The Acts 3:1-13 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, which is the ninth hour;

2. and a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they placed every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were going into the temple;

3. who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.

4. And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5. And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.

6. But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.

7. And having taken hold of him by the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong.

8. And leaping up he stood and walked, and 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 recognised him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

11. And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

12. And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?

13. The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.
