Peter and John heal a man lame from birth
At the temple's Beautiful Gate, Peter told a man lame from birth to walk in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and he leaped up praising God. Arrested and questioned by the council, Peter and John refused to stop speaking about Jesus.
But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”
Acts 3:6 (World English Bible)
The man was over forty years old (Acts 4:22). Before the rulers, Peter declared that there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). The council saw the boldness of these uneducated fishermen and recognized that they had been with Jesus.
