Apostelgeschichte 3:7 Meaning and 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 soles, which may include his legs and thighs, as well as feet; and the Syriac version, "his feet and soles"; and the Arabic version, "his soles, and the muscles adjoining to his heels"; and the Ethiopic version furthest off of all, "he was strengthened in his feet, and in his loins"; his disorder might be of the paralytic kind.

5 Und er sah sie an, wartete, daß er etwas von ihnen empfinge.

6 Petrus aber sprach: Gold und Silber habe ich nicht; was ich aber habe, das gebe ich dir: Im Namen Jesu Christi von Nazareth stehe auf und wandle!

7 Und griff ihn bei der rechten Hand und richtete ihn auf. Alsobald standen seine Schenkel und Knöchel fest;

8 sprang auf, konnte gehen und stehen und ging mit ihnen in den Tempel, wandelte und sprang und lobte Gott.

9 Und es sah ihn alles Volk wandeln und Gott loben.
