Context of Acts 3:6
4Peter looked carefully at the man and so did John. Peter said to him, ‘Look at us!’ 5So the man looked at Peter and John. He thought that they would give him some money. Then Peter said to the man, ‘I do not have any money. But I do have something else that I will give to you. Jesus Christ from Nazareth gave me authority to do this. So now I tell you to walk!’ 7Peter held the man's right hand and he helped him to stand up. Immediately the man's feet and ankles became strong. 8The man jumped up and he stood on his feet. Then he began to walk about. He went into the temple with Peter and John. He was walking and jumping and he was praising God.
