Acts 5:6–21

⁶And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him. ⁷And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. ⁸And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much. ⁹And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out. ¹⁰And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband. ¹¹And great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.

¹²And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch, ¹³but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them; ¹⁴and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;) ¹⁵so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them. ¹⁶And the multitude also of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons and persons beset by unclean spirits, who were all healed.

¹⁷And the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with wrath, ¹⁸and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison. ¹⁹But an angel of the Lord during the night opened the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said, ²⁰Go ye and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. ²¹And when they heard it, they entered very early into the temple and taught. And when the high priest was come, and they that were with him, they called together the council and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
