Acts 5
1ButG1161 a certainG5100 manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367, withG4862 SapphiraG4551 hisG846 wifeG3588G1135, soldG4453 a possessionG2933, 2AndG2532 kept backG3557 part ofG575 the priceG3588G5092, hisG846 wifeG3588G1135 alsoG2532 being privyG4894 to it, andG2532 broughtG5342 a certainG5100 partG3313, and laidG5087 it atG3844 the apostles’G3588G652 feetG3588G4228. 3ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG3004, AnaniasG367, whyG5101 hathG4137 SatanG3588G4567 filledG4137 thineG4771 heartG3588G2588 to lieG5574 to theG3588G4151 HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151, andG2532 to keep backG3557 part ofG575 the priceG3588G5092 of the landG3588G5564? 4Whiles it remainedG3306, was itG3306 notG3780 thine ownG4771? andG2532 after it was soldG4097, was itG5225 notG3780 inG1722 thine ownG4674 powerG1849? whyG5101 hast thou conceivedG5087 thisG3778 thingG3588G4229 inG1722 thineG4771 heartG3588G2588? thou hastG5574 notG3756 liedG5574 unto menG444, butG235 unto GodG3588G2316. 5AndG1161 AnaniasG367 hearingG191 theseG3778 wordsG3588G3056 fell downG4098, and gave up the ghostG1634: andG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 cameG1096 onG1909 allG3956 themG191 thatG3588 heardG191 these thingsG3778. 6AndG1161 the young menG3501 aroseG450, woundG4958 himG846 upG4958, andG2532 carriedG1627 him outG1627, andG2532 buriedG2290 him. 7AndG1161 it wasG1096 aboutG5613 the spaceG1292 of threeG5140 hoursG5610 after, when hisG846 wifeG3588G1135, notG3361 knowingG1492 whatG3588 was doneG1096, came inG1525. 8AndG1161 PeterG3588G4074 answeredG611 unto herG846, TellG3004 meG1473 whetherG1487 ye soldG591 the landG3588G5564 for so muchG5118? AndG1161 she saidG3004, YeaG3483, for so muchG5118. 9ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG3004 untoG4314 herG846, How is itG5101 thatG3754 yeG4771 have agreed togetherG4856 to temptG3985 the SpiritG3588G4151 of the LordG2962? beholdG3708, the feetG3588G4228 of themG3588 which have buriedG2290 thyG4771 husbandG3588G435 are atG1909 the doorG3588G2374, andG2532 shall carryG1627 theeG4771 outG1627. 10ThenG1161 fell she downG4098 straightwayG3916 atG3844 hisG846 feetG3588G4228, andG2532 yielded up the ghostG1634: andG1161 the young menG3588G3495 came inG1525, andG1161 foundG2147 herG846 deadG3498, andG2532, carryingG1627 her forthG1627, buriedG2290 her byG4314 herG846 husbandG3588G435. 11AndG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 cameG1096 uponG1909 allG3650 the AssemblyG3588G1577, andG2532 uponG1909 as many asG3956 heardG191 these thingsG3778.
12AndG1161 byG1223 the handsG3588G5495 of the apostlesG3588G652 wereG1096 manyG4183 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 wrought amongG1722 the peopleG3588G2992; (andG2532 they wereG1510 allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1722 Solomon’sG4672 porchG3588G4745. 13AndG1161 of the restG3062 durstG5111 no manG3762 join himselfG2853 to themG846: butG235 the peopleG3588G2992 magnifiedG3170 themG846. 14AndG1161 believersG4100 wereG4369 the moreG3123 addedG4369 to the LordG3588G2962, multitudesG4128 bothG5037 of menG435 andG2532 womenG1135.) 15Insomuch thatG5620 they brought forthG1627 the sickG772 into the streetsG3588G4113, andG2532 laidG5087 them onG1909 bedsG2825 andG2532 couchesG2895, thatG2443 at the leastG2579 the shadowG3588G4639 of PeterG4074 passing byG2064 might overshadowG1982 someG5100 of themG846. 16There cameG4905 alsoG1161 a multitudeG3588G4128 out of the citiesG4172 round aboutG4038 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419, bringingG5342 sick folksG772, andG2532 themG3791 whichG3748 were vexedG3791 withG5259 uncleanG169 spiritsG4151: and they were healedG2323 every oneG537.
