Each day a certain man was carried to the Beautiful Gate of the house of God. This man had never been able to walk. He was there begging for money from those who were going in.

Peter took the man by the right hand and lifted him up. At once his feet and the bones in his legs became strong.

12 P edro, vendo isto, disse ao povo: Varões israelitas, por que vos admirais deste homem? Ou, por que fitais os olhos em nós, como se por nosso próprio poder ou piedade o tivéssemos feito andar?

When Peter saw this, he said to them, “Jewish men, why are you surprised at this? Why do you look at us as if we had made this man walk by our own power or holy lives?

But you turned your backs against the Holy and Right One. Then you asked for a man who had killed someone to go free.
