SCRIPTURE

"And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that believed turned unto the Lord." — Acts 11:21 (ASV)

And the hand of the Lord. See Barnes on Luke 1:66.

Compare Psalm 80:17. The meaning is that God showed them favor and demonstrated his power in the conversion of their hearers.
