St. Peter and St. John Healing Cripple at Gate of Temple, 1513, Albrecht Dürer, German, 1471–1528, 4 5/8 x 2 15/16 in. (11.75 x 7.46 cm) (image), Engraving, Germany, 16th century, This last scene of the 'Engraved Passion' has been left out of most of the old copies preserved. Since this subject lies outside the scope of a Passion series, Dürer cannot have intended it to be the final sheet, but must have planned to add further subjects which were never completed. It depicts a New Testament episode in the Acts of the Apostles (3:1-10), in which Peter and John heal a cripple begging outside the Beautiful Gate of the temple in Jerusalem. The cripple's disease has been identified as leprosy.
