left everything and followed the Lord.
-For the Lord's sake, they left everything, they considered it all as nothing, so that they might gain

the cross they could overcome all the powers of the enemy.

Story Time
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple
which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John
about to go into the temple asked an alms.
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them,
expecting to receive something of them. 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.
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones
received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking,
and leaping, and praising God.
And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for
alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple:and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had
happened unto him.
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them
in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. When Peter saw it, he answered unto the people,
Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power
or holiness we had made this man to walk?
