Acts 3:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 3:3

A Lame Man Healed

1 Now Peter and John went up together ^ato the temple at the hour of prayer, ^bthe ninth hour.

2 And ^aa certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, ^bto ask alms from those who entered the temple;

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.
