husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. (10)And immediately
she fell at his feet, and expired; and coming in, the young men found
her dead, and carried her forth, and buried her by her husband.
(11)And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that 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)But of the rest no one dared to join himself to
them; but the people honored them; (14)(and still more were believers
