4While it remained unsold was it not yours, and once sold was it not in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You did not lie to men but to God.”
5Well upon hearing these words Ananias fell down and expired! (Great fear came on all who heard these things.)
6So the young men got up and wrapped him, and carrying him out they buried him.
7Now after an interval of some three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8So Peter addressed her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” So she said, “Yes, for so much.”
9Peter said to her: “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”
10So she immediately fell down at his feet and expired! So upon entering the young men found her dead, and carrying her out they buried her beside her husband.
11So great fear came on the whole assembly and on all who heard these things.
12Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all in Solomon's Porch with one purpose.
13None of the rest dared to join them, but the people were magnifying them.
14Believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
15to the point that they kept carrying the sick into the streets, placing them on cots and pallets, so that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
