SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:11
Y hacía Dios singulares maravillas por manos de Pablo,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 19:11
Verse 11. God wrought special miracles] dunameiv te ou tav tucausav, Miracles of no ordinary kind, i.e. extraordinary miracles.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-12 - When arguments and persuasions only harden men in unbelief an blasphemy, we must separate ourselves and others from such unhol 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.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
11. Special (ou tav tucousav). A peculiar expression. Lit., not usual or common, such as one might fall in with frequently.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
19:11 {Special miracles} (dunameis ou tas tucousas). "Powers not the ones that happen by chance,"not the ordinary ones," litotes for "the extraordinary." All "miracles" or "powers" (dunameis) are supernatural and out of the ordinary, but here God regularly wrought (epoiei), imperfect active) wonders beyond those familiar to the disciples and completely different from the deeds of the Jewish exorcists. this phrase is peculiar to Luke in the N.T. (also #28:2), but it occurs in the classical Greek and in the _Koin_ as in III Macc. 3:7 and in papyri and inscriptions (Deissmann, _Bible Studies_, p. 255). In Samaria Philip wrought miracles to deliver the people from the influence of Simon magus. Here in Ephesus exorcists and other magicians had built an enormous vogue of a false spiritualism and Paul faces unseen forces of evil. His tremendous success led some people to superstitious practices thinking that there was power in Paul's person.
