Note 1 at Ac 6:8: Some have argued that miracles stopped with the last of the apostles. First of all, there are still apostles today (see note 1 at Mr 3:14 and note 2 at Lu 6:13). And second, Stephen was not an apostle, yet he performed miracles. This is proof that believers (Mr 16:17 and Joh 14:12), and not just apostles, can perform miracles by faith in the Lord Jesus (see note 4 at Ac 3:16).
