“And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.”
While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astonished, came running to them in the portico called Solomon's Colonnade — the beggar's clinging (krateo, grasp, hold, cling) to Peter and John shows both gratitude and continued relationship. The astonishment (existēmi, utterly astonished, beside themselves) of the crowd and their running (trecho, run) to Solomon's Colonnade (the portico on the east side of the temple, a gathering place) creates a crowd ready to hear explanation.
