Acts 3:9
When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
BSB
ASV
And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
KJV
And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
And all the people,.... That were in the temple, saw him walking; who before lay on a couch, or on the ground, and was so lame, that he was obliged to be carried; and praising God; for this miraculous cure. The Arabic version renders it, "saw him walking to praise God": that is, entering into the temple with the apostles, in order to offer up the sacrifice of praise to God there.
And all the people ... - The people who had been accustomed to see him sit in a public place. And they knew ... - In this they could not be deceived; they had seen him a long time, and now they saw the same man expressing his praise to God for complete recovery. The particulars in this miracle are the following, and they are as far as possible from any appearance of imposture: 1. The man had been afficated from a child. This was known to all the people.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
