Commentary on Acts 5:15
The extraordinary scene - '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' - demonstrates radical faith in God's power through apostolic ministry. The Greek 'kan' (at the least) shows desperate hope even for indirect contact. Whether shadows actually healed is debated, but the passage emphasizes people's faith and God's power. This parallels woman touching Jesus' garment (Mark 5:27-29), showing faith grasps available means.
