This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well,Somehow, Paul could perceive the level of one's faith. The way this verse is phrased, it sounds like perhaps it was some kind of "special sight ," where it was a visible sign of some sort. I wonder what it was, and how he came to understand what it meant?
Is this some special gift that Paul had, to be able to see visibly when someone had faith? Or is this something that falls under the spiritual gift of discernment? Or perhaps it was tied to the ability to heal, as a sort of flag for when to use that gift?
