Acts 8:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 8:6

And the people with one accord
The inhabitants of the city of Samaria, as one man, came to hear the word:

and gave heed to those things which Philip spake;
they listened to them, took notice of them, gave their ascent to them, believed and embraced them; being induced thereunto, not only upon the evidence by which these things came, but by reason of the miracles which he wrought, for the confirmation of them: for it follows,

hearing and seeing the miracles which he did;
and which are particularly mentioned in the next verse.

Acts 8:6 In-Context

4 However, those who were scattered announced the Good News of the Word wherever they went.
5 Now Philip went down to a city in Shomron and was proclaiming the Messiah to them;
6 and the crowds were paying close attention to what Philip said, as they heard and saw the miraculous signs he was doing.
7 For many people were having unclean spirits driven out of them, shrieking; also many paralytics and crippled persons were being healed;
8 so that there was great joy in that city.
