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 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”

9 “How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

10 At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.

12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
