People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 14:9
The same heard Paul speak. He might have been carried by his friends
to the place of speaking, some open square or thoroughfare, to gratify
his curiosity, or even to ask alms.
He had faith to be healed. Wrought by hearing the word. As faith
is a gospel requisite that we should be healed of our sins, so it was
required as a condition of miraculous healing of bodily diseases. Note
that this miracle, like those of Christ, is a parable of redemption.
There is (1) Hearing of the Word; (2) faith which comes by hearing
(Romans 10:17); (3) the command that calls for an exercise of faith;
(4) the effort to obey in faith; (5) salvation from the infirmity by
obedience. As Christ so often said, so might Paul, "Thy faith hath
saved thee" (Luke 7:50 18:42).
