“By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.”
Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.' — the final petition is for miracles: healing (iasis, healing, cure), signs (sēmeia, signs, miracles), and wonders (terata, wonders, portents) to validate the apostles' proclamation through Jesus' name. The phrase 'stretch out your hand' (ekteino cheir, extend hand, a phrase from OT miracles and deliverance) echoes God's mighty acts of salvation in the Exodus and Psalms.
