From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 47. Praising God. See Lu 24:53. And having favour. See Lu 2:52. With all the people. That is, with the great mass of the people; with the people generally. It does not mean that all the people had become reconciled to Christianity; but their humble, serious, and devoted lives won the favour of the great mass of the community, and silenced opposition and cavil. This was a remarkable effect; but God has power to silence opposition; and there is nothing so well fitted to do this as the humble and consistent lives of his friends. And the Lord added. See Ac 5:14; 11:24, etc. It was the Lord who did this.
