if we this day are examined concerning. good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;

'ARE EXAMINED CONCERNING. GOOD DEED DONE TO. IMPOTENT MAN'-Notice the touch of sarcasm. Right off the back, God turns the tables and puts the Jewish rulers on the defensive. What could be objectionable about healing. lame man? What kind of law jails people for doing good deeds? 'Surely these honorable judges will not object to the apostles doing. good deed to help. sick man!...This is. tacit condemnation of the unrighteousness of the course the Sanhedrin was following.' (Reese p. 177)

'BY WHAT MEANS THIS MAN IS MADE WHOLE'-Nobody could deny the miracle, for the man was "standing" (Acts 4:14) in the courtroom and was clearly "well". 'as to how this man has been cured'.
