Acts 3:6

Silver and gold have I none;— This was after the estates were sold. Ch. Acts 2:45 and plainly shews how far the apostles were from enriching themselves by the treasures which passed through their hands. By his mentioning gold as well as silver, which a beggar like this could not expect to receive, he probably meant to speak of himself, as continuing still a poor man, and not merely to say that he had no gold about him. How unlike those, of his supposed successors are St. Peter's words and actions! Can the bishop of Rome either say or do the same?
