Petrus autem et Joánnes ascendébant in templum ad horam oratiónis nonam. Et quidam vir, qui erat claudus ex útero matris suæ, bajulabátur ; quem ponébant quotídie ad portam templi, quæ dícitur Speciósa, ut péteret eleemósynam ab introëúntibus in templum. Is cum vidísset Petrum et Joánnem incipiéntes introíre in templum, rogábat ut eleemósynam accíperet. Intuens autem in eum Petrus cum Joánne, dixit : Réspice in nos. At ille intendébat in eos, sperans se áliquid acceptúrum ab eis. Petrus autem dixit : Argéntum et aurum non est mihi : quod autem hábeo, hoc tibi do : In nómine Jesu Christi Nazaréni surge, et ámbula. |
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. |

R. Christus
resúrgens ex mórtuis, jam non móritur, mors illi ultra non dominábitur :
quod enim mórtuus est peccáto, mórtuus est semel :
* Quod autem vivit, vivit Deo, allelúja,
allelúja. |
R. Christ
being raised from the dead dieth no more ; death hath no more dominion
over him : for in that he died, he died unto sin once : *
But in that he liveth, he liveth unto
God, alleluia, alleluia. |

Et, apprehénsa manu ejus déxtera, allevávit eum, et prótinus consolidátæ sunt bases ejus et plantæ. Et exsíliens stetit, et ambulábat ; et intrávit cum illis in templum ámbulans, et exsíliens, et laudans Deum. Et vidit omnis pópulus eum ambulántem, et laudántem Deum. Cognoscébant autem illum, quod ipse erat, qui ad eleemósynam sedébat ad Speciósam portam templi : et impléti sunt stupóre et éxtasi in eo, quod contígerat illi. Cum tenéret autem Petrum et Joánnem, cucúrrit omnis pópulus ad eos ad pórticum, quæ appellátur Salomónis, stupéntes. |
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God: and they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. |

Shepherd is risen, who laid down his life for his sheep, and vouchsafed to

Videns autem Petrus, respóndit ad pópulum : Viri Israëlítæ, quid mirámini in hoc, aut nos quid intuémini, quasi nostra virtúte aut potestáte fecérimus hunc ambuláre? Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrórum glorificávit Fílium suum Jesum, quem vos quidem tradidístis, et negástis ante fáciem Piláti, judicánte illo dimítti. Vos autem Sanctum et Justum negástis, et petístis virum homicídam donári vobis : auctórem vero vitæ interfecístis, quem Deus suscitávit a mórtuis, cujus nos testes sumus. Et in fide nóminis ejus, hunc, quem vidístis et nostis, confirmávit nomen ejus : et fides, quæ per eum est, dedit íntegram sanitátem istam in conspéctu ómnium vestrum. |
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; and killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. |
