Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. That is, such miracles as should be the seals and testimony of the truth. These miracles were therefore — 1. Signs to the apostles themselves, so that they might not despair at the greatness of the work which they were commissioned to do. 2. Signs to others, and a confirmation of the truth which the apostles taught. Hence Christ does not call them miracles, but signs: since the very object of the miracles which followed their teaching was to have this moral effect, and to testify to those who needed this proof, that the doctrine which they delivered was from God.
