And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? Miracles are marvels only in relation to the limited powers of man and the laws by which nature is habitually governed. In relation to the power and will of Him who made nature and its laws what they are-should He change them, either less or more, in order to proclaim to men His immediate presence, and summon their attention to a message from Himself-they are no marvel at all.
As though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? - q.d., 'Neither the might nor the merit of this cure are due to us, who are but the agents of Him we now preach unto you.'
