1. Many feel Jesus healed everyone around Him, yet, Jesus had entered the temple many times. Do you think the crippled man had been there when Jesus entered? Yes, the crippled man had been there. Verse 2 says "he was put every day to beg..." According to my map in my bible it shows only one gate in and out of the outer courts of the temple...the gate Beautiful where the crippled man sat and begged.
2. If so, why wouldn't Jesus have healed him? He probably didn't ask Him! I'm sure if the crippled man had asked Jesus for healing or money Jesus would have either healed him or spoke with him.
3. How do you feel Peter knew to tell this person to walk? Because Jesus told him in Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you..." He also said to the crippled man to walk in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Acts 3:6).
4. Who does Peter say healed the crippled man? Oops...I mentioned it in #3. Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Acts 3:6).
5. Is there anything else from these verses you would like to share? The crippled man became a witness to other's in the temple of God's work on him. I love how in verse 10 it says "and they were filled with wonder and amazement..." How I wish I could be that sort of witness to everyone I meet....to fill them with wonder and amazement at God's works through me!
