Acts 3:12 NIV

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Acts 3:12

Peter seeing, made answer to the people. This is the second sermon, that is related, which, as St. John Chrysostom, observes, was spoken publicly in the temple. --- Why look you upon us? St. Peter, at the beginning take care to give the glory to God. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:12-18

12-18 Observe the difference in the manner of working the miracles. Our Lord always spoke as having Almighty power, never hesitated to receive the greatest honour that was given to him on account of his Divine miracles. But the apostles referred all to their Lord, and refused to receive any honour, except as his undeserving instruments. This shows that Jesus was one with the Father, and co-equal with Him; while the apostles knew that they were weak, sinful men, and dependent for every thing on... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 3:1-99

Acts 3 THE ACTS is an historical book, but it is not mere history. An immense amount of apostolic service is left unrecorded, and mention is made of just a few incidents which serve to show the way the Spirit of God operated in bearing witness to the risen and exalted Jesus, and in conducting the disciples into the fulness of Christian blessing. The book covers a period of transition from the beginning of the church at Jerusalem to the full ingathering from among the Gentiles. This chapter... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 3:12-15

The Address of Peter in the Temple. An emphatic application of the Law: v. 12. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this, or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? v. 13. The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified His Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. v. 14.... read more

Acts ‘THEN SHALL THE LAME MAN LEAP AS AN HART’ Act_3:1 - Act_3:16 . ‘Many wonders and signs were done by the Apostles’ Act_2:43, but this one is recorded in detail, both because it was conspicuous as wrought in the Temple, and because it led to weighty consequences. The narrative is so vivid and full of minute particulars that it suggests an eye-witness. Was Peter Luke’s informant? The style of the story is so like that of Mark’s Gospel that we might reasonably presume so. The scene and the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 3:11-26

Searching Words Acts 3:11-26 Peter’s sermon was delivered in the eastern colonnade of the Temple. It derived its name probably from the fact that Solomon’s Porch had originally occupied that site. The Apostle argued that the gospel which was given them to proclaim was only the flower of the revelations which had been given them through the prophets. How vast the change wrought in this man by the strength and illumination imparted to him at Pentecost! Why should we not seek to be similarly... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 3:1-26

The men at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple is the illustration of a constant fact: approximation to God is a habit of humanity in its need. Mendicants are not often found at the doors where an infidel lecture has been delivered. In speaking to the man, Peter revealed the essential meaning of Christianity. He was not able to minister to the man in material things so far as silver and gold were concerned. He was, however, able to communicate to him something which would make him master of his... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:1-26

The Ministry of the Apostles (3:1-6:7). The pouring out of the Holy Spirit having taken place, and the infant church having been shown to be established, Luke now goes on to deal with the way in which the infant church rapidly expanded, firstly through the ministry of the Apostles (Acts 3:1 to Acts 6:7), and then more widely through the ministry of some of their appointees (Acts 6:8 to Acts 9:31). God is revealed as at work in sovereign power, and His Apostles are having to keep up. But it is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:12

‘And when Peter saw it, he answered, saying to the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? or why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk?” ’ Peter immediately turns the people’s gaze away from himself. ‘You men of Israel.’ The call is to all Israel to face up to Jesus. They had seen Him walking among them constantly doing such miracles. Why then were they marvelling? Rather they should be saying, ‘Jesus is still among... read more
