the feet of them who have buried
thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. (10)Then she
fell instantly at his feet, and expired: and the young men entering,
found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her with her husband.
(11)And great awe fell on all the Church, and on all who heard these
things.
(12)But by the hands of the apostles were many signs and miracles done
among the people; (and they were all with one accord in the portico of
Solomon. (13)But of the rest no man had the courage to unite himself
