“And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:”
In Lystra there sat a man who was lame from birth and had never walked — the healing narrative introduces a new dimension: signs performed not in synagogues but in pagan contexts, before people unfamiliar with Christian theology. The man's lameness from birth mirrors the beggar at the Temple Gate (3:2), suggesting healing of the chronically afflicted becomes a signature apostolic work.
