Acts 14:8
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
And there sat a certain man at Lystra,.... Where the apostle was preaching; and perhaps he sat there to beg, where there was a great concourse of people, and which might be in the open street: this man was
impotent in his feet; so weak, as not to be able to walk, and even to stand on them, and therefore is said to sit:
being a cripple from his mother's womb; he was born lame, as was the man cured by Peter, Acts 3:2
who never had walked; these circumstances are mentioned, to show that his case was incurable by any human art, and to illustrate the following miracle.
