Commentary on Acts 5:11

Theological / Devotional

Great fear. See on v. 5.

The church. With the exception of the doubtful reading in ch. 2:47, this is the first occurrence of the word in Acts. Its presence indicates a development in organization. See on Matt. 18:17. The startling death of Ananias and Sapphira would give a new significance to the society and its leaders.

As many as heard. These were outside of the church, but they heard of the power being exercised among its members.
