16 G1161 There came G4905 also G2532 a multitude G4128 out of the cities G4172 round about G4038 unto G1519 Jerusalem, G2419 bringing G5342 sick G772 folks, and G2532 them which were vexed G3791 with G5259 unclean G169 spirits: G4151 and they G3748 were healed G2323 every one. G537
And G1161 these G5023 signs G4592 shall follow G3877 them that believe; G4100 In G1722 my G3450 name G3686 shall they cast out G1544 devils; G1140 they shall speak G2980 with new G2537 tongues; G1100 They shall take up G142 serpents; G3789 and if G2579 they drink G4095 any G5100 deadly G2286 thing, G5100 it shall not G3364 hurt G984 them; G846 they shall lay G2007 hands G5495 on G1909 the sick, G732 and G2532 they shall G2192 recover. G2573
And G2532 his G846 fame G189 went G565 throughout G1519 all G3650 Syria: G4947 and G2532 they brought G4374 unto him G846 all G3956 sick G2560 people G2192 that were taken with G4912 divers G4164 diseases G3554 and G2532 torments, G931 and G2532 those which were possessed with devils, G1139 and G2532 those which were lunatick, G4583 and G2532 those that had the palsy; G3885 and G2532 he healed G2323 them. G846
And G2532 great G4183 multitudes G3793 came G4334 unto him, G846 having G2192 with G3326 them those that were G1438 lame, G5560 blind, G5185 dumb, G2974 maimed, G2948 and G2532 many G4183 others, G2087 and G2532 cast G4496 them G846 down G4496 at G3844 Jesus' G2424 feet; G4228 and G2532 he healed G2323 them: G846 Insomuch that G5620 the multitude G3793 wondered, G2296 when they saw G991 the dumb G2974 to speak, G2980 the maimed G2948 to be whole, G5199 the lame G5560 to walk, G4043 and G2532 the blind G5185 to see: G991 and G2532 they glorified G1392 the God G2316 of Israel. G2474
And G2532 they come G2064 unto G4314 him, G846 bringing G5342 one sick of the palsy, G3885 which was borne G142 of G5259 four. G5064 And G2532 when they could G1410 not G3361 come nigh G4331 unto him G846 for G1223 the press, G3793 they uncovered G648 the roof G4721 where G3699 he was: G2258 and G2532 when they had broken it up, G1846 they let down G5465 the bed G2895 wherein G1909 G3739 the sick of the palsy G3885 lay. G2621
And G2532 when they G846 were come G1831 out of G1537 the ship, G4143 straightway G2112 they knew G1921 him, G846 And ran through G4063 that G1565 whole G3650 region round about, G4066 and began G756 to carry about G4064 in G1909 beds G2895 those that were G2192 sick, G2560 where G3699 they heard G191 he was. G3754 G1563 G2076 And G2532 whithersoever G3699 G302 he entered, G1531 into G1519 villages, G2968 or G2228 cities, G4172 or G2228 country, G68 they laid G5087 the sick G770 in G1722 the streets, G58 and G2532 besought G3870 him G846 that G2443 they might touch G680 if G2579 it were but G2579 the border G2899 of his G846 garment: G2440 and G2532 as many G3745 as G302 touched G680 him G846 were made whole. G4982
And G2532 it came to pass G1096 on G1722 a certain G3391 day, G2250 as G2532 he G846 was G2258 teaching, G1321 that G2532 there were G2258 Pharisees G5330 and G2532 doctors of the law G3547 sitting by, G2521 which G3739 were G2258 come G2064 out of G1537 every G3956 town G2968 of Galilee, G1056 and G2532 Judaea, G2449 and G2532 Jerusalem: G2419 and G2532 the power G1411 of the Lord G2962 was G2258 present to G1519 heal G2390 them. G846
And G1161 the people, G3793 when they knew G1097 it, followed G190 him: G846 and G2532 he received G1209 them, G846 and spake G2980 unto them G846 of G4012 the kingdom G932 of God, G2316 and G2532 healed G2390 them that had G2192 need G5532 of healing. G2322
Verily, G281 verily, G281 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 He that believeth G4100 on G1519 me, G1691 the works G2041 that G3739 I G1473 do G4160 shall he do G4160 also; G2548 and G2532 greater works than G3187 these G5130 shall he do; G4160 because G3754 I G1473 go G4198 unto G4314 my G3450 Father. G3962
By G1722 G4571 stretching forth G1614 thine G4675 hand G5495 to G1519 heal; G2392 and G2532 that signs G4592 and G2532 wonders G5059 may be done G1096 by G1223 the name G3686 of thy G4675 holy G40 child G3816 Jesus. G2424

Commentary on Acts 5 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 5
In this chapter we have,
Act 5:1-11
The chapter begins with a melancholy but, which puts a stop to the pleasant and agreeable prospect of things which we had in the foregoing chapters; as every man, so every church, in its best state has its but.
Act 5:12-16
We have here an account of the progress of the gospel, notwithstanding this terrible judgment inflicted upon two hypocrites.
Act 5:17-25
Never did any good work go on with any hope of success, but it met with opposition; those that are bent to do mischief cannot be reconciled to those who make it their business to do good. Satan, the destroyer of mankind, ever was, and will be, an adversary to those who are the benefactors of mankind; and it would have been strange if the apostles had gone on thus teaching and healing and had had no check. In these verses we have the malice of hell and the grace of heaven struggling about them, the one to drive them off from this good work, the other to animate them in it,
Act 5:26-42
We are not told what it was that the apostles preached to the people; no doubt it was according to the direction of the angel-the words of this life; but what passed between them and the council we have here an account of; for in their sufferings there appeared more of a divine power and energy than even in their preaching. Now here we have,
