ACTS TEST

One day

Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon.

Now a

man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.

When he

saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

Peter

looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”

So the

man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

Then Pe-

-ter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

Taking

him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong.

He jumped

to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.

When all

the people saw him walking and praising God,

they re-

-cognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
