Actes 14:8 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 14:8

And there sat a certain man at Lystra
Where the apostle was preaching; and perhaps he sat there to beg, where there was a great concourse of people, and which might be in the open street: this man was

impotent in his feet;
so weak, as not to be able to walk, and even to stand on them, and therefore is said to sit:

being a cripple from his mother's womb;
he was born lame, as was the man cured by Peter, ( Acts 3:2 )

who never had walked;
these circumstances are mentioned, to show that his case was incurable by any human art, and to illustrate the following miracle.

Actes 14:8 In-Context

6 Ceux-ci l'apprenant, s'enfuirent dans les villes de Lycaonie, à Lystra et à Derbe, et dans le pays d'alentour,
7 Et ils y annoncèrent l'Évangile.
8 Or, il y avait à Lystra un homme impotent de ses jambes, qui était assis; il était perclus dès le sein de sa mère, et n'avait jamais marché.
9 Il écoutait parler Paul, qui, ayant arrêté les yeux sur lui, et voyant qu'il avait la foi pour être guéri,
10 Dit d'une voix forte: Lève-toi droit sur tes pieds. Aussitôt il sauta, et marcha.
