B. The expansion of the church in Jerusalem 3:1-6:7Luke recorded the events of this section to document the continued expansion of the church and to identify the means God used to produce growth.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 3:1-10

The healing of a lame Man 1:3-10Luke had just referred to the apostles’ teaching, to the awe that many of the Jews felt, to the apostles doing signs and wonders, and to the Christians meeting in the temple (Acts 2:43-44; Acts 2:46). Now he narrated a specific incident that included these elements. The Gospel writers also chose a healing to illustrate the nature of Jesus’ early ministry (Matthew 8:2-4; Mark 1:40-45; Luke 5:12-16; Luke 5:24; John 4:46-54). The healing of this man resulted in the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 3:3-6

"In the East it was the custom for beggars to sit begging at the entrance to a temple or a shrine. Such a place was, and still is, considered the best of all stances because, when people are on their way to worship God, they are disposed to be generous to their fellow men." [Note: Barclay, p. 28.] Peter told the beggar to look at him and John so Peter could have his full attention. Peter than gave him a gift far better than the one he expected to receive. This is typical of how God deals with... read more

The Lame Man Healed1-26. Healing of the lame man. Speech of Peter. St. Luke here singles out from the multitude of ’wonders and signs done by the Apostles’ (Acts 2:43), the one which led to the first persecution.1. The ninth hour] The hours of prayer were the third (Acts 2:15), when the morning sacrifice was offered; the sixth (noon); and the ninth, the time of the evening sacrifice.2.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 3:6

(6) Silver and gold have I none.—The narrative of Acts 2:45 shows that the Apostles were treasurers and stewards of the sums committed to their charge by the generous self-denial of the community. Either, therefore, we must assume that the words meant that they had no silver or gold with them at the time, or that, as almoners, they thought themselves bound to distribute what was thus given them in trust, for the benefit of members of the society of which they were officers and for them only.... read more

Healing and Suffering Acts 3:16 Perfect soundness! Of this there was no doubt. The rulers themselves acknowledged they could say nothing against it. The fact was patent to all. But the marvel was 'perfect soundness' in a moment of time after a lifetime of lameness. The secret was faith in His name. Not faith in the unreality of lameness. Not faith in the non-existence of a twisted limb. Not faith in the doctrine of illusion by which a man who has been really always able to walk has been since... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Acts 3:1-6

Chapter 8THE FIRST MIRACLE.Acts 3:1-6THE Acts of the Apostles considered as the first history of the Church may be viewed as typical of all ecclesiastical history. It is in this respect a microcosm wherein, on a small scale, we see represented the triumphs and the mistakes, the strength and the weakness, of God’s elect people throughout all the ages. Thus in the incident before us, embracing the whole of the third chapter and the greater portion of the fourth, we have set forth a victory of the... read more

CHAPTER 3 1. The Healing of the lame Man (Acts 3:1-11 ). 2. Peter’s address and appeal (Acts 3:12-26 ). The lame man, forty years old, at the gate called Beautiful is the type of the moral condition of the nation, like the impotent man whom the Lord healed (John 5:1-47 ). Israel with all its beautiful religious ceremonies was helpless, laying outside with no strength to enter in. Peter commands the lame man in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise up and to walk. He is instantly... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:1-26

In this great work the apostles were not dealing only with large numbers. As Peter and John went to the temple, not to speak, but at the mid afternoon hour of prayer, they contacted a man lame from his birth, laid at the gate of the temple, who begged from them. Drawing the man's attention to them, Peter tells him he has no silver or gold, but will give what he has. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth the man is healed immediately of his lameness, and not only healed, but given strength to... read more
