Acts 5:12

12 per manus autem apostolorum fiebant signa et prodigia multa in plebe et erant unianimiter omnes in porticu Salomonis

Acts 5:12 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 5:12

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and
wonders wrought
That is, by their means, or by them as instruments, or through the imposition of their hands on persons, many miraculous and wonderful cures, as well as other extraordinary actions, were performed:

among the people;
the common people, who attended in great numbers on their ministry, when the chief men and rulers of the nation despised them.

And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch;
which is to be understood not of the whole church, nor of the hundred and twenty disciples, but of the twelve apostles, who met in this place to preach the Gospel to the people; and they were agreed in their doctrine and practice, and were united in their affections to one another. Of Solomon's porch, (See Gill on John 10:23). These words, with what follow to the 15th verse, are to be read in a parenthesis.

Acts 5:12 In-Context

10 confestim cecidit ante pedes eius et exspiravit intrantes autem iuvenes invenerunt illam mortuam et extulerunt et sepelierunt ad virum suum
11 et factus est timor magnus in universa ecclesia et in omnes qui audierunt haec
12 per manus autem apostolorum fiebant signa et prodigia multa in plebe et erant unianimiter omnes in porticu Salomonis
13 ceterorum autem nemo audebat coniungere se illis sed magnificabat eos populus
14 magis autem augebatur credentium in Domino multitudo virorum ac mulierum
