7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
7 And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
7 He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm.
7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
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.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Acts 3:7
Commentary on Acts 3:1-11
(Read Acts 3:1-11)
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 holiness, by faith in Him. How sweet the thought to our souls, that in respect to all the crippled faculties of our fallen nature, the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth can make us whole! With what holy joy and rapture shall we tread the holy courts, when God the Spirit causes us to enter therein by his strength!
