Contextual Overview

1 Now, Peter and John, were going up into the temple, for the hour of prayer - the ninth; 2 And, a certain man, who had been, lame from his mother's womb, was being carried, - whom they used to lay daily at the door of the temple - the door called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them who were entering into the temple: 3 Who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, was requesting to receive, an alms. 4 But Peter looking steadfastly at him - with John - said: Look on us! 5 And, he, gave heed unto them, expecting to receive, something from them. 6 But Peter said - Silver and gold, have none, but, what I have, the same, unto thee do give: - In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, Walk! 7 And, laying hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up; and, instantly, were his feet and ankles strengthened; - 8 And, leaping forward, he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him, walking and praising God; 10 And they began to recognise him, that, the same, was he who, for the alms, used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; - and they were filled with amazement and transport at what had happened unto him.

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.
