Context of Acts 5:11
9Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.” 10And immediately she collapsed at his feet and died; and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard about these things. 12At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all together in Solomon’s portico. 13But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem.
