'Grow' in the Bible

Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

So the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem continued to grow rapidly. Even a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

But the word of God continued to grow and spread.

In this way the word of the Lord continued to grow in power and to prevail.
