Acts 3
Acts 3 is the third chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

This chapter records the healing of a disabled person by the apostles Peter and John, and Peter's preaching at Solomon's Portico in the Temple. Text. The original text was written in Koine Greek and is divided into 26 verses. Textual witnesses. Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are: A  lame man healed (3:1–10).

The temple in Jerusalem had several gates, but it is not clear which one might have been called Beautiful. No ancient source mentions the Beautiful Gate, but the Nicanor Gate is probably the best guess. Traditionally the gate is identified with the Shushan Gate but, according to C. K. Barrett, that gate was not a suitable location for a beggar. Verse 6. The healing of the lame man in this  chapter is the inspiration of some songs. One such example is the children's song "Silver and Gold Have I None". No other name (3:11–26). These verses record Peter's second speech (after Acts 2), which addresses the same two questions as his first: 'What does this mean?' (cf. 2:12) and 'What shall we do?' (cf. 2:37). Verses 22–23.
