Peter Heals a Man Lame From Birth In The Name of Jesus Christ The Nazarene
3 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth[a] hour. 2 And a certain man being lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they were putting daily at the gate of the temple being called “Beautiful”, that he might be asking-for alms[b] from the ones coming into the temple— 3 who, having seen Peter and John being about to go into the temple, was asking to receive alms. 4 And Peter, along with John, having looked-intently at him, said, “Look at us!” 5 And the one was fixing-his-attention-on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 And Peter said, “There is no silver and gold with me. But what I have, this I give to you— in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, arise and walk”. 7 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised him. And at once his feet and ankles were made-strong[c]. 8 And leaping-up, he stood and was walking-around. And he entered 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 were recognizing him— that he was the one sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and astonishment at the thing having happened to him.
The Disciples Argue Over Who Is Greatest. The Greatest Is The Servant of All
24 And a contention also took place among them as to which of them seems[a] to be greater[b]. 25 And the One said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are lording-over[c] them. And the ones having-authority over them are calling-themselves ‘Benefactors[d]’. 26 But you shall not be so. But let the greater[e] one among you be like the younger one; and the one leading like the one serving. 27 For who is greater, the one reclining-back [to eat] or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining-back? But I am in your midst as the One serving! 28 But you are the ones having continued with Me in My trials. 29 And I am conferring[f] you a kingdom, just as My Father conferred Me 30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging[g] the twelve tribes of Israel.
