A Lame Beggar Healed At The Temple

1 Peter and John were on their way up to the temple at the three o'clock hour of prayer,

1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

1 Now (A)Peter and John were going up to the temple at the (a)ninth hour, (B)the hour of prayer.

1 Now Peter and John were going up together to the temple complex at the hour of prayer(A) at three in the afternoon.(a)

1 One afternoon, Peter and John were on their way to the Temple for the three o'clock prayer time.

2 when a man crippled from his birth was being carried by, who used to be laid every day at what was called The Beautiful Gate of the temple, to beg from people on their way into the temple.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

2 And (C)a man who had been lame from his mother’s womb was being carried along, whom they (D)used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, (E)in order to beg (b)alms of those who were entering the temple.

2 And a man who was lame from birth was carried there and placed every day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so he could beg from those entering the temple complex.(B)

2 Now a man who had been crippled from birth was being carried in. Every day people would lay him at what was called the Beautiful Gate so that he could beg from those who were going into the Temple.

3 So when he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked them to give him something.

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

3 When he saw (F)Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking to receive alms.

3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple complex, he asked for help.

3 When he saw that Peter and John were about to go into the Temple, he asked them to give him something.

4 Peter looked him straight in the eye, and so did John, and said, "Look at us."

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

4 But Peter, along with John, (G)fixed his gaze on him and said, “Look at us!”

4 Peter, along with John, looked at him intently and said, “Look at us.”

4 Peter, along with John, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Look at us!"

5 The beggar looked at them, supposing that he was going to get something from them.

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

5 And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

5 So he turned to them,(b) expecting to get something from them.

5 So the man watched them closely, expecting to get something from them.

6 But Peter said, "No silver or gold have I, but what I do have I will give you. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth start walking."

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

6 But Peter said, “I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: (H)In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—walk!”

6 But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but what I have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!”(C)

6 However, Peter said, "I don't have any silver or gold, but I'll give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus the Messiah from Nazareth, walk!"

7 Then he took him by the right hand and lifted him, and his feet and ankles instantly grew strong,

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength.

7 And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.

7 Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong.

7 Then Peter took hold of his right hand and began to help him up. Immediately his feet and ankles became strong,

8 and at once he leaped to his feet and started walking; then he went into the temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

8 (c)(I)With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

8 So he jumped up, stood, and started to walk, and he entered the temple complex with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.(D)

8 and he sprang to his feet, stood up, and began to walk. Then he went with them into the Temple, walking, jumping, and praising God.

9 When all the people saw him walking about and praising God,

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

9 And (J)all the people saw him walking and praising God;

9 All the people saw him walking and praising God,

9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

10 and recognized him as the very man who used to sit at The Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg, they were completely astounded and bewildered at what occurred to him.

10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
