005:010 She fell down immediately at his feet, and died.
The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried
her out and buried her by her husband.
005:011 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who
heard these things.
005:012 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among
the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
005:013 None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
005:014 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both
men and women.
005:015 They even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid
them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by,
at the least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
005:016 Multitudes also came together from the cities around Jerusalem,
bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by
unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
005:017 But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him
(which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were
filled with jealousy,
005:018 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
005:019 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night,
and brought them out, and said,
005:020 "Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words
of this life."
005:021 When they heard this, they entered into the temple
about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came,
and those who were with him, and called the council together,

to the prison to have them brought.
005:022 But the officers who came didn't find them in the prison.
They returned and reported,
005:023 "We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing
before the doors, but when we opened them, we found
no one inside!"
005:024 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief
priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them
and what might become of this.
005:025 One came and told them, "Behold, the men whom you put in prison
are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
005:026 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them
without violence, for they were afraid that the people
might stone them.
005:027 When they had brought them, they set them before the council.
The high priest questioned them,
005:028 saying, "Didn't we strictly charge you not to teach in this name?
Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching,
and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
005:029 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God
rather than men.
005:030 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed,
