Acts 3:11 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.'

The contrast here is significant. The man held on to Peter and John, full of faith and confidence. He would not let them go. The crowd ran together greatly wondering. But what would they do? The porch might be called ‘Solomon's'. But would they reveal the wisdom of Solomon in their response? Would they too ‘hold on' to the Apostles? or would they remain ‘lame'.

Acts 3:11

11 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.
