powerful works: Or “miracles.”—See study note on 1Co 12:10.
abilities to direct: The Greek word ky·berʹne·sis used here conveys the idea of “directing; guiding; administering; governing.” Such skillful direction was needed to fulfill Jesus’ commission to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” (Mt 28:19, 20) This includes giving some members of the congregation authority to establish new congregations and to guide the activities of all the congregations. (Ac 15:1, 2, 27-29; 16:4) This Greek term is related to a verb (ky·ber·naʹo), literally meaning “to steer a ship.” A related noun (ky·ber·neʹtes) is used twice in the Christian Greek Scriptures and is rendered “pilot” and “captain.”—Ac 27:11; Re 18:17.
