Acts 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 5:10

Then fell she down straightway at his feet
In like manner, and by the same hand of God as her husband before:

and yielded up the ghost;
died directly:

and the young men came in and found her dead;
the young men who had been to inter her husband came into the house at that instant, and found her dead upon the floor, at the feet of the Apostle Peter:

and carrying her forth, buried her by her husband;
as it was usual with the Jews to do. So they say ^F9, that in the cave of Machpelah were buried Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, and Jacob and Leah.

Acts 5:10 In-Context

8 Peter asked her, "Tell me, did you and your husband receive this price for the field?" She responded, "Yes, that's the amount."

9 He replied, "How could you scheme with each other to challenge the Lord's Spirit? Look! The feet of those who buried your husband are at the door. They will carry you out too."

10 At that very moment, she dropped dead at his feet. When the young men entered and found her dead, they carried her out and buried her with her husband.

11 Trepidation and dread seized the whole church and all who heard what had happened.

12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. They would come together regularly at Solomon's Porch.
