What did the people think about Peter and John?

Acts 3:12 (ESV)

12 And when Peter saw it he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk?

The people considered that Peter and John must be very holy men and that it is a result of their godliness (piety) or their power that they have brought about the man’s healing.1
