The Reciprocal Gaze
Acts 3:4
And Peter, fastening his eyes on him with John, said, Look on us.


The gaze was one which read character in the expression of the man's face, and discerned that he had faith to be healed (ver. 16). And he, in his turn, was to look on them that he might read in their pitying looks, not only the wish to heal, but the consciousness of power to carry the wish into effect.

(Dean Plumptre.)
