Peter and John went to the temple. A man was there, at the Beautiful Gate, who had never been able to walk. He was begging people for money. “Can I have some money?” he asked Peter and John.The two disciples looked right at the man. They had no money, but they had something better to give him. “I don’t have any silver or gold,” said Peter, “but I have something else that I will happily give you.”“In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,” said Peter, “walk!” Peter took the man’s hand, and the man’s feet and ankles grew strong. The man got up and walked! Before long, he wasn’t just walking; he was jumping around and praising God!The people had seen him at the gate. They knew that he had been lame from birth. Yet, here he was, walking and leaping and thanking God! Everyone was amazed!Peter told the people about the one whose power had healed the man. He told them about Jesus. When he was done, many of them decided to follow Jesus, too!
The man asked for money, but he was healed instead. Was this better than money? Why?How did the people react when the man was healed?

This Week’s Bible Story
A Crippled Man is Healed (Acts 3) Peter healed a man through the power of Jesus’ name. But the crippled man was not the only person who was helped. When they found out who had healed the man, many people decided to follow Jesus too. Today, Jesus’ followers can still call upon the name of Jesus for help.
