Acts 5:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 5:11

9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together ^ato test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

10 ^aThen immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband.

11 ^aSo great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.

Continuing Power in the Church

12 And ^athrough the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. ^bAnd they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.

13 Yet ^anone of the rest dared join them, ^bbut the people esteemed them highly.

14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, ^athat at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.
