Acts 3:11

And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

He held Peter and John ... Clinging to the apostles was a natural expression of the beggar's gratitude; also, perhaps a childish fear had seized him, making him fearful that the healing might not last if he permitted the apostles out of his sight.

All the people ran together ... Thus the utility of the wonder is apparent in the gathering of a mighty throng of people who would hear the gospel. There was always a design in everything that God did.

Porch that is called Solomon's ... This porch is named twice in Acts, the other place being Acts 5:12, and once in John 10:23. It was located in the court of the heathen on the eastern side of the temple.

The opinion has long been, and still is, that it was placed on the spot where Solomon had made the entrance to the old temple, but still retained its name .... Some distinguished moderns think it was the identical porch Solomon built.[8]
