Acts 5:12-15 in English

¹² And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people: and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹³ But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;

¹⁴ and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women:

¹⁵ insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.

¹² And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹³ And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

¹⁴ And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

¹⁵ Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

¹² And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹⁴ and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;

¹⁵ insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.

¹² God was enabling the apostles to do many amazing miracles among the people. All the believers were meeting together regularly in the temple courtyard at the place called Solomon's Porch.

¹³ All of the other people who had not yet believed in Jesus were afraid to associate with the believers, because they knew that if they did anything evil, God would punish them, as well as revealing it to the believers. However, those people continued to greatly respect the believers.

¹⁴ Many more men and women started believing in the Lord Jesus, and they joined the group of believers.

¹⁵ The apostles were doing amazing miracles, so people were bringing those who were sick into the streets, and laying them on stretchers and mats, in order that when Peter came by he would touch them, or at least his shadow might fall upon some of them and heal them.

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 least his shadow might overshadow some of 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 least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

¹² Now a number of signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all together in Solomon's covered way.

¹³ The others, in fear, kept back from joining them: but the people made much of them;

¹⁴ And a great number of men and women had faith, and were joined to the Lord;

¹⁵ And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.

¹² And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch,

¹³ but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them;

¹⁴ and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;)

¹⁵ so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them.

¹² And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹³ But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.

¹⁴ And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:

¹⁵ Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.

¹² Now by the hands of the apostles, many signs and wonders took place among the people. And they were all with one mind in Solomon's Porch.

¹³ But none of the rest dared join them, but the people were magnifying them.

¹⁴ And more than ever, believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

¹⁵ so that they were bringing the sick out into the streets, and placing them on couches and pallets, so that as Peter was passing, at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

¹² Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all in Solomon's Porch with one purpose.

¹³ None of the rest dared to join them, but the people were magnifying them.

¹⁴ Believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

¹⁵ to the point that they kept carrying the sick into the streets, placing them on cots and pallets, so that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

¹² Many miraculous signs were performed among the people by the apostles. All the believers used to meet together in Solomon's porch.

¹³ Nobody else dared to join them even though they were greatly respected.

¹⁴ However, many men and women came to believe in the Lord.

¹⁵ As a result, people brought those who were sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that as Peter passed by his shadow might fall on them.

¹² Thus by the hands of the Apostles were many signes and wonders shewed among the people (and they were all with one accorde in Salomons porche.

¹³ And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.

¹⁴ Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)

¹⁵ In so much that they brought the sicke into the streetes, and layd them on beds and couches, that at the least way the shadowe of Peter, when he came by, might shadow some of them.

¹² And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹³ And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

¹⁴ And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

¹⁵ Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

¹² And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

¹³ But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;

¹⁴ and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;

¹⁵ so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them.

¹² Many signs and wonders continued to occur amongst the people, through the instrumentality of the apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;

¹³ but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,

¹⁴ and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.

¹⁵ The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on someone of them.

¹² The close followers of Jesus kept doing powerful things to show everyone that God is powerful. All the Christians kept meeting together in God’s ceremony house, in the part called Solomon’s shade area.

¹³ There were other people in that city that were too frightened to join the Christians. But most of the people thought the Christians were really good people,

¹⁴ and some of them kept listening, and then a lot of men and women started believing in Jesus, and then they joined up with the Christians.

¹⁵ A lot of people saw the close followers of Jesus do powerful things, so they brought sick people and put them on beds and mats on the roads. They thought, “Even if Peter doesn’t touch them maybe his shadow will touch them as he walks past them, and that will make them better.”
