Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there was great joy in that city. Both on a spiritual account, for the good of their souls, through the preaching of Christ and his Gospel to them; and on a temporal account; for the good of their bodies, or their friends, being dispossessed of devils, and healed of their diseases.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And there was great joy - This joy arose:

1. From the fact that so many persons, before sick and afflicted, were restored to health.

(2)From the conversion of individuals to Christ.

(3)From the mutual joy of “families” and “friends” that their friends were converted. The tendency of a revival of religion is thus to produce great joy.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 8:8. There was great joy in that city. — No wonder, when they heard such glorious truths, and were the subjects of such beneficent miracles.
