8 und aufspringend stand er und wandelte; und er ging mit ihnen in den Tempel, wandelte und sprang und lobte Gott.

Apostelgeschichte 3:8 Meaning and 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 them into the temple;
to join with them in divine worship, to acknowledge the goodness of God to him, and to show respect to the instruments he made use of in his cure:

and leaping;
for joy of the mercy, and that it might appear to all that he was thoroughly cured of his lameness: and thus the prophecy in ( Isaiah 35:6 ) "then shall the lame man leap as an hart", was literally fulfilled:

and praising God;
and not the apostles; for he knew that this was owing to the power of God, and could never have been done by man; though he might not be ungrateful to the instruments.

Apostelgeschichte 3:8 In-Context

6 Petrus aber sprach: Silber und Gold habe ich nicht; was ich aber habe, das gebe ich dir: In dem Namen Jesu Christi, des Nazaräers, stehe auf und wandle!
7 Und er ergriff ihn bei der rechten Hand und richtete ihn auf. Alsbald aber wurden seine Füße und seine Knöchel stark,
8 und aufspringend stand er und wandelte; und er ging mit ihnen in den Tempel, wandelte und sprang und lobte Gott.
9 Und das ganze Volk sah ihn wandeln und Gott loben;
10 und sie erkannten ihn, daß er der war, welcher um das Almosen an der schönen Pforte des Tempels gesessen; und sie wurden mit Verwunderung und Erstaunen erfüllt über das, was sich mit ihm ereignet hatte.
