¹²The people saw the apostles perform many miracles and do amazing things. The believers had a common faith in Jesus as they met on Solomon’s Porch. ¹³None of the other people dared to join them, although everyone spoke highly of them. ¹⁴More men and women than ever began to believe in the Lord. ¹⁵As a result, people carried their sick into the streets. They placed them on stretchers and cots so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some sick people as he went by. ¹⁶Crowds from the cities around Jerusalem would gather. They would bring their sick and those who were troubled by evil spirits, and each person was cured.

The Apostles’ Trial in Front of the Jewish Council

¹⁷The chief priest and the whole party of the Sadducees who were with him were extremely jealous. So they took action ¹⁸by arresting the apostles and putting them in the city jail. ¹⁹But at night an angel from the Lord opened the doors to their cell and led them out of the prison. ²⁰The angel told them, “Stand in the temple courtyard, and tell the people everything about life ⸤in Christ⸥.”
