His clinging signifies gratitude and amazement at his newfound ability to walk. This act of clinging also symbolizes the dependence of new believers on the apostles for spiritual guidance. The healing is a testament to the power of Jesus' name, as Peter had invoked it for the miracle. This event echoes the miracles of Jesus, who often healed the lame, demonstrating the continuity of His work through the apostles.all the people were astonished The crowd's astonishment reflects the miraculous nature of the healing. In a culture where physical ailments were often seen as a result of sin or divine displeasure, such a transformation would have been shocking. The reaction of the people is reminiscent of the amazement often shown by crowds during Jesus' ministry, as seen in passages like <a href="/matthew/9-33.htm">Matthew 9:33</a>. This astonishment sets the stage for Peter's subsequent sermon, where he explains the source of their power and calls the people to repentance.and ran to them The urgency with which the people ran to Peter and John indicates their eagerness to witness the miracle and understand its significance. This eagerness is a common response to divine acts, as seen in other biblical accounts where crowds gather quickly to witness or hear about miraculous events, such as in <a href="/mark/6-33.htm">Mark 6:33</a>. The gathering of the crowd provides Peter with an opportunity to preach the gospel, highlighting the role of miracles in drawing people to hear the message of Christ.in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade Solomon's Colonnade, also known as Solomon's Porch, was a covered area on the eastern side of the Temple Mount.

The location is significant as it connects the ministry of Jesus with the early church, showing continuity in the place of teaching and gathering.

It consisted, in the Herodian Temple, of a double row of Corinthian columns, about thirty-seven feet high, and received its name as having been in part constructed, when the Temple was rebuilt by Zerubbabel, with the fragments of the older edifice. The people tried to persuade Herod Agrippa the First to pull it down and rebuild it, but he shrank from the risk and cost of such an undertaking (Jos. Ant. xx. 9, ? 7). It was, like the porticos in all Greek cities, a favourite place of resort, especially as facing the morning sun in winter. (See Note on <a href="/john/10-23.htm" title="And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.">John 10:23</a>.) The memory of what had then been the result of their Master's teaching must have been fresh in the minds of the two disciples. Then the people had complained of being kept in suspense as to whether Jesus claimed to be the Christ, and, when He spoke of being One with the Father, had taken up stones to stone Him (<a href="/context/john/10-31.htm" title="Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.">John 10:31-33</a>). Now they were to hear His name as Holy and Just, as "the Servant of Jehovah," as the very Christ (<a href="/context/acts/3-13.htm" title="The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.">Acts 3:13-14</a>; <a href="/acts/3-18.htm" title="But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he has so fulfilled.">Acts 3:18</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 11. - He for the lame man which was healed, A.V. and T.R.

Held; by the hand or otherwise; not have to in the spiritual sense. The porch that is called Solomon's. Josephus tells us that King Solomon built up with masonry only the eastern side of the temple enclosure, and that upon the artificial foundation thus formed one στοά, or covered colonnade, was built, the other sides of the temple in Solomon's time being naked and bare of buildings, but that in process of time, and by an enormous expenditure of treasure, the ground was filled up, leveled, and made firm by the masonry of huge walls all round, and then the circuit of buildings was completed. This eastern στοά, or colonnade, was called Solomon's porch (see <a href="/john/10-23.htm">John 10:23</a>).
