Acts 5:13-15
New English Translation
13 None of the rest dared to join them,[a] but the people held them in high honor.[b] 14 More and more believers in the Lord were added to their number,[c] crowds of both men and women. 15 Thus[d] they even carried the sick out into the streets, and put them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow would fall on some of them.

- Acts 5:14 tn Or “More and more believers were added to the Lord.”
