New Testament

Acts 3:4-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. Peter, gazing at him with John, said, “Look at us.”

5. So he paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.

6. Then Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

7. He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.

8. Jumping up, he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God.

9. All the people saw him walking and praising God.

10. They knew 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 happened to him.

11. As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the entrance that is called Solomon’s Porch, greatly amazed.

12. When Peter saw it, he answered the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Or why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

13. The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His Son ­Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.
