Acts 3:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. Look on us - He wished to excite and engage his attention that he might see what was done to produce his miraculous cure, and, it is likely, took this occasion to direct his faith to Jesus Christ. See note on Acts 3:16 (note). Peter and John probably felt themselves suddenly drawn by the Holy Spirit to pronounce the healing name in behalf of this poor man.
