Today’s reading is: Acts 3 : 1-16
Peter Heals a Lame Beggar
1
One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer
at three in the afternoon. 2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being
carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to
beg from those going into the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John
about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as
did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold
I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, walk.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8 He jumped to his feet and
began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and
jumping, and praising God. 9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at
the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and
amazement at what had happened to him. 11 While the man held on to Peter
and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the
place called Solomon’s Colonnade. 12 When Peter saw this, he said to them:
“Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if
by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant
Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14 You disowned the Holy and
Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed
the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of
this. 16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was
made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has
completely healed him, as you can all see.

Welcome to Holy Trinity. If this is your first visit to Holy Trinity, or if you
