Acts 5:12-15
Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
The church once publicly gathered as many sick people as possible together into one place that perhaps even the shadow of God's people might pass over them. Now it passes on the opportunity to gather together publicly, encouraging the sick to stay home, and avoids the possibility of coming into contact with even the shadow of another believer.
