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 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 3:5. Expecting to receive something of them. — Because it was a constant custom for all who entered the temple to carry money with them to give to the treasury, or to the poor, or to both. It was on this ground that the friends of the lame man laid him at the gate of the temple, as this was the most likely place to receive alms.
