Commentary

Matthew Henry on Acts 3:1-11

We were told in general (Act 2:43) that many signs and wonders were done by the apostles, which are not written in this book; but here we have one given us for an instance. As they wrought miracles, not upon every body as every body had occasion for them, but as the Holy Spirit gave direction, so as to answer the end of their commission; so all the miracles they did work are not written in this book, but such only are recorded as the Holy Ghost thought fit, to answer the end of this sacred history. I. The persons by whose ministry this miracle was wrought were Peter and John, two principal men among the apostles; they were so in Christ's time, one speaker of the house for the most part, the…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Acts 3:6

Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee--What a lofty superiority breathes in these words! In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk--These words, uttered with supernatural power, doubtless begat in this poor man the faith that sent healing virtue through his diseased members.

Adam Clarke on Acts 3:6

Silver and gold have I none - Though it was customary for all those who entered the temple to carry some money with them, for the purposes mentioned above, yet so poor were the apostles that their had nothing to give, either to the sacred treasury, or to the distressed. The popish writers are very dexterous at forming analogies between St. Peter and the pope; but it is worthy of note that they have not attempted any here. Even the judicious and generally liberal Calmet passes by this important saying of the person whom he believed to have been the first pope. Thomas Aquinas, surnamed the angelical doctor, who was highly esteemed by Pope Innocent IV., going one day into the pope's chamber, wh…

John Gill on Acts 3:6

Then Peter said, silver and gold have I none,.... The Ethiopic version reads, "we have none"; and so it reads the next clause in the first person plural; that is, they had no money either of gold or silver coin; they had none about them, nor any of their own perhaps any where; none but what was brought to them, and put into their hands as a common stock for the whole church, or the poor of it: nor indeed might any money be carried in a purse into the temple; See Gill on Matthew 10:9, Mark 11:16 though doubtless they might carry it in their hands, or otherwise, for the offerings, or for the poor, or this man would not have lain here for alms. But such as I have, give I thee; meaning the gift…

The Church Fathers

You see the riches of the priests of Christ, you see, having nothing, how great and what kind of things they bestow. Such wealth an earthly possession cannot bestow.
— Origen of Alexandria, HOMILIES ON GENESIS 16.5

But hitherto they always call Him, "of Nazareth." "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth," said Peter, walk. For in the first instance, the thing required was, that He should be believed in.
— John Chrysostom, Homily on Acts 8

This demonstrates their complete lack of gold. For Peter does not say, as we often say, "I do not have it in this place or at this time," but rather, "I have neither," indicating that he possesses no gold at all.
