The Mysterious Power of a Man Filled with the Holy Ghost
K. Gerok. Acts 5:15 So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches… 1. He repels the wicked (ver. 13), and attracts the good. 2. He is the torment of unclean spirits (ver. 16), but gives rest to the weary and heavy-laden (ver. 18). 3. To the enemies of truth He is as the savour of death unto death — Ananias and Sapphira; the priests and elders — and to souls desiring salvation, a savour of life unto life — the sick, and those who were added to the Church. (K. Gerok.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. WEB: They even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
