Act 3:2 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Act 3:1      Act 3:3

Acts 3:2

They were just carrying there a man who had been lame [in his legs] from birth (literally: "from his mother's womb"). [The man was over 40 years old, see Acts 4:22.] Every day he was placed at the temple gate called the Beautiful Gate to beg from those entering the temple.
[The rabbis taught that there were three pillars of the Jewish faith: Torah study, prayer/worship, and charity. As beggars, the best places were near the offering boxes and at the main entrances where many people passed by.
The gate called "Beautiful Gate" may refer to the ornate Nicanor Gate in the temple. It stood between the women's courtyard, where the offering boxes were located, and the inner courtyard. Another possibility is the busiest southern double gate, which led into the temple area itself. Since they "enter the temple area" and then find themselves at Solomon's portico, it is likely that the outer southern double gate is the Beautiful Gate, see verses 8 and 11.]
