σφῠρ-όν G4974
ankles, ankle joints (part of the foot connecting to leg)
The lame man's 'ankles' received strength when Peter healed him, using a rare anatomical term appearing only here in the NT. Classical usage denotes the ankle joint; Luke's medical precision (a physician's detail) grounds the miracle in physical specificity—not vague 'feet' but the precise joint where lameness often originates. Spanish 'tobillos' and French 'cheville' preserve the anatomical exactness, lending credibility to Luke's eyewitness-style narration of instant structural healing.

1. sense 1 — Acts 3:7 records that the lame man's 'feet and ankles' were immediately strengthened when Peter lifted him. The anatomical specificity (ankles, not just feet) suggests medical observation—Luke notes the precise site of healing. English 'ankles' and Spanish 'tobillos' preserve the physical detail, grounding the miracle in bodily reality and lending Luke's account the precision of medical documentation. 1×
