Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
1. We saw before that many signs were showed by the hands of the apostles; now Luke reciteth one of many for example’s sake, after his common custom; namely, that a lame man, which was lame of his feet from his mother’s womb, was perfectly restored to his limbs. And he doth diligently gather all the circumstances which serve to set forth the miracle.
Luke records only those miracles the Holy Ghost deemed fit to serve the purpose of this sacred history, not every wonder the apostles performed. Peter and John were the principal men, and Luke was particular with them because they presided where he belonged; later he does the same with Paul, giving us specimens of what all the apostles did. Friendship bound these two closer than kinship ever could.
