Acts 5:12–20

¹²Now ¹at the hands of the apostles many ^asigns and wonders were happening among the people, and they were all with one accord in ^bSolomon’s Portico.

¹³But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, ^athe people were holding them in high esteem.

¹⁴And more than ever ^abelievers in the Lord were ^badded to their number, multitudes of men and women,

¹⁵to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that when Peter came by ^aat least his shadow might fall on any one of them.

¹⁶Also the multitude from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick ¹or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.

The Apostles Jailed and Freed

¹⁷But the high priest rose up and those with him (that is ^athe sect of ^bthe Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.

¹⁸And they laid hands on the apostles and ^aput them in a public jail.

¹⁹But during the night ^aan angel of the ¹Lord opened the doors of the prison, and taking them out, he said,

²⁰“Go, stand and ¹speak to the people in the temple ^2athe whole message of this Life.”
