This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
who steadfastly beholding him - as he did Elymas the sorcerer when about to work a miracle on him.
and perceiving that he had faith to be healed - Paul may have been led by the sight of this cripple to dwell on the Savior's miracles of healing, and His present power; and perceiving from the eagerness with which the patient drank in his words, that he was prepared to put his own case into the Redeemer’s hands, the Spirit of the glorified Physician came all upon Paul, and “with a loud voice” he bade him “stand upright upon his feet.” The effect was instantaneous - he sprang to his feet “and walked.”
