Context of Acts 3:1
Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer. 2And a man who had been unable to walk from birth was being carried, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order for him to beg for charitable gifts from those entering the temple grounds. 3When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple grounds, he began asking to receive a charitable gift.

Commentaries on Acts 3:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Peter and John went up together - The words , which we translate together, and which are the first words in this chapter in the Greek text, we have already seen, Acts 2:47, are added by several MSS. and versions to the last verse of the preceding chapter. But they do not make so good a sense there as they do here; and should be translated, not together, which really makes no sense here, but at that time; intimating that this transaction occurred nearly…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1Peter and John went up - In Luke 24:53, it is said that the apostles were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. From Acts 2:46, it is clear that all the disciples were accustomed daily to resort to the temple for devotion. Whether they joined in the sacrifices of the temple-service is not said; but the thing is not improbable. This was the place and the manner in which they and their fathers had worshipped. They came slowly to the…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1A lame man healed by Peter and John. (1-11) Peter's address to the Jews. (12-26) Verses 1-11 The apostles and the first believers attended the temple worship at the hours of prayer.

Peter, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, bade him rise up and walk. Thus, if we would attempt to good purpose the healing of…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-11Jesus promised that his disciples would do greater works than he did (John 14:12; see Mark 16:20). This promise came true through the signs, wonders, and mighty works of the apostles (Acts 2:43; 5:12; 8:4–8). The apostle Peter showed the power to heal in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (3:6, 16). The healing was immediate and evident (3:8). It led the man to praise God (3:8–9; compare 2:47; 16:25; Luke 2:20; 17:15–18; 18:43; 19:37; 24:53). This event…Read the comment
