ACC ~ Acts 3 v16

FAITH FOR HEALING. AMMONIUS: “And the faith which is through him.” This is said because someone is healed through the faith that is directed to Christ. For it is necessary that the faith of both concur, that is, the faith of the one healed and the faith of the one praying over the sick person. This we see in the case of the paralytic and the woman with the flow of blood.CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 3.16.

CERTAINTY OF THE RESURRECTION. CHRYSOSTOM: And yet they did not know it was in his name, but they knew this, that he was lame. Those who had made him stand like a healthy man—they themselves confessed that it was not by their own power but by that of Christ. If this were not so and if they did not truly believe that Christ had risen again, they would not have been willing to establish the honor of a dead man rather than their own, especially while the eyes of the multitude were upon them.
