Exegesis
The threefold dative phrase dunamesi kai terasi kai semeiois {δυνάμεσι καὶ τέρασι καὶ σημείοις | dy-NÁ-me-si kaí TÉ-ra-si kaí sē-MEI-ois} functions instrumentally, describing the means by which the attestation took place, and its rhythmic triple structure heightens rhetorical emphasis on the miraculous.
In context — Acts 2:22
Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.
