Acts 3:5 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 3:5

And he gave heed unto them
Or "he looked at them", as the Syriac version renders it, as they bid him: he was not only attentive to them in his mind, but he directed his eyes towards them, and looked wistly at them. This clause is left out in the Ethiopic version.

Expecting to receive something of them;
not a cure for his lameness, which he little thought of, but some money, as an alms.

Acts 3:5 In-Context

3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.

4 Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."

5 So he looked and waited, expecting to receive something from them.

6 "I have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"

7 Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
