Acts 3 — Silver and Gold I Do Not Have

Peter heals a lame beggar at the temple gate with the name of Jesus, then preaches that the Author of life, killed and raised, is the prophet Moses foretold.

A man lame from birth asks alms at the temple gate; Peter says, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

The man leaps up, walks, and praises God, drawing astonished crowds to Solomon's portico.

Peter preaches: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob glorified Jesus, whom they killed; he is the Author of life, raised by God.

He calls them to repent and turn back, that their sins may be blotted out and times of refreshing come from the presence of the Lord.
