Contextual Overview

1 One day as Peter and John were going together to the temple, at the ninth hour, which was the hour of prayer, 2 they were carrying a man who had been lame from his birth, one whom they daily laid at the gate of the temple called, Beauty-gate, to ask alms of those that pass'd into the temple. 3 he seeing Peter and John going into the temple, asked alms of them. 4 Peter and John having their eyes upon him, Peter said, look on us. 5 at which he look'd very attentively, expecting to receive something of them. 6 then Peter said, silver and gold have I none; but such as I have I give thee: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk. 7 and taking him by the right hand, he lift him up; and immediately his feet and ancle-bones received strength. 8 so that he fell a leaping, and walking, and entred with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9 all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 and knowing it was he who us'd to sit begging at the Beauty-gate of the temple, they were filled with wonder and amazement at such an event.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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; :-

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Held Peter and John - The word “held” means that he “adhered” to them; he “joined himself” to them; he was desirous of “remaining” with them and “participating” with them. “He clung to his benefactors, and would not be separated from them” (Prof. Hackett).

All the people ... - Excited by curiosity, they came together. The fact of the cure and the conduct of the man would soon draw together a crowd, and thus furnish a favorable opportunity for preaching to them the gospel.

In the porch ... - This “porch” was a covered way or passage on the east side of the temple. It was distinguished for its magnificence. See the plan and description of the temple, notes on Matthew 21:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 3:11. Held Peter and John — He felt the strongest affection for them, as the instruments by which the Divine influence was converted to his diseased body.

In the porch that is called Solomon's — On this portico see Bp. Pearce's note, inserted in this work, John 10:23.
