^8 (A)Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,^[a] cast out demons. ^(B)You received without paying; give without pay.

⁶ But Peter said, ^(A)“I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. ^(B)In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”

³⁰ while ^(A)you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed ^(B)through the name of your ^(C)holy servant Jesus.”

⁹ Heal the sick in it and say to them, ^(A)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

^33 (A)I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. ^34 (B)You yourselves know that ^(C)these hands ministered to my necessities and ^(D)to those who were with me. ³⁵ In all things ^(E)I have shown you that ^(F)by working hard in this way we must ^(G)help the weak and ^(H)remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed ^(I)to give than to receive.’”

The Twelve Apostles

10 ^(A)And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.

^18 (A)they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; ^(B)they will lay their hands ^(C)on the sick, and they will recover.”

¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” ²⁰ But Peter said to him, ^(A)“May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God ^(B)with money! ²¹ You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for ^(C)your heart is not right before God. ²² Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, ^(D)if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. ²³ For I see that you are in ^(E)the gall^[a] of bitterness and in ^(F)the bond of iniquity.”

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.
