But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, this I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk." And, seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and instantly his feet and ankles were strengthened; and, leaping forth, he stood, and was walking about; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
