Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 5:13-16.


Acts 5:15

_ _ into the streets — “in every street.”

_ _ on beds and couches — The words denote the softer couches of the rich and the meaner cribs of the poor [Bengel].

_ _ shadow of Peter ... might overshadow some of them — Compare Acts 19:12; Luke 8:46. So Elisha. Now the predicted greatness of Peter (Matthew 16:18), as the directing spirit of the early Church, was at its height.
