(7)Now it came to pass at the distance of about three hours, his wife also, not knowing what had passed, came in. (8)And Peter addressed her, Tell me, if ye sold the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much. (9)Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? see, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. (10)Then she fell instantly at his feet, and expired: and the young men entering, found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her with her husband. (11)And great awe fell on all the Church, and on all who heard these things. (12)But by the hands of the apostles were many signs and miracles done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in the portico of Solomon. (13)But of the rest no man had the courage to unite himself with them: though the people extolled them. (14)But believers on the Lord were abundantly added to them, multitudes, both of men and women.) (15)Insomuch that they carried out into the streets the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter was coming by, if but even his shadow might pass over some of them. (16)Then came together also a multitude from the neighbouring cities to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those who were disturbed by unclean spirits; who were healed universally. (17)Then arose the high-priest, and all those who were connected with him, (which was the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with zeal, (18)and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. (19)But the angel of the Lord by night opened the doors of the prison, and conducting them forth, said, (20)Go, and taking your station in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this life. (21)Having heard this therefore, they entered very early in the morning into the temple, and taught. But when the high-priest came, and those who were with him, they convoked the sanhedrim, and all the assembly of elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring them. (22)But the officers, on their arrival, found them not in the prison: and returning, informed them, (23)saying; The prison indeed found we fast locked with all security, and the guards standing without, before the door: but when we opened it, we found no person within.
