Acts 5:8-18

8 And Peter responded to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land ¹for such and such a price?" And she said, "Yes, that was the price."

9 Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to ²put ³the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well."

10 And immediately she ⁴fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11 And ⁵great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things.

12 At the hands of the apostles many ⁶signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in ⁷Solomon's portico.

13 But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, ⁸the people held them in high esteem.

14 And all the more ⁹believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly ¹⁰added to their number,

15 to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by ¹¹at least his shadow might fall on any one of them.

16 Also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.

Imprisonment and Release

17 But the high priest rose up, along with all his associates (that is ¹²the sect of ¹³the Sadducees ), and they were filled with jealousy.

18 They laid hands on the apostles and ¹⁴put them in a public jail.
