2 Corinthians 12:11-12:
> 11 I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing. 12 **The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works**. [ESV]
> 11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
12 **Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds**. [KJV]
Do believers in modern-day apostles believe that *signs, wonders and mighty deeds* must accompany true apostles? How do believers in modern-day apostles interpret this passage?
