14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.
14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
14 On the other hand, those who put their trust in the Master were added right and left, men and women both.
14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
14 Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord-crowds of both men and women.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Acts 5:14
Commentary on Acts 5:12-16
(Read Acts 5:12-16)
The separation of hypocrites by distinguishing judgments, should make the sincere cleave closer to each other and to the gospel ministry. Whatever tends to the purity and reputation of the church, promotes its enlargement; but that power alone which wrought such miracles by the apostles, can rescue sinners from the power of sin and Satan, and add believers to His worshippers. Christ will work by all his faithful servants; and every one who applies to him shall be healed.
