Hechos 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 3:11

And as the lame man which was healed
This is left out in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions, and in the Alexandrian copy, which only read, and as he

held Peter and John;
by their clothes or arms, either through fear, lest his lameness should return on their leaving him; or rather out of affection to them for the favour he had received, and therefore hung about them, and was loath to part with them; unless it was to make them known, and point them out as the authors of his cure, that they might be taken notice of by others, and the miracle be ascribed unto them:

all the people ran together unto them;
to the man that was healed, and to Peter and John, when they saw him standing, walking, and leaping, and clinging about the apostles; who were

in the porch that is called Solomon's; (See Gill on John 10:23)

greatly wondering;
at the man that was cured; at the cure that was wrought upon him; and still more at the persons who did it, and the manner in which it was done.

Hechos 3:11 In-Context

9 Toda la gente lo vio caminar y lo oyó adorar a Dios.

10 Cuando se dieron cuenta de que él era el mendigo cojo que muchas veces habían visto junto a la puerta Hermosa, ¡quedaron totalmente sorprendidos!

11 Llenos de asombro, salieron todos corriendo hacia el pórtico de Salomón, donde estaba el hombre sujetando fuertemente a Pedro y a Juan.

12 Pedro predica en el templo
Pedro vio esto como una oportunidad y se dirigió a la multitud: «Pueblo de Israel —dijo—, ¿qué hay de sorprendente en esto? ¿Y por qué nos quedan viendo como si hubiéramos hecho caminar a este hombre con nuestro propio poder o nuestra propia rectitud?

13 Pues es el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob —el Dios de todos nuestros antepasados— quien dio gloria a su siervo Jesús al hacer este milagro. Es el mismo Jesús a quien ustedes rechazaron y entregaron a Pilato, a pesar de que Pilato había decidido ponerlo en libertad.
