which have buried thy husband
are
at the door, and shall carry thee out.

straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead,
and, carrying
her
forth, buried
her
by her husband.
11
And great fear came upon all the church, and
upon as many as heard these things.
12
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people;
(and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13
And of the rest durst no man join himself
to them: but the people magnified them.
14
And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes
both of men and women.)
15
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid
them
on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some

There came also a multitude
out
of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick
folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the
Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

them forth, and said,
20
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21
And when they heard
that,
they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the
high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate
of the children of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22
But when the officers came,
and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
23

they were cut
to the heart,
and took counsel to slay them.
