Acts 5:11 In-Context

9 Peter asked her, "How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! You can hear the steps of the men who buried your husband. They are at the door. They will carry you out also."

10 At that very moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in. They saw that Sapphira was dead. So they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11 The whole church and all who heard about these things were filled with fear.

12 The apostles did many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. All the believers used to meet together at Solomon's Porch.

13 No outsider dared to join them. But the people thought highly of them.
