SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:3
Este, cuando vio a Pedro y a Juan que iban a entrar en el Templo, rogaba que le diesen limosna.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple , etc.] Just as they were entering through the gate at which he lay, he looked at them; and though they were strangers to him, he concluded they were Israelites by their going into the temple at that time: asked an alms ; of them; prayed them to give him something for his relief and support.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - The apostles and the first believers attended the temple worship at the hours of prayer. Peter and John seem to have been led by a Divin direction, to work a miracle on a man above forty years old, who ha been a cripple from his birth. Peter, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth bade him rise up and walk. Thus, if we would attempt to good purpos the healing of men's souls, we must go forth in the name and power of Jesus Christ, calling on helpless sinners to arise and walk in the way of holiness, by faith in Him. How sweet the thought to our souls, tha in respect to all the crippled faculties of our fallen nature, the nam of Jesus Christ of Nazareth can make us whole! With what holy joy an rapture shall we tread the holy courts, when God the Spirit causes u to enter therein by his strength!
