Peter is addressing his fellow Jews, emphasizing a shared heritage and faith. He seeks to connect with them on a cultural and religious level.

What does it mean by looking earnestly at Peter and John?

It means the crowd was intensely focused on Peter and John, possibly because they were amazed or confused about how the man could walk suddenly.

Peter is clarifying that he and John did not heal the man through their abilities but through God’s intervention, teaching the crowd to attribute miracles to divine action.
