New Testament

Acts 5:6-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. The young men came and wrapped him up, then carried him out and buried him.

7. After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, unaware of what had happened.

8. Peter said to her, “Tell me, did you sell the land for this amount?” She answered, “Yes, for that amount.”

9. Then Peter said to her, “Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen, the footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

10. At once, she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men entered they found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11. And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.
