✦ MADE SIMPLE

When Peter saw how amazed everyone was, he spoke up: 'People of Israel, why are you so shocked by this? And why are you staring at us like we're the ones who made this man walk? This wasn't our power or because we're somehow super holy.'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Peter's like 'don't look at us — we didn't do this miracle, God did.'
