Acts 5:12–20

¹²¹At the hands of the apostles many ^asigns and wonders were taking place 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 held them in high esteem.

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

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

¹⁶Also the ¹people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick ²or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.

Imprisonment and Release

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

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

¹⁹But during the night ^aan angel of the Lord opened the gates 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.”
