What was the name of the crippled beggar Peter healed at the 'Beautiful Gate' of the Temple?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: He is unnamed
In Acts 3, Peter and John encountered a man lame from birth at the temple gate. Peter famously said, 'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you,' and healed him in the name of Jesus. The text does not record the man's name.
