SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:9
Pues si somos hoy demandados acerca del beneficio hecho a un hombre enfermo, de qu manera ste haya sido sanado,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 4:9
Verse 9. The good deed done] epi euergesia, The benefit he has received in being restored to perfect soundness.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. If we this day be examined of the good deed , etc.] Or seeing we are; for it was not a matter of doubt, but a clear case, that they were brought into court, and were passing under an examination, about the cure of the lame man; which the apostle rightly calls a good deed , it being done in faith, and to the glory of God, and for the good of the man; and hereby tacitly suggests, that they were dealt very hardly with, to be seized and kept in custody, and be called in question, for doing an action so beneficent and kind, as this was, which was done to the impotent man ; who could not help himself, nor get his bread any other way, than by begging: by what means he is made whole ; restored to perfect health, and the proper use of his limbs; that is, by what power, and in what name this was done; the answer is ready, and it is as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-14 - Peter being filled with the Holy Ghost, would have all to understand that the miracle had been wrought by the name, or power, of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, whom they had crucified; and this confirme their testimony to his resurrection from the dead, which proved him to be the Messiah. These rulers must either be saved by that Jesus who they had crucified, or they must perish for ever. The name of Jesus is given to men of every age and nation, as that whereby alone believer are saved from the wrath to come. But when covetousness, pride, or an corrupt passion, rules within, men shut their eyes, and close their hearts, in enmity against the light; considering all as ignorant an unlearned, who desire to know nothing in comparison with Chris crucified. And the followers of Christ should act so that all wh converse with them, may take knowledge that they have been with Jesus That makes them holy, heavenly, spiritual, and cheerful, and raise them above this world.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
4:9 {Concerning a good deed done to an impotent man} (epi euergesiai anqrwpou asqenous). Objective genitive. Note euergesia (old word, in the N.T. only here and #1Ti 6:2), as a benefactor, not a malefactor. Skilful turn made by Peter. {Is made whole} (seswstai). Perfect passive indicative of swzw, stands whole.
