Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God. Acts 3:16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.

As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” Isaiah 35:6 Then the lame will leap like a deer and the mute tongue will shout for joy. For waters will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. / But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Psalm 103:2-3 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds— / He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases, Exodus 15:26 saying, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians.

If we are being examined today This phrase sets the scene for a formal inquiry or trial. The Greek word for "examined" is "ἀνακρινόμεθα" (anakrinometha), which implies a thorough investigation or questioning. In the historical context, Peter and John are standing before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council, which was known for its rigorous legal procedures. This examination reflects the early church's challenges and the apostles' boldness in the face of persecution. It serves as a reminder of the courage required to stand firm in one's faith, even when scrutinized by authorities. about a kind service to a man who was lame and are asked how he was healed Of the good deed.--Strictly, the act of beneficence. There is a manifest emphasis on the word as contrasted with the contemptuous "this thing" of the question. It meets us again in 1Timothy 6:2. . . . Verse 9. - Are for be, A.V.; concerning a (good deed) for of the, A.V.; an (impotent) for the, A.V.; this man for he, A.V. We; eraphatic, probably in response to the emphatic "you" at the end of ver. 7. An impotent man. The following οῦτος, this man, makes it necessary to supply the definite article, as the A.V. has done. St. Peter alludes to the good deed, i.e. the benefit done to the lame man, being the subject of a criminal inquiry, as a tacit condemnation of the unrighteousness of such a course.Parallel Commentaries ...
