Peter and John at the Temple Gate
Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn 1606 – 1669
pen drawing (22 × 17 cm) — 1629
Acts 3:6 - 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.
At one of the entrances to the temple in Jerusalem a crippled man asks Peter and John for alms. Peter replies that he has no gold or silver. He then commands the man: "Rise up and walk". The man, who was born lame, immediately rises and follows the apostles into the temple, dancing and jumping.
