So there was 1  great joy 2  in that city.

NET Notes

1 tn Grk “and there came about,” but this is somewhat awkward in English.

2 sn Great joy. The reason for eschatological joy was that such events pointed to God’s decisive deliverance (Luke 7:22-23). Note how the acts of healing extend beyond the Twelve here.
