Exegesis
The compound object semeia kai terata {σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα | sē-meî-a kaí té-ra-ta} “signs and wonders” pairs meaning-rich terms, and the phrase en tois ethnesin {ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν | en toîs éth-ne-sin} situates God’s work among the Gentiles, a key missiological focus of the council.
In context — Acts 15:12
Then the whole multitude became quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they recounted all the signs and wonders that God had done among the Gentiles through them.
