Acts 5

1But a certainG5100 manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367, with Sapphira his wifeG1135, soldG4453 a possession, 2and kept backG3557 partG3313 of the priceG5092, his wifeG1135 alsoG2532 being privy to it, and broughtG5342 a certainG5100 partG3313, and laidG5087 it at the apostles’G652 feetG4228. 3But PeterG4074 saidG3004, AnaniasG367, whyG5101 hath SatanG4567 filledG4137 thy heartG2588 to lieG5574 to the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, and to keep backG3557 part of the priceG5092 of the landG5564? 4While it remainedG3306, did it not remainG3306 thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy powerG1849? How is it that thou hast conceived this thingG3778 in thy heartG2588? thou hast not liedG5574 unto menG444, but unto GodG2316. 5And AnaniasG367 hearingG191 these wordsG3056 fellG4098 downG4098 and gave up the ghost: and greatG3173 fearG5401 cameG1096 upon all that heardG191 it. 6And the young men aroseG450 and wrapped him round, and they carriedG1627 him out and buriedG2290 him.

7And it was about the space of threeG5140 hoursG5610 after, whenG5613 his wifeG1135, not knowing what was done, cameG1096 in. 8And PeterG4074 answeredG611 unto her, TellG3004 me whether ye sold the landG5564 for so muchG5118. And she saidG3004, Yea, for so muchG5118. 9But PeterG4074 said unto her, How is it that ye have agreedG4856 together to try the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962? beholdG2400, the feetG4228 of them that have buriedG2290 thy husbandG435 are at the doorG2374, and they shall carryG1627 thee out. 10And she fellG4098 downG4098 immediatelyG3916 at his feetG4228, and gave up the ghost: and the youngG3495 menG435 cameG1525 in and foundG2147 her deadG3498, and they carriedG1627 her out and buriedG2290 her by her husbandG435. 11And greatG3173 fearG5401 cameG1096 upon the wholeG3650 churchG1577, and upon all that heardG191 these thingsG3778.

12And by the handsG5495 of the apostlesG652 wereG1510 manyG4183 signsG4592 and wondersG5059 wrought among the peopleG2992: and they wereG1510 all with oneG3661 accordG3661 in Solomon’s porch. 13But of the restG3062 durst no man joinG2853 himself to them: howbeit the peopleG2992 magnifiedG3170 them; 14and believers were the moreG3123 addedG4369 to the LordG2962, multitudesG4128 both of menG435 and womenG1135: 15insomuch that they evenG2532 carriedG1627 out the sickG772 into the streets, and laidG5087 them on beds and couches, that, as PeterG4074 cameG2064 by, at the least his shadowG4639 might overshadowG1982 some oneG5100 of them. 16And there alsoG2532 cameG4905 togetherG4905 the multitudeG4128 from the citiesG4172 round about JerusalemG2419, bringingG5342 sickG772 folk, and them that were vexed with uncleanG169 spiritsG4151: and they were healedG2323 every oneG3588.

17But the highG749 priestG749 roseG450 up, and all they that wereG1510 with him (which isG1510 the sectG139 of the SadduceesG4523), and they wereG1510 filledG4130 with jealousyG2205, 18and laidG5087 handsG5495 on the apostlesG652, and putG5087 them in public ward. 19But an angelG32 of the LordG2962 by nightG3571 openedG455 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374, and brought them out, and saidG3004, 20GoG4198 ye, and standG2476 and speakG2980 in the temple to the peopleG2992 all the words of this LifeG2222. 21And when they heardG191 this, they enteredG1525 into the temple about daybreak, and taughtG1321. But the highG749 priestG749 cameG3854, and they that were with him, and calledG4779 the councilG4892 togetherG4779, and all the senate of the children of IsraelG2474, and sentG649 to the prison-house to have them broughtG71. 22But the officersG5257 that cameG3854 foundG2147 them not in the prisonG5438; and they returned, and toldG518, 23sayingG3004, The prison-house we foundG2147 shutG2808 in all safety, and the keepers standingG2476 at the doorsG2374: but when we had openedG455, we foundG2147 no man within. 24NowG1161 whenG5613 the captainG4755 of the temple and the chiefG749 priestsG749 heardG191 these wordsG3056, they were much perplexedG1280 concerningG4012 them whereunto this would grow. 25And there cameG3854 oneG5100 and toldG518 them, BeholdG2400, the menG435 whom ye putG5087 in the prisonG5438 areG1510 in the temple standingG2476 and teachingG1321 the peopleG2992. 26ThenG5119 wentG565 the captainG4755 with the officersG5257, and broughtG71 them, but without violenceG970; for they fearedG5399 the peopleG2992, lestG3361 they should be stonedG3034. 27And when they had broughtG71 them, they setG2476 them before the councilG4892. And the highG749 priestG749 askedG1905 them, 28sayingG3004, We strictly charged you not to teachG1321 in this nameG3686: and beholdG2400, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 with your teachingG1321, and intendG1014 to bring this man’sG444 bloodG129 upon us. 29But PeterG4074 and the apostlesG652 answeredG611 and saidG3004, We must obey GodG2316 ratherG3123 than menG444. 30The GodG2316 of our fathersG3962 raisedG1453 up JesusG2424, whom ye slew, hangingG2910 him on a treeG3586. 31Him did GodG2316 exaltG5312 with his rightG1188 handG1188 to be a Prince and a Saviour, to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, and remission of sinsG266. 32And we areG1510 witnessesG3144 of these thingsG3778; and so isG1510 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, whom GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to them that obey him.

33But they, when they heardG191 this, were cutG1282 to the heart, and were minded to slay them. 34But there stoodG450 up oneG5100 in the councilG4892, a PhariseeG5330, namedG3686 GamalielG1059, a doctor of the lawG3547, had in honor of all the peopleG2992, and commandedG2753 to put the menG444 forth a littleG1024 while. 35And he saidG3004 unto them, Ye menG444 of Israel, takeG4337 heed to yourselves as touching these menG444, what ye are about to do. 36For before these daysG2250 roseG450 up Theudas, giving himself out to beG1510 somebody; to whom a numberG706 of menG435, about fourG5071 hundredG5071, joined themselves: who wasG1510 slain; and all, as manyG3745 as obeyed him, wereG1510 dispersed, and cameG1096 to nought. 37After this manG3778 roseG450 up JudasG2455 of Galilee in the daysG2250 of the enrolment, and drew awayG868 some of the peopleG2992 after him: he alsoG2532 perishedG622; and all, as manyG3745 as obeyed him, were scatteredG1287 abroad. 38And nowG3568 I sayG3004 unto you, Refrain from these menG444, and let them aloneG863: for if this counselG1012 or this workG2041 beG1510 of menG444, it will beG1510 overthrown: 39but if it isG1510 of GodG2316, ye will not beG1510 ableG1410 to overthrow them; lest haply ye beG1510 foundG2147 evenG2532 to beG1510 fighting against GodG2316. 40And to him they agreed: and when they had calledG4341 the apostlesG652 unto them, they beatG1194 them and charged them not to speakG2980 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424, and let them goG630. 41They thereforeG3767 departedG4198 from the presenceG4383 of the councilG4892, rejoicingG5463 that they were counted worthyG2661 to suffer dishonorG818 for the NameG3686. 42And every dayG2250, in the temple and at homeG3624, they ceasedG3973 not to teachG1321 and to preach JesusG2424 as the ChristG5547.
