"And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering." They were astonished that the disciples could perform miracles similar to those performed by Jesus. Yet here was this man, for 59 forty years a helpless cripple, now rejoicing in the full use of his limbs, free from pain, and happy in believing in Jesus.

"Medens han nu holdt fast på Peter og Johannes, strømmede alle folk rædselsslagne sammen om dem på det sted, som kaldes Salomons søjlegang." De var forundrede over, at disciplene kunne udføre mirakler ligesom dem, Jesus gjorde. Men her var denne mand, som i fyrretyve år havde været en hjælpeløs krøbling, og som nu frydede sig over sine lemmers fulde brug, befriet for smerte og lykkelig i troen på Jesus!
