Acts 3:1
One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
2 And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.
3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
