What happened when Peter took the lame man by the right hand?
The lame man's feet and ankle bones immediately received strength. He leaped up, stood, walked, and entered the temple with them. This pure, divine miracle occurred in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, as Peter lifted him up by the right hand.
Les explains that Peter, with John, fastened his eyes on the lame man and 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." Peter did not mention the power of Christ's resurrection or His death; he merely referred to who Jesus was—the Messiah, Israel's promised King and Savior. Then Peter took him by the right hand and lifted him up. Immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. The man leaped up, stood, walked, and entered the temple with them. Les emphasizes this was a miracle, pure and divine, and notes the man was a Jew, not a Gentile.
