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

Uplifting Power Acts 3:1-10 Peter and John differed greatly, in age, in gift, and in point of view. They had been rivals; now they walked together. It was at three in the afternoon that this incident took place. As they climbed the Temple steps, they must have spoken of the many times that the Master had walked at their side. But they realized, too, that He was still as near as ever; and so they became the means of linking this withered man to His glorious health-giving power. It was because... read more

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

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

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:6

‘But Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” ’ Peter then informed him that he had no money, no silver or gold, the things that men craved after as they sat in the dust. Those could be found in the Temple, but he had none of that. But what he did have meant that he could offer him something better. We can compare here Proverbs 23:1 where loving favour is specifically represented as better than silver and gold.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:7-8

‘And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up, and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength. And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.’ Then Peter reached out and, taking him by the right hand, raised him up. And the man immediately felt the strength entering his ankle-bones, and in faith he leaped up and stood and began to walk. The detailed descriptions bring out each step of faith... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:9-10

‘And all the people saw him walking and praising God, and they took knowledge of him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.’ When the people saw him they were filled with ‘wonder and amazement’ at what had happened to him, for they recognised who he was. They recognised him as the lame man who had for so long begged for alms at one of the gates of the Temple. And now here he was walking... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:11

‘And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.’ The contrast here is significant. The man held on to Peter and John, full of faith and confidence. He would not let them go. The crowd ran together greatly wondering. But what would they do? The porch might be called ‘Solomon’s’. But would they reveal the wisdom of Solomon in their response? Would they too ‘hold on’ to the Apostles? or would they remain ‘lame’. read more
