Outside the temple in Jerusalem there was a man who had been unable to wall property since he was born. He used to sit there every day and beg for money from the people coming to the temple. One day Peter and John set off to walk to the temple. As they walked they were talking about everything that had happened to them. They were remembering their friend Jesus. As they got dose to the gate they heard a voice calling to them. "Please help me. Spare some change for a poor man.' Peter and John stopped. Peter spoke to the lame man, "Look at me' he said.

The man was really surprised. Usually he looked down at his poor lame feet all day long. But now, he loked up from the sandals into the eyes of the two men. He lifted his bowl high, hoping to qet money from them. But Peter said: *I dont have any money. I don't own silver or gold. But what I do have I'm going to give to you. "Peter was scared and the man was confused. But Peter remembered how Jesus helped people. Somehow he found the courage to speak.

"In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, get up and walk." Peter reached out a hand and pulled the man to his feet. Incredibly, unbelievably, the man found strength in his legs. He dropped his bowl, bent his knees, raised his arms and then began to jump! He began to
