Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
They did not flee at the first sign of opposition but stood firm with rare constancy, counting dangers as nothing. The Lord emboldened them by confirming His doctrine with miracles, showing His power openly before all people, this is the true use of signs, to display God's grace and power.

They went together into the synagogue, testifying their unanimity; the banishment of confessors scatters the seed of the church. Let not those of any denomination suffer for others' faults, do good to those who have done evil to you, seeking their salvation even when they have used you barbarously.

Commenting on Acts 14:1-7
They remained undaunted and undiscouraged, speaking with great freedom and courage in the Lord's name, depending on His strength. God bore witness to the Gospel, called the word of His grace, because it proclaims His favor to mankind, by granting them to work miracles, which were wrought by God's power, not theirs.
