We were told many signs and wonders were done through the apostles in Acts 2:43; and this chapter records one of the many. The lame man simply wanted help in the condition that he was in but God had a different plan. The man’s expectation didn’t come to pass, Peter didn’t have any money, but he did have authority from Jesus to heal him. At this moment, Peter received and exercised the gift of faith and healing described in 1 Corinthians 12.
