Acts 5:12-16

Holy Fear, Bold Witness, and Joyful Suffering

The Spirit purifies the church, the apostles continue powerful witness, the authorities intensify opposition, and the apostles rejoice that they are counted worthy to suffer for Jesus' name.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

12The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.

13Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.

14Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.

15As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

16Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
