Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 14:27

27 And when they were come and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

God being with them, and they being labourers with God, 1 Cor. 3.9 2 Cor. 6.1. They shewed how much God had honour'd them in making them his Instruments in the Conversion of so many Souls.

He had given the Gentiles an opportunity of knowing and believing the Gospel. The Fleece alone had been wet before, and all the Ground round about it dry; and now all the Ground is wet, and that Fleece was dry. To allude to Iudges 6.37, 39. by which this mystery was presignified, and can only be resolved by that of our Saviour, Matth. 11.25, 26. Even so Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
