John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:7

And he took him by the right hand ,.... In imitation of Christ, whom he had often seen using the same action on such occasions: and lift him up ; believing he was cured, and that it might be manifest. The word him is expressed in the Alexandrian copy, and in some others, and in the Oriental versions, which is a supplement in our translation: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength ; where, it seems, his lameness lay. The Vulgate Latin renders it, his bases and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:8

And he leaping up ,.... From off the bed or couch, or ground on which he lay: stood and walked ; stood firm and strong upon his feet, and walked about; by which it was abundantly manifest to himself and others, that he had a perfect cure. The Ethiopic version is a very ridiculous one, "and he went with them catching fishes"; as if upon this, before they went into the temple, he and the apostles went a fishing together, which has not the least foundation in the text: and entered with... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:9

And all the people ,.... That were in the temple, saw him walking ; who before lay on a couch, or on the ground, and was so lame, that he was obliged to be carried; and praising God ; for this miraculous cure. The Arabic version renders it, "saw him walking to praise God": that is, entering into the temple with the apostles, in order to offer up the sacrifice of praise to God there. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:10

And they knew it was he that sat for alms ,.... The Syriac version renders it, "they knew him to be that beggar that sat daily and asked alms". As he was daily brought thither, and had, for many years, it is very likely, sat there to ask alms of the people as they went into the temple; he was well known by them, and they had but just now passed him, and observed him in the same condition he had for a long time been, and knew him to be the same. It was a clear and indisputable point with... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:11

And as the lame man which was healed ,.... This is left out in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions, and in the Alexandrian copy, which only read, and as he held Peter and John ; by their clothes or arms, either through fear, lest his lameness should return on their leaving him; or rather out of affection to them for the favour he had received, and therefore hung about them, and was loath to part with them; unless it was to make them known, and point them out as the authors... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:12

And when Peter saw it ,.... That the people ran to them, and looked wistly upon them, and wondered at what was done: he answered unto the people, ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this ? either at this man, who was cured of his lameness, or at the cure itself: or why look ye so earnestly on us ; suggesting, that they ought to look to God, and observe his divine power, and to the Lord Jesus Christ, whom they had crucified, whose apostles they were, and in whose name, and by whose... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:13

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob ,.... These titles and epithets of God, which are used in the Old Testament, Exodus 3:6 the apostle chooses to retain, partly to distinguish him from the gods of the Gentiles, and partly to show his regard to the God of Israel, the one, only true, and living God; and that, though he and his fellow apostles were preachers of Christ, yet they were not setters forth of another, or a strange God, but believed in the same God their forefathers did,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:14

But ye denied the Holy One, and the just ,.... Who is "holy" both in his divine and human nature, and the fountain of holiness to his people; see Psalm 16:10 and who is "just" or "righteous", both in his person, and in the discharge of his office, and has wrought a righteousness for his people, which is imputed to them. These characters may have a particular regard to the purity of Christ, as man, and to the innocence of his life, and the harmlessness of his actions, in opposition to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:15

And killed the Prince of life ,.... Or author of life, natural, spiritual, and eternal; who not only is the living God, and has life in himself; and as man, had such a power over his own life, as no man ever had; but he is the author of a spiritual resurrection from the death of sin, to a life of grace, and has procured eternal life for his people, and gives it to them. Now this Lord of life and glory they crucified. His death is laid to them because it was at their request, and through... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:16

And his name, through faith in his name ,.... That is, the name of Christ, or the power of Christ, through the faith of the apostles in him, while they made use of his name, and said, "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth", &c.; Acts 3:6 or Christ, through the faith of the lame man in him; and when his name was used in this manner by the apostles; not that either their faith, or his, had any causal influence on the cure, but was the way and means in which they, glorifying Christ, he... read more
