3:1-8.In Acts 3, Peter and John heal a man who was lame from birth. There are three ways to look at the miracle of this passage. First, we can look at the man himself. Over 40 years old (Acts 4:22), he was doubt- less a pitiable sight. It is not unlikely that for 15-30 years he had sat at this spot—long since without hope of health—yet the grace of...
3:13-15.The words of Peter are no doubt totally unexpected by the crowd. They were worshippers who had just been praying to the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” Peter does not commend them for this, but instead accuses them of the crucifixion of Christ. They are religious, yet guilty of the world’s greatest sin. The verses of this pas- sage thus ...
3:17. Israel’s ignorance is used by God as a basis for opening a door of mercy to them. Verse 17 is a remarkable statement (especially since it includes the rulers) when we recall the plotting, scheming, jealousy, hatred, viciousness, and mockery of the people and rulers. Yet all sin is rooted in ignorance (cf. Eph 4:18; 1 Pet 1:14). Read John 8:31...
3:22-26.Peter presents Israel with three great motivations to accept the kingdom offered by Christ. First, is the greatness of the Person who had spoken to them (vv 22-23).

Nov 21, 2022 · Peter then commanded the man in the name of Jesus the Nazarene to walk (Acts 3:6). This would have seemed a strange direction to give a man who had been lame from birth, but Peter did not leave it at that. Peter grabbed the man’s right hand and pulled him up, and immediately the man’s feet and ankles were strengthened (Acts 3:7). “He ...
Dec 1, 2021 · The verses say that Peter and John were about to enter the temple courts that surrounded the temple. The lame man was begging near one of the gates that led into the courtyards. The location of the temple gate referred to as “The Beautiful Gate” is unclear. Various theories have been proposed.
Yet, Peter does have a gift for the lame man, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—walk! Peter commands the man to walk, something he cannot do naturally because he is lame from his mother’s womb. From the day he was born to this day, he has never once walked.
7 Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. 8 He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.
