    Why did Peter say give me your right hand instead of his left hand

    Hi Patricia. In Acts 3:7, it says that Peter "took him by the right hand and lifted him (the lame man) up". I don't read it as Peter asking him to "give me your right hand". I hope that I'm referring to the same verse that you are.

    So, it was simply a positionally matter, where Peter was on the man's right side, & if Peter was right-handed, then it would be natural to use his right hand to help lift someone off the ground by his right hand. But if Peter specifically wanted to lift the man by his right hand, when the most natural way would be to grab his left hand, then you might have some cause to question this. Then we could ask, 'was the lame man's left hand deformed or injured in some way that warranted Peter to request only his right hand'? But I think that it's safe to understand that Peter took the man's hand that was nearest to him to enable him to be lifted.
