Wonders and Miraculous Signs

Wonders and Miraculous Signs

Acts 2:43

Excerpt

Wonders (terata, “miracles evoking awe”) and miraculous signs(sēmeia, “miracles pointing to a divine truth”) authenticated the veracity of the apostles (cf. 2 Cor. 12:12; Heb. 2:3-4). The apostles performed many such “signs and wonders” (Acts 4:30; 5:12; 6:8;8:6, 13; 14:3; 15:12). Christ too had performed many “wonders” and “signs”—and also “miracles” (dynameis, “works of power”). More
