Act 4:30. Ἐν τῷ, in or by) in stretching forth, that is, whilst Thou dost stretch forth. Miracles accompany the word, and give a stimulus to its efficiency: ch. Act 14:3, “The Lord-gave testimony unto the word of His grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done.” Mar 16:20.-ἐκτείνειν σε, Thy stretching forth) Often in the Old Testament the arm of the Lord is spoken of as stretched forth.-εἰς ἴασιν, to healing) Act 4:22.-γίνεσθαι) Repeat ἐν τῷ, whilst signs, etc., are being done. For I cannot admit the construction εἰς γίνεσθαι, as there is no article intervening (i.e. before γίνεσθαι): therefore εἰς ἴασιν is to be construed with ἐκτείνειν. The comma ought to be, not before εἰς, but after ἴασιν: whilst thou art stretching forth-and whilst signs are being done. Thus all is clear.-ὀνόματος, the name) Act 4:17.
