ACC ~ Acts 14 v3

GOOD WILL AND MIRACLES CAUSE SUCH BOLDNESS. CHRYSOSTOM: Why didn’t the apostles go forth from there? Because they were not driven away, only attacked. “So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.” This caused their boldness; or rather, what caused their boldness was their own good will. It is for this reason that for a long time they worked no miracles. The conversion of the hearers was [the effect] of the signs, though their boldness also contributed somewhat.
