Commentary
Commentary on Acts 14:10
Theological / DevotionalA loud voice. Paul raised his tone above that in which he had been speaking to the people.
Stand upright. This command would have been a mockery to anyone who was not prepared by faith to go beyond the limits of ordinary human experience. The cripple willed to act in response to faith. This is one of a pattern of miracles to which belong the healing of the paralytic (Matt. 9:6, 7); the cripple at Bethesda (John 5:11, 14); and the lame man at the gate (Acts 3:6-8). In each of these instances spiritual restitution accompanied physical healing.
The parallel between the healing of the lame man by Peter at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple (ch. 3:1-11) and the healing of the cripple at Lystra by Paul is evident.
Leaped and walked. Or, “leaped up and began walking.” (See on ch. 3:8.)
