Acts 3:9 Meaning and 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.
