Albert Barnes Commentary
"And there also came together the multitudes from the cities round about Jerusalem, bring sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one." — Acts 5:16 (ASV)
There came also, etc. Attracted by the fame of Peter's miracles, as the people formerly had been by the miracles of the Lord Jesus.
Vexed. Troubled, afflicted, or tormented.
Unclean spirits. Possessed with devils; called unclean because they prompted to sin and impurity of life. See Barnes on Matthew 4:23-24.
And they were healed. Of these persons it is expressly affirmed that they were healed. Of those who were laid so that the shadow of Peter might pass over them, there is no such affirmation.
And they were healed (James 5:16).
