Next Verse |
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Note 8 at Ac 2:22: The Greek word translated "approved" in this verse is "APODEIKNUMI," and it means "to show off, i.e. exhibit; figuratively, to demonstrate, i.e. accredit" (Strong's Concordance). In this instance, Peter was saying that God bore witness to the authenticity of who Jesus was by the miracles He performed through Him. If Jesus needed the miraculous power of God to bear witness to His words, then how much more do we? Miracles and wonders are important to true evangelism.
