By faith in the name of Jesus The phrase "By faith in the name of Jesus" underscores the centrality of faith in the Christian experience. The Greek word for faith, "pistis," implies a deep trust and reliance, not merely intellectual assent. In the historical context of Acts, the name of Jesus was not just a label but represented His authority and power. The early church understood that invoking Jesus' name was invoking His very presence and power, a concept rooted in Jewish tradition where a name encapsulated the essence of a person. this man whom you see and know has been made strong It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence Hath made this man strong.--The verb is the same as that which had been used in Acts 3:7 of the "feet and ankle-bones." It was Jesus who had given them that new firmness. The faith which is by him.--The causation of the miracle is carried yet another step backward. The faith which was alike in the healer and in the man healed was itself wrought in each by the power of Christ. The man was first a willing recipient of that faith spiritually, and then was in a state that made him worthy to be a recipient also of the bodily restoration. This perfect soundness.--Literally, this completeness. This is the only passage in the New Testament in which the word occurs. The cognate adjective is found in the "whole" of 1Thessalonians 5:23; the "complete" of James 1:4. Verse 16. - By faith in his Name hath this for his Name through faith in his Name, A.V.: the order of the words is changed from that of the A.V., to bring it into accordance with the order of the Greek, but with a great loss of force in English; behold for see, A.V.; through for by, A.V. Yea, the faith; rather, and the faith. The two propositions are not the same. The first affirms that it is the Name of Jesus which has given him strength, objectively; the second that the faith (subjective) which is through or by him hath given him perfect soundness. There is some obscurity in the exact meaning of ἡ πίστις ἡ δι αὐτοῦ. Some (see Alford, 1:1) compare 1 Peter 1:21, and make God the object of the faith of his witnesses, Peter and John. Others (Meyer) understand that the faith in the Name of Christ was wrought in Peter and John by or through Christ's ministry and resurrection. But it is much more consonant with other passages (Acts 14:9; Acts 16:31, etc.; Matthew 15:28, etc.) to understand the faith to be that of the man who was healed; and then the phrase, "which is through him," will denote naturally that it was through Jesus Christ that the man's faith brought him into contact, so to speak, with God who healed him. In the same spirit we read that the lame man "praised God" (vers. 8, 9) for the cure effected through the Name of Jesus Christ; and Peter says (ver. 15), "Whom God raised from the dead." The interpretation of the phrase ἡ δι αὐτοῦ depends upon whether we supply an active or a passive word. The faith which acts, or works, or moves through him is one way of understanding it; the faith which is wrought or produced through him is the other. The first is preferable.
