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 Those then that had been scattered went through [the countries] announcing the glad tidings of the word.

5 And Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached the Christ to them;

6 and the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard [him] and saw the signs which he wrought.

7 For from many who had unclean spirits they went out, crying with a loud voice; and many that were paralysed and lame were healed.

8 And there was great joy in that city.
