Praising Walking
Acts 3

When all the people
This phrase emphasizes the collective witness of the miracle. The Greek word for "people" here is "laos," which often refers to a group united by common beliefs or experiences. In the context of the early church, this highlights the communal nature of the early Christian experience and the public nature of the miracles performed by the apostles. The gathering of "all the people" suggests a significant event that drew attention, underscoring the impact of the miracle on the community.

saw him
The act of seeing is crucial in the narrative. The Greek word "eidon" implies not just a casual glance but a perception and understanding of what is being observed. This seeing is not merely physical but also spiritual, as it leads to recognition of the divine power at work. The people witnessing the miracle are confronted with undeniable evidence of God's intervention, challenging them to reconsider their understanding of Jesus and His followers.

walking
The word "walking" is significant because it denotes a complete and immediate healing. The Greek word "peripateo" means to walk around, indicating that the man was not only able to stand but also to move freely. This is a testament to the totality of the healing power of God. In a broader scriptural context, walking often symbolizes living or conducting one's life. Thus, this miracle signifies a new beginning and a restored life for the healed man.

and praising God
"Praising" comes from the Greek word "aineo," which means to extol or glorify. This response of praise is a natural reaction to the miraculous work of God. It reflects the man's acknowledgment of God's power and mercy. In the biblical narrative, praise is often a response to God's mighty acts, serving as a witness to others of His greatness. The healed man's praise not only affirms his personal faith but also serves as a testimony to the onlookers, inviting them to recognize and glorify God as well.
