Peter and the Lame Beggar

Apostle Peter stands with his hand raised in a gesture of command and blessing as a crippled beggar leans forward on his crutch, clothed in worn garments and reaching out in need. The encounter recalls the healing at the temple gate in Acts 3, where Peter declares that silver and gold are not his gift, but in the name of Jesus Christ the lame man is commanded to rise and walk. The image emphasizes the meeting of poverty and apostolic authority: human need is answered not by wealth, but by the living power of Christ working through His witnesses.
