At Lystra there was a man sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from birth, who had never walked.

And he leaped up and began to walk.

With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God, and they recognized him as the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
