Acts 3:1-9 Now during those days Peter and John – as was their habit – were progressively walking up i.e., ascending the terraces unto the Temple courts and grounds in the afternoon, as it was coming upon the hour of the prayer note: the time of the evening sacrifice and the prayer which accompanied the offering of incense; there were three hours of prayer: the third, the sixth, the ninth, the ninth (three o'clock).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now during those days Peter and John – as was their habit – were progressively walking up [i.e., ascending the terraces] unto the Temple courts and grounds in the afternoon, as it was coming upon the hour of the prayer [note: the time of the evening sacrifice and the prayer which accompanied the offering of incense; there were three hours of prayer: the third, the sixth, the ninth], the ninth (three o'clock). ² And now a certain adult man, being inherently lame (or: crippled) from out of his mother's womb (= since birth), was in the process of being carried, whom they were in the habit of daily placing near and facing toward the gate (entrance) of the Temple courts – the one normally being called "Beautiful" (or: Timely [from the noun: hour]; Seasonable; Lovely [note: the term is used figuratively of a virgin ready for marriage; the entrance is elsewhere called the Gate of Nicanor; an external gate leading into the court of the Gentiles]) – in order to continue asking for an act of mercy (= to beg for alms) at the side of the folks normally going their way into the Temple grounds and courts, ³ who, upon catching sight of Peter and John being about to be entering into the Temple complex, began requesting to receive a gift of mercy (alms) [from them]. ⁴ So Peter, together with John, staring intently into him, said, "Look unto (or: into) us!" ⁵ Now the man began holding [his] attention on them, progressively anticipating to at once receiving (or: take) something from them. ⁶ However, Peter said, "Silver and gold [coin] is not normally a subsistence for me (or: is not a possession with me), yet what I do continuously have, this I am presently giving to you: Within, and in union with, the Name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, start walking, and then keep on walking about (around)!" ⁷ And so, taking a firm grasp on him by [his] right hand, he raised him up. Now instantly and with usefulness the bases of his feet (the part directly under his legs) and the ankle bones were made firm with strength, and were given stability. ⁸ Then, after repeatedly leaping forth, he stood a moment, then began walking around. Next, together with them, he entered into the Temple courts – constantly walking around and leaping and praising God! ⁹ And so all the people saw him continuously walking around and praising God.
