5:12 Ongoing miracles and healings

12 The missionaries went on to do many miracles and amazing things, and all the people who gathered in Shelomoh’s Porch had a united vision, 13 but no one else dared to join them. However, the people were talking positively about them 14 and more were becoming believers in the master—big numbers of both men and women. 15 Some would even bring those who were sick out to the side of the road, lying them on beds and mats waiting for Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) to come past so that even his shadow might touch them. 16 More crowds were coming from the towns around Yerushalem (Jerusalem), bringing those who were sick and those tormented by demons, and they were all getting healed.
