Acts 5:9

JesusSimon
SinJudgmentThe Holy Spirit

7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.

8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”

“How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

10 At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
