5. Acts 3-4
President Harold B. Lee: “Now in my mind’s eye I can picture this man, what was in his mind: “Doesn’t this man know that I have never walked? He commands me to walk.” But the biblical record doesn’t end there. Peter just didn’t content himself by commanding the man to walk, but he “took him by the right hand, and lifted him up” (Acts 3:7)…

6. Acts 3-4
“Will you see that picture now of that noble soul, that chiefest of the Apostles, perhaps with his arms around the shoulders of this man, … saying, “Now, my good man, have courage; I will take a few steps with you.

The Jews are just baffled by this miracle. Lets say you break up with someone you like. Do you want to see them ever again? Hard to hear music? See friends? Smell someone wearing same lotion/cologne? Flirting with someone else? If there was a group of people that killed your best friend, would you want to be around them? Peter tells the Jews how it is.
