Acts 5:9 Context
7And it was about the space of three houres after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8And Peter answered vnto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she saide, Yea, for so much. 9Then Peter saide vnto her, How is it that ye haue agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feete of them which haue buried thy husband, are at the doore, and shall cary thee out. 10Then fell she downe straightway at his feete, and yeelded vp the ghost: And the yong men came in, and found her dead, and carying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11And great feare came vpon all the Church, and vpon as many as heard these things.
