Acts 3:10
10they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
10they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
Being so near to the favorite entrance to the temple, many saw the man the recognized. Again, the miraculous was used to draw attention to the sermon to follow.

7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.
7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.
1. The man had to have some faith to even take Peter's hand.
2. No religious ceremony - no laying on of hands or elaborate prayer.

Acts 3:6
6Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”
6Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”
FROM COMMENTARY: The apostles indicated immediately that they did not represent themselves in what they were about to do. They represented Jesus Christ. Because of His name—who He is—the beggar would receive the miracle of God. The phrase “in the name of Jesus” is not a magical formula used to give some affirmation or guarantee to a prayer. A person's name represented that person's authority and influence. The power in the name of Jesus comes from what the Holy Spirit will do because of that name. Note that Peter and John did not lay their hands on the beggar and pray for God to heal him. Rather, as apostles with the power of God to perform signs and wonders, they simply told him to rise up and walk.

Acts 3:2
2Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.
2Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.
FROM COMMENTARY: The lame man was laid near the gate called Beautiful. This gate opened into the Court of the Women from the outer Court of the Gentiles. It served, in a sense, as the front door to the temple proper. The Beautiful Gate would have been an ideal place for the man to position himself for begging. Those who ignored the man's pleas may have found it difficult to worship due to the guilt they felt for refusing to help such a powerless person. Moreover, as people left the temple they would be more apt to give to someone who was waiting there for help.

Peter Heals the Crippled Beggar
1One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer–at three in the afternoon. The apostles are still following many of their old Jewish customs - prayer and visiting the temple.

What do you think "cut them."
Have you experienced this in your life?

40With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”
Is our generation corrupt? Are all generations essentially corrupt in comparison with God?

The basis for our belief in the path to salvation. Notice the importance placed on baptism. What part does baptism play?

Peter quoted the Psalms to prove that David was not the messiah but his heir must be. Jesus did not decay, gave the spirit and is at God's right hand.

Peter focuses a great deal on the resurrection. Why?
