, and also walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and lauding God.

And all the people saw him walk and laud God. 10 And they knew him, that it was the man who sat and begged at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and astonishment at what had happened to him.
