FIRST READING

ACTS 3:1-10

A READING FROM THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES

(I WILL GIVE YOU WHAT I HAVE: IN THE NAME OF JESUS STAND UP AND WALK!)

Once, when Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the prayers at the ninth hour,

it happened that there was a man being carried past.

He was a cripple from birth;

and they used to put him down every day near the Temple entrance called the Beautiful Gate

so that he could beg from the people going in.

When this man saw Peter and John on their way into the Temple he begged from them.

Both Peter and John looked straight at him and said, “Look at us.”

He turned to them expectantly,

hoping to get something from them,

but Peter said,

“I have neither silver nor gold, but I will give you what I have:

in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!”

Peter then took him by the hand and helped him to stand up.

Instantly his feet and ankles became firm,

he jumped up, stood, and began to walk,

and he went with them into the Temple,

walking and jumping and praising God.

Everyone could see him walking and praising God,

and they recognised him as the man

who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple.

They were all astonished and unable to explain ‎what had happened to him.

The word of the Lord.

R.) Thanks be to God.
