John and Peter found a lame man at the east gate of the Temple (called "Beautiful") and healed him in the
name of Jesus of Nazareth. They were brought before the Sanhedrin for this action. This incident was the first of many occasions
when Peter and other apostles had to defend their faith and miracles before authorities.

Acts of the Apostles, 3:1-10.
1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
2 And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple.
3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.
4 And Peter directed his gaze at him, with John, and said, "Look at us."
5 And he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus of Narazeth, walk."
7 And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
8 And leaping up he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 and recognized him as the one who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
