In biblical context, the "hand of God" often represents His intervention and might (<a href="/exodus/15-6.htm">Exodus 15:6</a>, <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a>). Healing was a significant aspect of Jesus' ministry (<a href="/matthew/4-23.htm">Matthew 4:23</a>), and the apostles continued this work, demonstrating the ongoing presence of God's power through them. The act of healing serves as a testament to God's compassion and the fulfillment of His promises to restore and redeem.and perform signs and wonders Signs and wonders are miraculous events that serve as evidence of divine authority and the truth of the gospel message. In the early church, these acts validated the apostles' teachings and attracted many to the faith (<a href="/acts/2-43.htm">Acts 2:43</a>, <a href="/hebrews/2-4.htm">Hebrews 2:4</a>). Historically, such miracles were seen as a continuation of the works of Jesus, who performed numerous signs to reveal His identity as the Messiah (<a href="/john/20-30.htm">John 20:30-31</a>). These acts also fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about the coming of God's kingdom with power (<a href="/joel/2-28.htm">Joel 2:28-30</a>).through the name of Your holy servant Jesus. The name of Jesus holds significant power and authority, as seen throughout the New Testament (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>). In Jewish culture, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and authority of a person. The apostles invoked Jesus' name to perform miracles, emphasizing their reliance on His power rather than their own (<a href="/acts/3-6.htm">Acts 3:6</a>). Referring to Jesus as "Your holy servant" highlights His role as the obedient and chosen one of God, fulfilling the prophecies of the suffering servant in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>.

A like instance of the nomen et omen idea is found in the identification by Tertullian (Apol. c. 3) of Christos and Chrestos (good, or gracious), of which we have, perhaps, a foreshadowing in <a href="/1_peter/2-3.htm" title="If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.">1Peter 2:3</a>. (Comp. also <a href="/acts/9-34.htm" title="And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you whole: arise, and make your bed.

(See Note on <a href="/acts/3-13.htm" title="The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.">Acts 3:13</a>.)<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 30. - While thou stretchest for by stretching, A.V.; thy for thine, A.V.; through for by, A.V.; Servant for child, A.V., as in ver. 27 and <a href="/acts/3-13.htm">Acts 3:13, 26</a>. While thou stretchest, etc. The A.V. seems preferable. It was the fact that, while they preached the Word of God, the Lord confirmed the Word with signs following, which gave them such superhuman courage to persevere in the face of death and bonds. And this was God s method and means of encouraging them. And that signs and wonders may be done. But this clause is better rendered, as Beza and Bengel render it, in dependence upon ἐν τῷ, and by signs and wonders being done, as the consequence of the stretching out of the hand of Jesus. The other ways of construing the sentence are either to make the clause, "that signs and wonders may be done," dependent upon "grant," which seems to be the meaning of the A.V., or else to take it, as Meyer does, as an independent clause, expressing the aim of the stretching out of the hand. <a href="/commentaries/acts/4-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>as ἐν (en) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> In, on, among.
