If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
If you're questioning us today about this good thing we did for the guy who couldn't walk, asking how he got healed ,
They're literally getting interrogated for helping someone walk again.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, following Jesus' resurrection, the apostles Peter and John were preaching and performing miracles in Jerusalem to spread the early Christian message. They had just healed a man who had been lame from birth at the temple gate, which drew a large crowd and provoked the jealousy of the Jewish religious leaders. As a result, Peter and John were arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin, where Peter is now defending their actions in this verse by emphasizing the good deed of healing.
