A Lame Man Healed (3:1–10)
This section gives one detailed account as an example of Luke's earlier note that "the 'apostolic band' has the power to work miracles"(Acts 2:43).[3]
Verse 2
- And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple.[4]
The temple in Jerusalem had several gates, but it is not clear which one might have been called Beautiful. No ancient source mentions the Beautiful Gate, but the Nicanor Gate is probably the best guess. Traditionally the gate is identified with the Shushan Gate but, according to C. K. Barrett, that gate was not a suitable location for a beggar.[5]
Verse 6
- Then Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk".[6]
The healing of the lame man in this chapter becomes the inspiration of some songs. One of the famous ones is the children's song: "Silver and Gold Have I None".[7]
No Other Name (3:11–26)
These verses record Peter's second speech (after Acts 2), which addresses the same two questions as his first: 'What does this mean?' (cf. 2:12) and 'What shall we do?' (cf. 2:37).[3]
Verse 17
- "Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers."[8]
