ACTS 14:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,”
He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed — Paul's discernment (theōreō, to observe, perceive) of the man's faith (pistis) parallels Jesus' healings, where belief precedes restoration. The directed gaze (atenizō) indicates apostolic authority and the transmission of confidence.
