Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
Ver. 12. The wonderful works] The magnifical, majestical things of God; they praised him according to his excellent greatness, Psalms 150:2 .
What meaneth this?] Gr. "What will this be, or come to?" a And here began their conversion. Let none "despise the day of small things," Zechariah 4:10 : God put little thoughts into Ahasuerus's head, but for great purposes,Ezra 6:1. The word falls often upon men's ears, "as the sound of many waters" at first, working wonder only. Next "as the voice of thunder," working fear also, as it did on these here, Acts 2:37. Lastly, as the harmony of harpers, filling the heart with peace and joy through believing, as one observeth from Rev 14:1-5
