Acts 5:15

5:15 Thus¹ 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 19:12

19:12 so that when even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his body² were brought³ to the sick, their diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.⁴

Acts 28:8

28:8 The father⁵ of Publius lay sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him⁶ and after praying, placed⁷ his hands on him and healed⁸ him.

¹tn This is a continuation of the preceding sentence in Greek, but because this would produce an awkward sentence in English, a new sentence was begun here in the translation.

²tn Or “skin” (the outer surface of the body).

³tn Or “were taken.” It might be that as word went out into the region that since the sick could not come to Paul, healing was brought to them this way. The “handkerchiefs” are probably face cloths for wiping perspiration (see BDAG 934 s.v. σουδάριον) while the “aprons” might be material worn by workmen (BDAG 923-24 s.v. σιμικίνθιον).

⁴tn The words “of them” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

⁵tn Grk “It happened that the father.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

⁶tn Grk “to whom Paul going in.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced by a personal pronoun (“him”) and a new sentence begun here in the translation. The participle εἰσελθών (eiselqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁷tn The participle ἐπιθείς (epiqeis) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁸sn And healed him. Here are healings like Luke 9:40; 10:30; 13:13; Acts 16:23.
