Deeds (Act) of Apostles 5:9-29

⁹And Peter said to her, What befelled to you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thine husband be at the door, and they shall bear thee out.

¹⁰Anon she felled down at his feet, and died. And the young men entered, and found her dead, and they bare her out, and buried her to her husband.

¹¹And great dread was made in all the church, and into all that heard these things.

¹²And by the hands of the apostles signs and many wonders were made in the people. And all were of one accord in the porch of Solomon.

¹³But no man of others durst join himself with them, but the people magnified them.

¹⁴And the multitude of men and of women believing in the Lord was more increased,

¹⁵so that they brought out sick men into streets, and laid in little beds and couches, that when Peter came, namely the shadow of him should shadow each of them, and they should be or were delivered from all their sicknesses.

¹⁶And the multitude of cities nigh to Jerusalem ran, bringing sick men, and that were travailed of unclean spirits, which all were healed.

¹⁷But the prince of priests rose up, and all that were with him, that is the heresy of Sadducees, and were filled with envy;

¹⁸and they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common ward or the common keeping.

¹⁹But the angel of the Lord opened by night the gates of the prison, and led them out, and said,

²⁰Go ye, and stand ye, and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

²¹Whom when they had heard, they entered early into the temple, and taught. And the prince of priests came, and they that were with him, and called together the council, and all the elder men of the children of Israel; and sent to the prison, that they should be brought forth.

²²And when the ministers came, and found them not, and for the prison was opened, or Soothly when the ministers came, and, the prison opened, found them not, they turned again and told,

²³and said, We found the prison shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing at the gates; but we opened, and found no man therein.

²⁴And as the magistrates of the temple, and the princes of priests heard these words, they doubted of them, what was done.

²⁵But a man came, and told to them, For lo! those men which ye have put into prison, be in the temple, and stand, and teach the people.

²⁶Then the magistrate went with the ministers, and brought them with-out violence; for they dreaded the people, lest they should be stoned.

²⁷And when they had brought them, they set them in the council; and the prince of priests asked them,

²⁸and said, In commandment we commanded you, that ye should not teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye will bring on us the blood of this man.

²⁹And Peter answered, and the apostles, and said, It behooveth to obey to God, more than to men.
