10. He said with a loud voice. Many old books, and those of great credit, add, “I say to thee in the name of Jesus Christ,” and surely we see how careful the apostles were to magnify the name of Christ in all miracles; therefore I think that that was expressed by Luke, and yet we cannot find it commonly now in the printed books, [copies.] Whereas Luke saith afterward, that the lame man leapt up, it serveth not only for the commendation of God’s power, but also such readiness and willingness to obey did testify that he was rightly prepared by the Lord; so that he did already walk in mind when as his feet were as yet dead. Although his speed in rising made the power of God more manifest, to which end also Paul exalted his voice, that the sudden change might the more move the multitude.

10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
Ver. 10. And he leaped and walked] Together with Paul’s word there went forth a power: so there doth in all holy ordinances; Psa 146:8; "The Lord giveth sight to the blind, he raiseth up the crooked, he loveth the righteous." This cripple might be very well one of those righteous, whom God out of his special love restored to the use of his limbs. A favour that he granteth sometimes to the wicked, whom yet he loveth not.

stand upright on thy feet; in five of Beza's manuscripts, and in other copies, and in the Complutensian edition, and in the Syriac version, this clause is introduced with these words, "I say unto thee, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ"; which is much such a form that Peter used, Act 3:6 whereby the virtue of the miracle is ascribed to Christ, and not assumed by the apostle:

Verse 10. Said with a loud voice] After this clause the following is found in CD, and several others, either in the text or margin: σοι λεγω εν τῳ ονοματι του Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου, I say unto thee, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, "stand upright on thy feet." This reading is also in several versions; and though it may not stand on such evidence as to entitle it to a place in the text, yet it is not likely that St. Paul would not have used the sacred name on such an occasion; especially as this appears to have been the usual form. See Ac 3:6.
He leaped and walked.] Giving the fullest proof of his restoration: his leaping, however, might have been through joy of having received his cure.

10. With a loud voice—As the earnest action of the apostle in discerning the spirit required an intense exertion of the eye, so the performance of the miracle required energetic personal action expressed in the loudness of the voice. So even Jesus (Joh_11:43) in calling forth Lazarus for once used a loud voice. (On which see our note.)
Stand upright—Paul did not, like Peter, use the name of Jesus; because, unlike Peter, he had doubtless already in his preaching fully declared that any miracle he might work was wrought by Jesus’ power.

Stand upright on thy feet] It has been noticed in chap. 3 how different is the narration of this miracle from that wrought by St Peter at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. The two were of exactly the same character, and had the historian been giving his own words only and aiming at producing a harmony in his picture between the words and works of St Paul and St Peter, no finer opportunity could have been found than by making the narratives in these two places as much as possible alike. A careful perusal leaves the impression that the latter may have been written from personal observation (see below on Act_14:22) or from the information of St Paul, but that the former was drawn from an entirely different source, and that the historian has faithfully preserved the distinct character of the two sources from which he derived his information.

And he leaped and walked] The oldest MSS. give these verbs in different tenses. The first is aorist, as expressing one act, the upward spring, which shewed once for all that the cure was wrought; the second is imperfect, and indicates that the act of walking was continued, that he henceforth was able to exercise his new power.

(10) Stand upright on thy feet.—What may be called the modus operandi of the miracle reminds us of that of the paralytic in Mat_9:6, and the cripple at Bethesda in Joh_5:11, and the lame man in Act_3:6. The command, which would have seemed a mockery to one who did not rise beyond the limits of experience, is obeyed by the will that had been inspired by the new power of faith. The natural inference from the special fact recorded in Act_14:11, is that the command was given in Greek, and therefore that St. Paul had taught in that language.
And he leaped and walked.—The two verbs differ in their tense: he leaped, as with a single bound, and then continued walking. (Comp. Note on Act_3:8.)
