“And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.”
When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said - the crowds' attention is gained through 'signs' (sēmeia, miraculous signs) and Philip's proclamation together. The 'signs' (plural) attest to divine action; the proclamation interprets the signs theologically. Signs alone do not produce faith; they must be accompanied by the word, which gives them meaning.
