Contextual Overview
1 One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then, 2 some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they went in. 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. 8 Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 All the people saw him walking and praising God; 10 and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.

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.
