The apostles performed
The term "apostles" comes from the Greek word "apostolos," meaning "one who is sent out." This highlights the divine commissioning of the apostles by Jesus Christ to spread the Gospel. Their role was foundational in the early church, serving as both leaders and witnesses to Christ's resurrection. The phrase "performed" indicates active engagement in their mission, empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry out miraculous works.

many signs and wonders
"Signs" (Greek: "semeia") and "wonders" (Greek: "terata") refer to miraculous events that serve as divine authentication of the apostles' message. In the biblical context, these terms often appear together, emphasizing both the miraculous nature and the purpose of these acts—to point people to God and confirm the truth of the Gospel. Historically, such signs and wonders were crucial in establishing the credibility of the early church in a skeptical world.

among the people
This phrase underscores the public nature of the apostles' ministry. The miracles were not performed in secret but "among the people," indicating transparency and accessibility. The early church was deeply integrated into the community, and the apostles' works were a testament to God's power and presence among His people.

and with one accord
The Greek word "homothumadon" is translated as "with one accord," signifying unity and harmony among the believers. This unity was a hallmark of the early church, reflecting the prayer of Jesus in John 17 for His followers to be one. Such unity was essential for the church's strength and witness, allowing them to face external opposition with a united front.

the believers gathered together
The act of gathering together was central to the life of the early church. It was in these gatherings that believers found encouragement, teaching, and fellowship. The Greek term "synago" implies a purposeful assembly, highlighting the intentionality behind their meetings. This practice of gathering is a model for Christian community, emphasizing the importance of corporate worship and mutual support.

in Solomon’s Colonnade
Solomon's Colonnade, also known as Solomon's Porch, was a covered area on the eastern side of the Temple in Jerusalem. It served as a meeting place for the early church, providing a public yet somewhat protected space for teaching and fellowship. Archaeologically, this location is significant as it connects the early Christian movement with the Jewish heritage, symbolizing continuity and fulfillment of God's promises through Christ. The choice of this location also reflects the apostles' strategic use of familiar and significant spaces to reach the people with the Gospel message.

(12) Many signs and wonders. . . .--See Note on Acts 2:22.

They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.--See Notes on Acts 3:2; John 10:23. It was, we have seen, at all times a favourite place of resort for teachers. The chronology of this period of the history is still, as before, left somewhat indefinite; but assuming some months to have passed since the Day of Pentecost, what is now related would be in the winter, when, as in John 10:23, that portico, as facing the east and catching the morning sunlight, was more than usually frequented. On "with one accord," see Note on Acts 4:24. . . .

Verse 12. - By the hands of the apostles, etc. Two things are here remarkable. The one that Christianity at its beginnings was mightily helped and advanced by miracles done in the Name of Jesus Christ. The other that the authority of the apostles as the rulers of the Church was greatly strengthened by these miracles being wrought exclusively by their hands. We cannot understand either the external relations of the Church to the world, or the internal relations of the people to their spiritual rulers, unless we duly take count of these two things. With one accord (see Acts 4:24, note). In Solomon's porch (see Acts 3:11, note). It is quite true to nature that Solomon's porch, having been the scene of the miracle, became the place of frequent concourse. There is a difference of opinion among commentators as to whether the all refers to the whole Christian laity as in Acts 2:1, or to the apostles only. Alford thinks the latter, Meyer the former. The opinion that the whole body of Christians is meant seems most probable, both from the use of the words in Acts 2. I and from the phrase ὁμοθυμαδὸν (especially in connection with ἅπαμτες), which seems more applicable to a mixed multitude than to twelve colleagues like the apostles. You could hardly say that all the queen's ministers met in a Cabinet Council with one accord. There is no need for the parenthesis as in the A.V.
