Here is an unusual and weird story.  Comments in the next message.

1  Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the
hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2  And a certain man lame from his mothers 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;
3  Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an
alms.
4  And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on
us.
5  And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of
them.
6  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.
7  And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and
immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8  And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into
the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9  And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10  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.
11  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
Solomons, greatly wondering.
12  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?
13  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.
14  But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a
murderer to be granted unto you;
15  And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the
dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16  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.
