Summary for the teacher

At the Temple gate called Beautiful, a man who had never walked was begging for money. Peter and John looked at him, and Peter said: "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: in the name of Jesus, get up and walk". The man stood up and went into the Temple jumping and praising God.
