Church Fathers on Acts 3:7

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up. Acts 3:7 Such was also the way of Christ. Often He healed by word, often by an act, often also He stretched forth the hand, where men were somewhat weak in faith, that the cure might not appear to be spontaneous. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up. This act made manifest the Resurrection, for it was an image of the Resurrection.
