Acts 5:8-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. And Peter said to her, "Tell me, woman, if you sold the field for this amount?" And she said, "Yes, for that amount."

9. And Peter said to her: "Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out!"

10. Immediately, she fell down before his feet and expired. Then the young men entered and found her dead. And they carried her out and buried her next to her husband.

11. And a great fear came over the entire Church and over all who heard these things.

12. And through the hands of the Apostles many signs and wonders were accomplished among the people. And they all met with one accord at Solomon's portico.

13. And among the others, no one dared to join himself to them. But the people magnified them.

14. Now the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord was ever increasing,

15. so much so that they laid the infirm in the streets, placing them on beds and stretchers, so that, as Peter arrived, at least his shadow might fall upon any one of them, and they would be freed from their infirmities.
