“Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.”
Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly about the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling apostles to perform great wonders and signs — despite opposition, the missionaries persist (chronizō, to spend time), speaking boldly (parrhēsiazō, with freedom and courage). The Lord confirms (martyreō, to testify to) his word through signs and wonders (sēmeia kai terata), suggesting that God's self-attestation bypasses rhetorical opposition through visible, undeniable works.
