In biblical times, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and authority of a person. Faith in Jesus' name implies trust in His divine power and identity as the Messiah. This reflects the early church's understanding of Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>, which speaks of the suffering servant who brings healing and redemption.this man whom you see and know has been made strong The man referred to is the lame beggar healed at the temple gate called Beautiful (<a href="/acts/3-2.htm">Acts 3:2</a>). His healing was a public event, witnessed by many who frequented the temple, thus providing undeniable evidence of the miracle. This act of healing serves as a sign of the in-breaking of God's kingdom through the apostles' ministry, echoing Jesus' own healing miracles and fulfilling His promise that His followers would do greater works (<a href="/john/14-12.htm">John 14:12</a>).It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him This phrase underscores that the source of the healing is not the apostles themselves but Jesus. The faith that comes through Him suggests that even the ability to believe is a gift from God, aligning with <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>, which teaches that faith is a gift of grace. This highlights the early church's reliance on divine empowerment rather than human ability.that has given him this complete healing in your presence The term "complete healing" indicates not just physical restoration but also a holistic renewal, reflecting the biblical concept of shalom, or peace, which encompasses well-being in all aspects of life. The public nature of the healing serves as a testimony to the power of Jesus and the truth of the apostles' message, reinforcing the credibility of their witness and the transformative impact of the gospel. This event also prefigures the ultimate restoration promised in the new creation (<a href="/revelation/21-4.htm">Revelation 21:4</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/peter_and_john.htm">Peter and John</a> Apostles of Jesus Christ who were instrumental in the early church and performed the miracle of healing the lame man at the temple gate called Beautiful. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_lame_man.htm">The Lame Man</a> A man who was lame from birth and was healed by Peter and John through faith in Jesus' name. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_temple_gate_called_beautiful.htm">The Temple Gate Called Beautiful</a> The location where the miracle took place, a significant place of worship and gathering for the Jewish people. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_onlookers.htm">The Onlookers</a> The crowd that witnessed the miracle and were amazed at the power of Jesus' name. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_name_of_jesus.htm">The Name of Jesus</a> Central to the miracle, representing the authority and power of Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_jesus'_name.htm">The Power of Jesus' Name</a> The name of Jesus is not just a label but carries divine authority and power.

The Name did not work as a formula of incantation; it required, on the part both of the worker and the receiver, faith in that which the Name represented, the manifestation of the Father through the Son.Hath made this man strong.--The verb is the same as that which had been used in <a href="/acts/3-7.htm" title="And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.">Acts 3:7</a> of the "feet and ankle-bones." It was Jesus who had given them that new firmness.The faith which is by him.--The causation of the miracle is carried yet another step backward. The faith which was alike in the healer and in the man healed was itself wrought in each by the power of Christ. The man was first a willing recipient of that faith spiritually, and then was in a state that made him worthy to be a recipient also of the bodily restoration.This perfect soundness.--Literally, this completeness. This is the only passage in the New Testament in which the word occurs. The cognate adjective is found in the "whole" of <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-23.htm" title="And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.">1Thessalonians 5:23</a>; the "complete" of <a href="/james/1-4.htm" title="But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.">James 1:4</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 16. - By faith in his Name hath this for his Name through faith in his Name, A.V.: the order of the words is changed from that of the A.V., to bring it into accordance with the order of the Greek, but with a great loss of force in English; behold for see, A.V.; through for by, A.V. Yea, the faith; rather, and the faith. The two propositions are not the same. The first affirms that it is the Name of Jesus which has given him strength, objectively; the second that the faith (subjective) which is through or by him hath given him perfect soundness. There is some obscurity in the exact meaning of ἡ πίστις ἡ δι αὐτοῦ. Some (see Alford, 1:1) compare <a href="/1_peter/1-21.htm">1 Peter 1:21</a>, and make God the object of the faith of his witnesses, Peter and John. Others (Meyer) understand that the faith in the Name of Christ was wrought in Peter and John by or through Christ's ministry and resurrection. But it is much more consonant with other passages (<a href="/acts/14-9.htm">Acts 14:9</a>; <a href="/acts/16-31.htm">Acts 16:31</a>, etc.; <a href="/matthew/15-28.htm">Matthew 15:28</a>, etc.) to understand the faith to be that of the man who was healed; and then the phrase, "which is through him," will denote naturally that it was through Jesus Christ that the man's faith brought him into contact, so to speak, with God who healed him. In the same spirit we read that the lame man "praised God" (vers. 8, 9) for the cure effected through the Name of Jesus Christ; and Peter says (ver. 15), "Whom God raised from the dead." The interpretation of the phrase ἡ δι αὐτοῦ depends upon whether we supply an active or a passive word. The faith which acts, or works, or moves through him is one way of understanding it; the faith which is wrought or produced through him is the other. The first is preferable. This perfect soundness; pointing to what they saw with their own eyes while the man was leaping and dancing before them (ὁλοκληρία, perfect soundness, used only here in the New Testament; it is a medical term). <a href="/commentaries/acts/3-16.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>By ἐπὶ (epi) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1909.htm">Strong's 1909: </a> On, to, against, on the basis of, at. faith πίστει (pistei) Noun - Dative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_4102.htm">Strong's 4102: </a> Faith, belief, trust, confidence; fidelity, faithfulness. in τοῦ (tou) Article - Genitive Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
