“And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)”
Nevertheless, more and more believers were added to the Lord - crowds of both men and women - the 'more and more' (mallon de prosethento) shows growth despite the fear, even because of the fear. The phrase 'added to the Lord' (prosthithēmi tō kyriō) is unique in Acts, emphasizing that growth is not organizational but personal—incorporation into the Lord's body. The explicit mention of women marks a social revolution in a patriarchal context.
