Chapter 5, verses 12-21
12
By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13
None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
14
More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
15
They even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
16
Multitudes also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
17
But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
18
and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
19
But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
20
“Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
21
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
