"It was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 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. 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. And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things."

"Omtrent tre timer efter skete det, at hans hustru kom ind uden at vide, hvad der var foregået. Da sagde Peter til hende: "Sig mig, var det den pris, I solgte jorden for?" Og hun svarede: "Ja, det var." Da sagde Peter til hende: "Hvorfor er I dog blevet enige om at friste Herrens Ånd? Hør, uden for døren lyder fodtrinene af dem, der har begravet din mand; de skal også bære dig ud." I samme nu faldt hun om for hans fødder og udåndede. Da de unge mænd kom ind, fandt de hende død, og de bar hende ud og begravede hende ved siden af hendes mand. Og der kom stor frygt over hele menigheden og over alle, som hørte dette."
