“And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.”
Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles — awe (phobos, fear, reverence, respect) at the apostolic wonders (terata, wonders; sēmeia, signs) recalls the awe at Jesus' miracles; the apostles continue his work. The wonders authenticate the apostles' proclamation and the church's message, showing that God's power still operates through his representatives.
