<p>3:6 <i>But Peter said: Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk</i><i>-</i> Peter later alludes to this in a way that means he saw that man as typical of all his converts: &quot;Knowing you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life&quot; (1 Pet. 1:18). Life before conversion for us all was as vain as the man sitting there lamely begging for silver and gold, in a temple structure unable to save him. See on 3:7.</p><p>Peter told the lame man: &ldquo;In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk&quot;; but the healing was because of <em>Peter's</em> faith in Christ's Name (Acts 3:6,16). The Jerusalem Bible makes this apparent: &quot;It is the name of Jesus which, through our faith in it, has brought back the strength of this man&quot;. The RV has: &quot;By faith in his name hath his name made this man strong&quot;- as if the power of the name of Jesus is waiting to be activated by human faith.</p>
