Acts 6:8

Context
Stephen is Arrested

6:8 Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and miraculous signs 1  among the people.

Acts 15:40

Context
15:40 but Paul chose Silas and set out, commended 2  to the grace of the Lord by the brothers and sisters. 3 

1 tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context. Here the work of miracles extends beyond the Twelve for the first time.

2 tn Or “committed.” BDAG 762 s.v. παραδίδωμι 2 gives “be commended by someone to the grace of the Lord” as the meaning for this phrase, although “give over” and “commit” are listed as alternatives for this category.

3 tn Grk “by the brothers.” Here it it is highly probable that the entire congregation is in view, not just men, so the translation “brothers and sisters” has been used for the plural ἀδελφῶν (adelfwn),.