17ThenG1161 the high priestG3588G749 rose upG450, andG2532 allG3956 they that wereG3588 withG4862 himG846, (which isG1510 the sectG139 of the SadduceesG3588G4523,) and were filledG4130 with indignationG2205, 18AndG2532 laidG1911 theirG846 handsG3588G5495 onG1909 the apostlesG3588G652, andG2532 putG5087 themG846 inG1722 the commonG1219 prisonG5084. 19ButG1161 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 byG1223 nightG3588G3571 openedG455 the prisonG3588G5438 doorsG3588G2374, andG5037 broughtG1806 themG846 forthG1806, and saidG3004, 20GoG4198, standG2476 andG2532 speakG2980 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411 to the peopleG3588G2992 allG3956 the wordsG3588G4487 ofG3588G2222 thisG3778 lifeG3588G2222. 21AndG1161 when they heardG191 that, they enteredG1525 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411 early in the morningG3588G3722, andG2532 taughtG1321. ButG1161 the high priestG3588G749 cameG3854, andG2532 they that wereG3588 withG4862 himG846, andG2532 calledG4779 the SanhedrinG3588G4892 togetherG4779, andG2532 allG3956 the senateG3588G1087 of the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 sentG649 toG1519 the prisonG3588G1201 to haveG71 themG846 broughtG71. 22ButG1161 whenG3854 the officersG5257 cameG3854, andG1161 foundG2147 themG846 notG3756 inG1722 the prisonG3588G5438, they returnedG390, andG1161 toldG518, 23SayingG3004, The prisonG1201 trulyG3303 found weG2147 shutG2808 withG1722 allG3956 safetyG803, andG2532 the keepersG3588G5441 standingG2476 withoutG1854 beforeG4253 the doorsG3588G2374: butG1161 when we had openedG455, we foundG2147 no manG3762 withinG2080. 24NowG1161 whenG5613 the high priestG2409 andG2532 the captainG3588G4755 of the templeG3588G2411 andG2532 the chief priestsG3588G749 heardG191 theseG3778 thingsG3588G3056, they doubtedG1280 ofG4012 themG846 whereuntoG302 thisG3778 would growG1096. 25ThenG1161 cameG3854 oneG5100 andG1161 toldG518 themG846, sayingG3004, BeholdG3708, the menG3588G435 whomG3739 ye putG5087 inG1722 prisonG3588G5438 areG1510 standingG2476 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, andG2532 teachingG1321 the peopleG3588G2992. 26ThenG5119 wentG565 the captainG3588G4755 withG4862 the officersG3588G5257, andG5119 broughtG71 themG846 withoutG3326 violenceG970: forG1063 they fearedG5399 the peopleG3588G2992, lestG3361 they should have been stonedG3034. 27AndG1161 when they had broughtG71 themG846, they setG2476 them beforeG1722 the councilG3588G4892: andG2532 the high priestG3588G749 askedG1905 themG846, 28SayingG3004, Did notG3756 weG3853 straitlyG3852 commandG3853 youG4771 that ye shouldG1321 notG3361 teachG1321 inG1909 thisG3778 nameG3588G3686? andG2532, beholdG3708, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 withG3588G1322 yourG4771 doctrineG3588G1322, andG2532 intendG1014 to bringG1863 thisG3778 man’sG3588G444 bloodG3588G129 uponG1909 usG1473.
29ThenG1161 PeterG3588G4074 andG2532 theG3588G652 other apostlesG3588G652 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, WeG3980 oughtG1163 to obeyG3980 GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444. 30The GodG3588G2316 ofG3588G3962 ourG1473 fathersG3588G3962 raised upG1453 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG4771 slewG1315 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586. 31HimG3778 hathG5312 GodG3588G2316 exaltedG5312 withG1188 hisG846 right handG1188 to be a PrinceG747 andG2532 a SaviourG4990, for to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, andG2532 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266. 32AndG2532 weG1473 areG1510 hisG846 witnessesG3144 ofG3588G4487 theseG3778 thingsG3588G4487; andG2532 so is alsoG1161 theG3588G4151 HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151, whomG3739 GodG3588G2316 hath givenG1325 to themG3980 thatG3588 obeyG3980 himG846. 33
WhenG1161 they heardG191 that, they were cutG1282 to the heart, andG2532 took counselG1011 to slayG337 themG846. 34ThenG1161 stood there upG450 oneG5100 inG1722 the councilG3588G4892, a PhariseeG5330, namedG3686 GamalielG1059, a doctor of the lawG3547, had in reputationG5093 amongG3588G2992 allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992, and commandedG2753 to putG4160 the apostlesG3588G652 forthG1854 a little spaceG1024; 35AndG5037 saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, take heedG4337 to yourselvesG1438 whatG5101 ye intendG3195 to doG4238 as touchingG1909 theseG3778 menG3588G444. 36ForG1063 beforeG4253 theseG3778 daysG3588G2250 rose upG450 TheudasG2333, boastingG3004 himselfG1438 to beG1510 somebodyG5100; to whomG3739 a numberG706 of menG435, aboutG5616 four hundredG5071, joined themselvesG4347: whoG3739 was slainG337; andG2532 allG3956, as many asG3745 obeyedG3982 himG846, were scatteredG1262, andG2532 broughtG1096 toG1519 noughtG3762. 37AfterG3326 thisG3778 man rose upG450 JudasG2455 of GalileeG3588G1057 inG1722 the daysG3588G2250 of the taxingG3588G582, andG2532 drew awayG868 muchG2425 peopleG2992 afterG3694 himG846: he alsoG2548 perishedG622; andG2532 allG3956, even as many asG3745 obeyedG3982 himG846, were dispersedG1287. 38AndG2532 nowG3568 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, RefrainG868 fromG575 theseG3778 menG3588G444, andG2532 letG1439 themG846 aloneG1439: forG3754 ifG1437 thisG3778 counselG3588G1012 orG2228 thisG3778 workG3588G2041 beG1510 ofG1537 menG444, it will come to noughtG2647: 39ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG1510 ofG1537 GodG2316, ye cannotG3756G1410 overthrowG2647 itG846; lest haplyG3379 ye be foundG2147 evenG2532 to fight against GodG2314. 40AndG1161 to himG846 they agreedG3982: andG2532 when they had calledG4341 the apostlesG3588G652, andG2532 beatenG1194 them, they commandedG3853 that they shouldG2980 notG3361 speakG2980 inG1909 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 letG630 themG846 goG630. 41
AndG3767 they departedG4198 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the councilG3588G4892, rejoicingG5463 thatG3754 they were counted worthyG2661 to suffer shameG818 forG5228 hisG846 nameG3588G3686. 42AndG5037 dailyG2250 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, andG2532 inG2596 everyG3956 houseG3624, they ceasedG3973 notG3756 to teachG1321 andG2532 preachG2097 JesusG2424 ChristG3588G5547.
