Acts 5:15

They even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and stretchers so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
[In ancient culture, the shadow represented the person. The people acted on their faith. Although the text does not say that they were healed in this way, the next verse suggests it. It was not the method and the shadow that healed, but faith in Jesus! Throughout the Bible, there are many examples where something physical has represented faith: a staff, Ex. 4:17; a bronze serpent, Num. 21:9; salt, 2 Kings 2:19–21; a stick, 2 Kings 6:4–7; clothing, Acts 19:11–12. There is always a risk that the focus will shift from God to the tool He uses. One example is the bronze serpent, which was a blessing but became an idol in later generations, see 2 Kings 18:4.]
