ISAIAH 35:6 ~ THEN THE LAME WILL LEAP LIKE A DEER

 STRANGEST THINGS IN THE BIBLE

JERUSALEM

Peter and John were prayer warriors going to the Temple, for the 3pm time of sacrifice.

"Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour." 

A lame man being carried was put by the Gate Beautiful, known as the Eastern Gate; so that he could ask for alms.

"And a certain man being lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they were putting daily at the gate of the temple being called “Beautiful”, that he might be asking-for alms from the ones coming into the temple— who, having seen Peter and John being about to go into the temple, was asking to receive alms."

Peter and John looked at the lame man.  He expected to receive some money.

"And Peter, along with John, having looked-intently at him, said, “Look at us!  And the one was fixing-his-attention-on them, expecting to receive something from them. 

And Peter said, “There is no silver and gold with me. But what I have, this I give to you— in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, arise and walk”. 

Instead of Peter giving a hand out; he gave a reaching hand.

"And having seized him by the right hand, he raised him. And at once his feet and ankles were made-strong."

Luke a physician who wrote the book of ACTS, mentioned the details of the feet and ankles being healed.

"And leaping-up, he stood and was walking-around. And he entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God."

And all the people saw him walking and praising God."
