Acts 8:8 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 8:8

And there was great joy in that city.

Acts 8:8 In-Context

7 For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.

8 And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.

10 To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.
