Acts 3:5
Compare all
3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.
4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.”
5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: aIn the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”  
7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

Acts 3:5

Gave heed unto them (epeixen autoiv). Imperfect active of epexw, to hold to. For the idiom with ton noun understood see Acts 7:14; I Timothy 4:16. He held his eyes right on Peter and John with great eagerness "expecting to receive something" (prosdokwn ti labein). He took Peter's invitation as a promise of a large gift.
