By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see. — the healing is explicitly attributed to faith in Jesus' name (pistis epi tō onomati, faith in/upon the name); the name is not a magic word but the expression of Jesus' person and power. The faith (pistis) is both the apostles' faith and the man's responsive faith. The healing is complete (holoklēros, entire, whole, perfect), showing the fullness of salvation.
