Acts 5:15

13 Yet ^anone of the rest dared join them, ^bbut the people esteemed them highly.

14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, ^athat at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing ^asick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

Imprisoned Apostles Freed

17 ^aThen the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with¹ indignation,

18 ^aand laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.

Acts 5:15 They brought forth the sick into the streets. The fame of the miracles, and especially of Peter's, caused this to be done. The shadow of Peter. It is not said that the shadow of Peter falling on them did any good, but the people supposed it might. The object is to show the great favor of the apostles with the people. It was a time, however, when multitudes of miracles were wrought.
