Jesus called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases.

Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick,

So they went out and preached that people should turn away from their sins.

They drove out many demons, and rubbed olive oil on many sick people and healed them.

The disciples went and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and proved that their preaching was true by the miracles that were performed.]

Reach out your hand to heal, and grant that wonders and miracles may be performed through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."

As a result of what the apostles were doing, sick people were carried out into the streets and placed on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
