14 And increasingly (A)believers in the Lord, large numbers of men and women, were being (B)added to their number, 15 to 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 (C)at least his shadow might fall on any of them. 16 The [a]people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together as well, bringing people who were sick [b]or tormented with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.
Imprisonment and Release

17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
