What does Acts 19:11 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Acts 19:11-12
11-12. God wrought special--no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul--implying that he had not been accustomed to work such.

Barnes' Notes
Verse 11. Special Miracles. Miracles that were remarkable; that were not common, or that were very unusual, ουταςτυχουσας. This expression is classic Greek. Thus Longinus says of Moses, that he was no common man. ουχοτυχωνανηρ.

(|) "special" "signal" (g) "miracles" Mk 16:20

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Acts 19:8-12

When arguments and persuasions only harden men in unbelief and blasphemy, we must separate ourselves and others from such unholy company. God was pleased to confirm the teaching of these holy men of old, that if their hearers believed them not, they might believe the works.
