Acts 3:10
French (La Bible expliquée)
Quand ils reconnurent en lui l'homme qui se tenait assis à la Belle Porte du temple pour mendier, ils furent tous remplis de crainte et d'étonnement à cause de ce qui lui était arrivé. Le Saint-Esprit est à l'origine d'une communauté créée pour témoigner du Seigneur ressuscité. Par lui se poursuit ce que Jésus a commencé (1.1). Les chap. 3–4 montrent les enjeux et les risques d'un tel témoignage. La rencontre des regards, une parole, un geste, et l'infirme se met à gambader en louant Dieu. Jésus est bien vivant: son nom invoqué remet un homme debout. D'où viennent alors la crainte et l'étonnement devant cette guérison? La guérison octroyée au nom de Jésus-Christ de Nazareth produit les mêmes effets qu'une manifestation divine.
