Read through Acts 11-28 quickly and make a note of each time it talks about God using miracles to
confirm the accuracy of the early church. Then answer these questions for each time it comes up:

it?
2. Were other “miracle workers” able to deceive through false signs?

3. Why did some mistake the apostles for deities?
