Acts 3:6

Such as I have; the power, namely, to cure him of his lameness.

In the name of Jesus Christ; when the Saviour wrought miracles, the power existed in himself. He performed them in his Father's name only in the sense that the Father had sent him to do them. Joh 5:36; Joh 10:25. But when the power was wholly in Christ, and they obtained the exercise of it through faith in him. Compare verses Ac 3:12,16. All persons may be useful. If they cannot do good in one way, they may in another; and true religion will lead them to do it. They will make efforts for this purpose, and depend upon the power and grace of Christ for success.

Acts 3:16

His name; his power.

Faith--hath given him this perfect soundness; faith was the means, Peter the instrument, and Christ the cause of the cure. Not only the manner in which Christ wrought miracles, but the manner in which the apostles wrought them and spoke of them, was adapted to lead men to view Christ as the author of those miracles, and to unite in honoring him as they honor the Father. Joh 5:23.
