Contextual Overview

⁸ And he went into the Synagogue, and for three months he was preaching there without fear, reasoning and teaching about the kingdom of God. ⁹ But because some of the people were hard-hearted and would not give hearing, saying evil words about the Way before the people, he went away from them, and kept the disciples separate, reasoning every day in the school of Tyrannus. ¹⁰ And this went on for two years, so that all those who were living in Asia had knowledge of the word of the Lord, Greeks as well as Jews. ¹¹ And God did special works of power by the hands of Paul: ¹² So that bits of linen and clothing from his body were taken to people who were ill, and their diseases went away from them and the evil spirits went out.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul. For the confirmation of the doctrine which he preached, and of his mission, as an apostle; and these were not any sort of miracles, common and vulgar ones, and much less things of chance, and what were merely accidental, as the word may signify; but they were rare and uncommon ones, and in which there was a visible display of the power of God; to whom as the efficient cause they are ascribed, the apostle being only an instrument God made use of.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Special miracles - Miracles that were remarkable; that were not common, or that were very unusual (οὐ τὰς τυχών ou tas tuchōn). This expression is Classical Greek. Thus, Longinus says of Moses that he was no common man - οὐχ ̓ ὁ τύχων ἀνήρ ouch ho tuchōn anēr.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 19:11. God wrought special miracles — Δυναμεις τε ου τας τυχαυσας, Miracles of no ordinary kind, i.e. extraordinary miracles.
