SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:10

Y le conocían, que �l era el que se sentaba a pedir la limosna a la puerta del Templo, la Hermosa; y fueron llenos de asombro y de espanto por lo que le había acontecido.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 10. And they knew it was he that sat for alms , etc.] The Syriac version renders it, �they knew him to be that beggar that sat daily and asked alms�. As he was daily brought thither, and had, for many years, it is very likely, sat there to ask alms of the people as they went into the temple; he was well known by them, and they had but just now passed him, and observed him in the same condition he had for a long time been, and knew him to be the same. It was a clear and indisputable point with them. At the beautiful gate of the temple (See Gill on � Acts 3:2�). And they were all filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him ; that he should have a cure so suddenly, and in such an extraordinary manner; they wondered at the power of God, which was seen in it, and that he should make use of such mean and contemptible persons as the apostles were.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-11 - The apostles and the first believers attended the temple worship at the hours of prayer. Peter and John seem to have been led by a Divin direction, to work a miracle on a man above forty years old, who ha been a cripple from his birth. Peter, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth bade him rise up and walk. Thus, if we would attempt to good purpos the healing of men's souls, we must go forth in the name and power of Jesus Christ, calling on helpless sinners to arise and walk in the way of holiness, by faith in Him. How sweet the thought to our souls, tha in respect to all the crippled faculties of our fallen nature, the nam of Jesus Christ of Nazareth can make us whole! With what holy joy an rapture shall we tread the holy courts, when God the Spirit causes u to enter therein by his strength!
