Many Signs and Wonders Done
12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people
1by the hands of the apostles. And they were all
2together in
3Solomon's Portico.
13
None of the rest dared join them, but
4the people held them in high esteem.
14
And
5more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
15
6so that they even
7carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by
8at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
16
The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem,
9bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
The Apostles Arrested and Freed
17 But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of
10the Sadducees), and filled with
11jealousy
18
they arrested the apostles and
12put them in the public prison.
19
But during the night
13an angel of the Lord
14opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,
20
"Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all
15the words of
16this
17Life."
21
And when they heard this,
18they entered the temple
19at daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council and all the senate of the people of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.
