“And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.”
Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up. And instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong — the physical touch (krateo, grasp, hold) and lifting up (egeiro, raise up, lift up) are signs of personal care and enabling. Instant strengthening (sthenoo, made strong, firm, powerful) of feet and ankles reverses lifelong lameness; the healing is complete and immediate, not gradual recovery.
