The Syriac version renders it, “they knew him to be that beggar that sat daily and asked alms”. As he was daily brought thither, and had, for many years, it is very likely, sat there to ask alms of the people as they went into the temple; he was well known by them, and they had but just now passed him, and observed him in the same condition he had for a long time been, and knew him to be the same.

The word is so used of recognising any one by sight, hearing, or certain signs, to perceive who a person is (Grimm), cf., e.g.<\/em> , Luk 24:16<\/span> ; Luk 24:31<\/span> , Mat 14:35<\/span> , Mar 6:54<\/span> . : imperfect, may refer to the customary action of the man: or may be equivalent here to an imperfect, a force of the imperfect usual in similar cases when reference is made to a time before the actual time of recognition, Blass, Grammatik des N. G.<\/em> , p. 188. : for the local dative cf.<\/em> Act 5:9<\/span> , Mat 24:33<\/span> , Mar 13:29<\/span> , Joh 5:2<\/span> , Rev 9:14<\/span> . , cf.<\/em> Luk 4:36<\/span> ; Luk 5:9<\/span> . A word peculiar to St. Luke in the N.T. (so St. Luke alone uses , Act 3:11<\/span> ); used from Homer downwards, of amazement allied to terror or awe, cf.<\/em> LXX, Eze 7:18<\/span> , Son 3:8<\/span> ; Son 6:3<\/span> (4), 9 (10). : for the word in a similar sense, Mar 5:42<\/span> ; Mar 16:8<\/span> , Luk 5:26<\/span> . Its use in ordinary Greek expresses rather distraction or disturbance of mind caused by a shock. The word is very common both in Hippocrates and Aretaeus. In the LXX it is employed in various senses, cf.<\/em> Deu 28:28<\/span> , ; elsewhere it is used of agitation, trouble, 2Ch 29:8<\/span> , and most frequently of terror, fear, 1Sa 11:7<\/span> , Eze 26:16<\/span> . See further on. Here the word expresses more than simple astonishment as its collocation with shows (Wendt, in loco<\/em> ), rather “bewilderment,” cf.<\/em> Mar 5:42<\/span> . See on Act 2:43<\/span> for this characteristic of St. Luke. But there is no occasion to conclude with Weiss that these strong expressions as to the effect of the miracle show that it must have been the first which the disciples performed.

They knew it was the man who had been seen at the gate of the temple, for he had appeared there daily for a long time, and it was easy to recognize him. The natural effect upon the people was that they were filled with wonder and amazement. They knew it was not their own imagination that was affecting them, nor could it have been a forced action on the part of the lame man, for they were too well acquainted with the nature of his case to allow such a conclusion.<\/p>\n See notes on verse 1<\/p>\n 10. So the multitude all ran to him, filled with astonishment and delight.<\/p>\n The Greek word which is translated delight is ecstasy, a very strong word. Oh, how his old acquaintances are astounded and thrilled! Why, only look yonder at Ben Israel! Did you ever see the like? How he leaps, skips and runs around! The news flies on the wings of the wind: Old Ben Israel is healed that man who has not walked a step in more than forty years.<\/p>\n Oh, you dont say it! I dare you to go and see for yourself. The wonderful tidings fly to all parts of Jerusalem. Thousands of people leap and shout. If Ben is healed, as you say, I am an out-and-out Nazarene.<\/p>\n Nearly all of them had ever and anon dropped a penny in his hat.
