“And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.”
He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God — the exuberance (hallōmai, jump, leap, spring) and walking and leaping together show unrestrained joy and the completeness of healing. The man's movements are now free, coordinated, full of energy. His entry into the temple courts marks access to worship previously denied; his restored mobility grants restored dignity and communal participation.
