Many Signs and Wonders Done

12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people (A)by the hands of the apostles. And they were all (B)together in (C)Solomon's Portico. 13 None of the rest dared join them, but (D)the people held them in high esteem. 14 And (E)more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 (F)so that they even (G)carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by (H)at least his shadow might fall on some of them. 16 The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, (I)bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

The Apostles Arrested and Freed

17 But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of (J)the Sadducees), and filled with (K)jealousy 18 they arrested the apostles and (L)put them in the public prison. 19 But during the night (M)an angel of the Lord (N)opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all (O)the words of (P)this (Q)Life.”

The Apostles Persecuted

17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party(H) of the Sadducees,(I) were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.(J) 19 But during the night an angel(K) of the Lord opened the doors of the jail(L) and brought them out.(M) 20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.”(N)
