Exegesis
The infinitival clause expresses what is granted—signs and wonders—while the prepositional phrase dia tōn cheirōn autōn {διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν | di-á tôn kheir-ôn au-tôn} marks the apostles as the means through which these signs occur.
In context — Acts 14:3
So they remained there for quite some time, speaking boldly for the Lord , and He bore witness to the word of His grace by permitting signs and wonders to be done through their hands.
