⁶So the young men stood up, wrapped him up, and carried him^* out and^* buried him.^* ⁷And it happened that there was an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. ⁸And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you both^* were paid this much for the piece of land.” And she said, “Yes, this much.” ⁹So Peter said to her, “How is it that it was agreed by you two^* to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!” ¹⁰And immediately she fell down at his feet and died. So when^* the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her^* out and^* buried her^* with her husband. ¹¹And great fear came on the whole church and on all who heard about these things.

Many Signs and Wonders Are Performed by the Apostles

¹²Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people through the hands of the apostles. And they were all together^b in Solomon’s Portico. ¹³And none of the rest dared to join them, but the people spoke highly of them. ¹⁴And even more believers in the Lord^c were being added, large numbers of both men and women, ¹⁵so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and put them^* on cots and mats^d so that when^* Peter came by, at least his^* shadow would fall on some of them. ¹⁶And the people of the towns around Jerusalem also came together, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all being healed.

The Apostles Arrested and Imprisoned

¹⁷Now the high priest rose up and all those who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and^* they were filled with jealousy. ¹⁸And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison. ¹⁹But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison and led them out and^* said, ²⁰“Go and stand in the temple courts^* and^* proclaim to the people all the words of this life.” ²¹And when they^* heard this,^* they entered at daybreak into the temple courts^* and began teaching.^*

Now when^* the high priest and those with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin—even the whole council of elders of the sons of Israel—and sent to the prison to have them brought.
