Acts 3:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. Walking and leaping, and praising God - These actions are very naturally described. He walked, in obedience to the command of the apostle, rise up and walk: he leaped, to try the strength of his limbs and to be convinced of the reality of the cure: he praised God, as a testimony of the gratitude he felt for the cure he had received. Now was fulfilled, in the most literal manner, the words of the Prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 35:6 : The lame man shall leap as a hart.
