This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, etc. - Compare Act 5:15, Act 5:16, very different from the magical acts practiced at Ephesus. “God wrought these miracles” merely “by the hands of Paul”; and the very exorcists (Act 19:13), observing that the name of Jesus was the secret of all his miracles, hoped, by aping him in this, to be equally successful; while the result of all in the “magnifying of the Lord Jesus” (Act 19:17) showed that in working them the apostle took care to hold up Him whom he preached as the source of all the miracles which he wrought.
