Acts 5:7-11 King James Version (KJV)
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his
wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land
for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed
together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of
them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall
carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down 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.
Acts 5:7-11
NHEB 7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had
happened, came in. 8 Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you
sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much." 9 But
Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to
tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have
buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you
out." 10 She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The
young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out
and buried her by her husband. 11 Great fear came on the whole
church, and on all who heard these things.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
7 For his wife not to know what happened show that someone was
distracted whether her or the people, she should have known by
the time they were buried her husband but they did not.
8 She knew as well and she was just as guilty as her husband.
They both made the oath and both were responsible for keeping
it.
9 Peter knew that she would die too, she could have chosen to
bring the rest of the money after her husband died but she
choose just like her husband to keep a part of it even though
they had promised it to the Lord.
10 They buried her as well next to her husband, she was given
more time this may because she did what her husband said and
after his death she was given time to make things right herself
but she would not choose to.
11 A fear came when her husband died this may have been worse
since this was the second time that day it had happened, trouble
often times is worse so when it happens within a close time
frame. Often times it takes multiple things at once to bring us
to fear or cause us to worry or break but when we do the Lord is
always there for us.
