Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 4:22

"For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought." — Acts 4:22 (ASV)

The man was above forty years old.—This precision in noting the duration of disease or infirmity is again characteristic of the writer. Compare the case of the woman with an issue of blood (Luke 8:43); of Æneas (Acts 9:33); of the cripple at Lystra (Acts 14:8).
