Acts 3:4

And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

Look upon us. St. Peter said this to raise his attention and expectation, but the poor man thought of nothing but an alms. (Witham)

John Chrysostom

AD 407
What then does Peter do? He did not despise him; he did not look about for some rich subject; he did not say, If the miracle is not done to some great one (εἰς ἐκεἵνον), nothing great is done: he did not look for some honor from him, no, nor heal him in the presence of people; for the man was at the entrance, not where the multitude were, that is, within. But Peter sought no such object; nor upon entering did he proclaim the matter: no, it was by his bearing that he attracted the lame man to ask. And the wonder is, that he believed so readily.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
