Contextual Overview

1 And it occurred, as Simon Cephas and John went together up to the temple, at the time of prayer, being the ninth hour, 2 that, lo, those accustomed to bring a man lame from his mother's womb, brought him and laid him at the gate of the temple called Beautiful; that he might ask alms of those going into the temple. 3 This man, when he saw Simon and John going into the temple, asked them to give him alms. 4 And Simon and John looked on him, and said to him: Look on us. 5 And he looked on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Simon said to him: Gold and silver, I have not; but what I have, I give to thee; in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, the Nazarean, rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and forthwith, his feet and his heels recovered strength. 8 And he sprang, stood up, and walked: and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him, as he walked and praised God. 10 And they knew that he was the beggar, who sat daily and asked alms, at the gate called Beautiful: and they were filled with wonder and admiration at what had occurred.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he gave heed unto them,.... Or "he looked at them", as the Syriac version renders it, as they bid him: he was not only attentive to them in his mind, but he directed his eyes towards them, and looked wistly at them. This clause is left out in the Ethiopic version.

Expecting to receive something of them; not a cure for his lameness, which he little thought of, but some money, as an alms.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 3:5. Expecting to receive something of them. — Because it was a constant custom for all who entered the temple to carry money with them to give to the treasury, or to the poor, or to both. It was on this ground that the friends of the lame man laid him at the gate of the temple, as this was the most likely place to receive alms.
