Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
Then (or 'But') Peter said, Silver and gold have I none. Though all the proceeds of the houses and lands sold by the disciples were 'laid at the apostles' feet,' they touched none of it for themselves, and were personally as poor as before.
But such as I have give I thee - "as poor, yet making many rich; as having noticing, and yet possessing all things" (2 Corinthians 6:10).
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth - `by the virtue that resides in that blessed One whom I invoke,'
Rise up and walk - that the immediateness and thoroughness of this cure might be seen by all. What a lofty superiority breathes in these words! Uttered with supernatural power, they doubtless begat in this poor man the faith which sent healing virtue through his diseased members.
