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: 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.

10 Sie kannten ihn auch, daß er's war, der um Almosen gesessen hatte vor der schönen Tür des Tempels; und sie wurden voll Wunderns und Entsetzens über das, was ihm widerfahren war.
