Acts 9:42 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This cure was wrought, and all the other miracles were done, to be a means to make the gospel to be believed, which he published, and was an undeniable proof that this doctrine was from heaven; for none could do such things unless God were with him, or rather, unless God did them by him; so that this miracle wrought by St. Peter did more good to the souls of many, than to the body of this relieved woman.

Acts 9:42

42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
