12And many miracles and wonders were done among the people
by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's Porch.
13And of the rest no one dared to join himself to them, but
the people magnified them;
14and more believing ones were added to the Lord, multitudes
both of men and women;
15So as to carry out the sick into the streets and place
them on cots and mattresses, so that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might
overshadow some of them.
16And also a multitude came from the cities around Jerusalem,
bringing sick ones, and those being tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.

- The people were all in one accord, (of like mind) and they magnified the Apostles,
therefore the Apostles were set-apart from the people. This shows a respect
for the offices of the ministry.
- Yet even with this great restraining and admonishment of the people for the Apostles,
their numbers kept on increasing.
- Even Peter's shadow healed the sick. However it is still essential to have faith,
for the peoples faith, hope and belief was that Peter's shadow would fall on
them and heal them. The shadow was rather a point of contact, that the people believed in.
- We need to be people of faith, for without faith it is impossible to please
him, Hebrews 11:6.
- Lastly in scripture it says that all were healed.
