The Healing at the Temple and the history and layout of Herod’s Temple Acts 3:1-11 The Healing at the Temple and the history and layout of Herod’s Temple

The end of Chapter Two indicates that time had passed since Pentecost:

The end of Chapter Two indicates that time had passed since Pentecost: Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart …

Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. The Jews had three hours of prayer:

Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. The Jews had three hours of prayer: 9 AM (the 3rd hour),

Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. The Jews had three hours of prayer: 9 AM (the 3rd hour), 12 Noon (the 6th hour),

Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. The Jews had three hours of prayer: 9 AM (the 3rd hour), 12 Noon (the 6th hour), 3 PM (the 9th hour).

Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. They worshipped at the temple known historically as the second temple or Herod’s Temple.

The first temple was designed by God, revealed to David, and built by Solomon.

Construction began in 967 B.C. Seven years later, Solomon dedicated it to the LORD.

1 Kings 8:63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

This temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC.

Jerusalem was burned to the ground and the Jews were taken into captivity.

The Persian emperor Cyrus the Great conquered the Babylonians and allowed the Jews to resettle their homeland and rebuild their temple. Cyrus of Persia

Ezra at the foundation of the Temple The Persian emperor Cyrus the Great conquered the Babylonians and allowed the Jews to resettle their homeland and rebuild their temple. Ezra at the foundation of the Temple Cyrus of Persia

Ezra at the foundation of the Temple The construction lasted from 536 to 516 BC. Ezra at the foundation of the Temple Cyrus of Persia

Ezra at the foundation of the Temple The story is told in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Ezra at the foundation of the Temple Cyrus of Persia

About 400 years later, King Herod the Great rebuilt the temple down to its foundation stones.

Construction began in 19 BC and finished in 64 AD.

This was the temple of Christ’s day.

The Temple Mount sat atop Mount Zion in the City of David.

The temple had several distinct areas.

Each level ascended to a more restricted area.

This illustration shows the basic layout:

The Court of the Gentiles The Court of the Gentiles was a public marketplace.

The Court of the Gentiles It was here that Jesus “overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves” (Matthew 21:12-13).

The Inner Court A middle wall separated the Court of the Gentiles from the inner court.

The Inner Court Any Gentile who ventured past this wall could be put to death.

The Inner Court Ephesians 2:14: For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

The Gate called Beautiful "The Beautiful Gate" of Herod's temple was the outer one, made of Corinthian brass, surpassing in costliness even nine others of the outer court, which were covered with gold and silver.

The Gate called Beautiful It was so heavy that twenty men were required to close it …” Fausset’s Bible Dictionary

The Court of Women The gate opened into the first tier of the inner sanctuary: the Court of Women.

The Court of Women This is where Jesus saw the widow giving her last two mites to the treasury.

The Court of Israel Men of Israel who were not priests could observe the rites from the Court of Israel.

The Court of Priests The innermost court was the Court of Priests, reserved for the Levites who served in the temple.

The Sanctuary The tallest and most restricted building was the Sanctuary, some 15 stories high.

The Sanctuary Inside was “the holy place” and behind a veil, “the most holy place” (the Holy of Holies) where only the high priest could enter.

The Sanctuary Inside was “the holy place” and behind a veil, “the most holy place” (the Holy of Holies) where only the high priest could enter.

The Sanctuary The furnishings ordained on Mount Sinai were long gone. A stone was placed where the Ark of the Covenant once stood.

The Sanctuary Jesus never stepped foot inside this place.

The Sanctuary Hebrews 9:24: For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Solomon’s Porch Solomon’s Porch was a beautiful column-lined walkway located on the east side of the temple area.

Solomon’s Porch According to Josephus, this portion of the temple remained from Solomon's time.

“It rose from a great depth, occupying part of the valley, and supported by a wall 400 cubits high, formed of immense stones, some 20 cubits long. The Chaldaeans spared it, perhaps for its strength and beauty.” Fausett’s Bible Dictionary Solomon’s Porch

“It rose from a great depth, occupying part of the valley, and supported by a wall 400 cubits high, formed of immense stones, some 20 cubits long. The Chaldaeans spared it, perhaps for its strength and beauty.” Fausett’s Bible Dictionary Solomon’s Porch

John 10:22-23 22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

Herod’s temple was more than twice the size of the one built by Solomon.

(Considering that GOD designed the first temple, and Herod designed the second, this is quite a statement on that man’s ego.)

Herod’s Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD, just six years after it was completed.

The Western Wall All that remains of it today are the stones in the lowest section of the western wall.

The Western Wall is also known as the Wailing Wall .

Back to Acts 3:

Back to Acts 3: 1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. 11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

Here begins Peter’s second recorded sermon:
