Raising Up

Et apprehensa manu ejus dextera allevavit eum. Quem vero erigit, hunc etiam dextera confortat. Quia sermo docentis in corde auditorum minus valet, si non etiam propriae actionis commendatur exemplis. Et exsiliens stetit, et ambulabat. Et intravit cum illis in templum. Ordo perfectionis egregius, primum illum surgere qui jacuerat, deinde arripere virtutem, et sic regni januam cum apostolis intrare. Sanctus Beda,Super acta Apostolorum Expositio, Caput III Source: Migne PL 92.951d

And Peter, taking hold of him with his right hand, lifted him up. 1 The one whom he raised up, his right hand supported. Because the speech of the teacher in the heart of hearers does little good if it is not commended by the example of his own deeds. And getting up he stood, and he walked. And he entered the temple with them. The order of perfection is manifest, first to raise up the one who has fallen, then to take hold of virtue, and so to enter through the door of the kingdom with the Apostles. Saint Bede, from the Commentary on the Acts of The Apostles, Chap 3 1 Acts 3.7
