Barnes New Testament Notes by Albert Barnes

THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS - Chapter 12 - Verse 12

Verse 12. Truly the signs of an apostle. Such miracles as the acknowledged apostles worked. Such |signs| or evidences that they were Divinely commissioned. See Barnes |Mr 16:16|; See Barnes |Mr 16:17|; See Barnes |Ro 15:19|.

Were wrought among you. That is, by me. See Barnes |1 Co 9:2|.

In all patience. I performed those works notwithstanding the opposition which I met with. I patiently persevered in furnishing the evidence of my Divine commission. There was a succession of miracles demonstrating that I was from God, notwithstanding the unreasonable opposition which I met with, until I convinced you that I was called to the office of an apostle.

In signs, and wonders. In working miracles. See Barnes |Ac 2:22|.

What these miracles at Corinth were, we are not distinctly informed. They probably, however, were similar to those wrought in other places, in healing the sick, etc.; the most benevolent, as it was one of the most decisive proofs of the Divine power.

{a} |signs of an apostle| 1 Co 9:2
