EXPLANATION

Verse 24. Give glory to God, before whom thou art speaking, and tell us the truth. It could not be this man who cured thee; for we know he is a sinner, who seduceth the people. V.—So say our separated brethren, when they derogate from miracles done by saints, pharisaically pretending the glory of God, as if it were not God’s glory when his servants act by his power and virtue. Witness Peter’s shadow, (Acts 5) and Paul’s handkerchiefs that cured diseases, and expelled wicked spirits. Acts 19:11, 12.
