Commentary on Acts 14:3
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord—The Greek parrhēsiazomenoi (speaking boldly) describes fearless, frank speech despite opposition, a term repeatedly used in Acts for Spirit-empowered witness under pressure. The phrase in the Lord shows their boldness derived from union with Christ, not personal courage. The Lord's response—granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands—authenticated their message with divine credentials. These sēmeia kai terata (signs and wonders) validated apostolic authority, demonstrating that God endorsed their controversial gospel.
