Acts 5:12-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Apostles Continue To Speak And Do Miracles. Multitudes Believe. Many Are Healed
12 Now many signs and wonders were taking place through the hands of the apostles among the people. And they were all with-one-accord in the portico[a] of Solomon. 13 But none of the rest[b] was daring to join[c] them, yet the people were magnifying them. 14 And more people believing in the Lord[d] were being added— multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they were even bringing-out the sick into the wide-roads and putting them on little-beds and cots, in order that while Peter was coming, if-even[e] his shadow might overshadow one of them. 16 And the multitude from the cities around Jerusalem was also coming-together, bringing sick ones and ones being troubled by unclean spirits, who all were being cured.
