What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"And the hand of the Lord," it says, "was with them," that is, they wrought miracles; "and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord." Do you mark why now also there was need of miracles, namely, that they might believe?
Theophylact of Ohrid
The expression "the hand of the Lord was with them" shows that they were performing miracles. Do you see why miracles were needed now as well? So that they would believe.
Oecumenius
They then also spoke to them, proclaiming the Lord Jesus, and they all believed, for, he says, the hand of the Lord was with them; that is, they were performing signs. For it was necessary that signs be done in order that they might believe. [CHRYSOSTOM]
