Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:1-11

1-11 The apostles and the first believers attended the temple worship at the hours of prayer. Peter and John seem to have been led by a Divine direction, to work a miracle on a man above forty years old, who had been a cripple from his birth. Peter, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, bade him rise up and walk. Thus, if we would attempt to good purpose the healing of men's souls, we must go forth in the name and power of Jesus Christ, calling on helpless sinners to arise and walk in the way of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 3:1-99

Acts 3 THE ACTS is an historical book, but it is not mere history. An immense amount of apostolic service is left unrecorded, and mention is made of just a few incidents which serve to show the way the Spirit of God operated in bearing witness to the risen and exalted Jesus, and in conducting the disciples into the fulness of Christian blessing. The book covers a period of transition from the beginning of the church at Jerusalem to the full ingathering from among the Gentiles. This chapter... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 3:4-11

The miracle of healing: v. 4. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. v. 5. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. v. 6. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. v. 7. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up; and immediately his feet and ankle-bones received strength. v. 8. And he, leaping up, stood, and walked, and... read more

B.—Peter’s Testimony Concerning Jesus, Delivered In The Presence Of The PeopleActs 3:11-2611And as the lame man which was healed4 held [But as the lame man held fast to] Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering [full of wonder]. 12And [But] when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel [Ye Israelitish men], why marvel ye at this [this man]? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 3:1-13

Acts ‘THEN SHALL THE LAME MAN LEAP AS AN HART’ Act_3:1 - Act_3:16 . ‘Many wonders and signs were done by the Apostles’ Act_2:43, but this one is recorded in detail, both because it was conspicuous as wrought in the Temple, and because it led to weighty consequences. The narrative is so vivid and full of minute particulars that it suggests an eye-witness. Was Peter Luke’s informant? The style of the story is so like that of Mark’s Gospel that we might reasonably presume so. The scene and the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 3:11-26

Searching Words Acts 3:11-26 Peter’s sermon was delivered in the eastern colonnade of the Temple. It derived its name probably from the fact that Solomon’s Porch had originally occupied that site. The Apostle argued that the gospel which was given them to proclaim was only the flower of the revelations which had been given them through the prophets. How vast the change wrought in this man by the strength and illumination imparted to him at Pentecost! Why should we not seek to be similarly... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 3:1-26

The men at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple is the illustration of a constant fact: approximation to God is a habit of humanity in its need. Mendicants are not often found at the doors where an infidel lecture has been delivered. In speaking to the man, Peter revealed the essential meaning of Christianity. He was not able to minister to the man in material things so far as silver and gold were concerned. He was, however, able to communicate to him something which would make him master of his... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Acts 3:1-11

A Pitiful Pauper at the Beautiful Gate Acts 3:1-11 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is impossible for us even to suggest the many striking lessons that surround the story of the pitiful pauper at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. Many things are seen on the surface, but the most striking of all are those things which lie deeper in, and are usually overlooked. For instance the healing of this pitiful pauper was due to two men who, faithful to their spiritual need, went up to the Temple at the hour of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:1-26

The Ministry of the Apostles (3:1-6:7). The pouring out of the Holy Spirit having taken place, and the infant church having been shown to be established, Luke now goes on to deal with the way in which the infant church rapidly expanded, firstly through the ministry of the Apostles (Acts 3:1 to Acts 6:7), and then more widely through the ministry of some of their appointees (Acts 6:8 to Acts 9:31). God is revealed as at work in sovereign power, and His Apostles are having to keep up. But it is... read more
