- Acts 3:1 Peter’s action, as he takes the initiative in the first miracle that Acts ascribes to the disciples of the wonderworker of Nazareth, has special significance: it is done “in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth” and aims to show the presence of Christ and his divine activity.
- Acts 3:1 Three o’clock in the afternoon: literally, “the ninth hour.” See notes on Mt 27:35 and Mk 15:25.
