Coptic New Testament
1Now Peter and John went up into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer.

2And a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb, was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple.

3He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.

5But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them.

6But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk.

7And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength.

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

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

11And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

12But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk?

13The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released.
