Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold property,
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 and kept back from the price, his wife also having joint awareness. And having brought a certain part, he placed it at the apostles' feet.
And kept back [part] of the price, (his wife also being privy [to it] ) and brought a certain part, and laid [it] at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back from the price of the land?
But Peter said, Ananias, Why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
4 While it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, it was in thine authority. Why is it that thou have placed this matter in thy heart? Thou have not lied to men, but to God.
While it remained, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words, after falling down he expired. And great fear developed in all who heard these things.
And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 And after rising the young men wrapped him, and having carried him out they buried him.
And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried [him].
7 And it came to pass after an interval of three hours, his wife also came in, not knowing that which happened.
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter responded to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
9 But Peter said to her, How is it that it was agreed by you to challenge the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
Then Peter said to her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 And immediately she fell down at his feet and expired. And after coming in the young men found her dead, and having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in, and found her dead, and carrying [her] forth, buried [her] by her husband.
11 And great fear developed in the whole church, and in all who heard these things.
And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
12 And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders happened among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 But of the rest no man dared join them, but the people magnified them.
And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
14 And more who believe were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,
And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15 so as to bring the feeble to the thoroughfares, and to place them on cots and mats, so that while coming, the shadow of Peter might at the least overshadow some of them.
So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid [them] on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 And also the populace of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem bringing the feeble, and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
There came also a multitude [out] of the cities around to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons, and them who were afflicted with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
17 But after rising up, the high priest and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees) were filled of envy.
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him; (which is the sect of the Sadducees) and were filled with indignation,
18 And they threw their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 But an agent of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and after leading them out, he said,
But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20 Go ye, and after standing in the temple, speak to the people all the sayings of this Life.
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 And having heard, they entered into the temple at early morning, and taught. But the high priest having arrived, and those with him, they called the council together, and all the senate of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the prison for them to be brought.
And when they heard [that], they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 But the subordinates who came did not find them in the prison. And having returned, they reported,
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
23 saying, We found the prison indeed shut in all security, and the guards standing before the doors, but after opening, we found no man inside.
Saying, The prison truly we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Now when they heard these words, the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests, were perplexed about them, whatever this would become.
Now when the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them to what this would grow.
25 But a certain man who arrived, reported to them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Then after departing, the captain with the subordinates brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they would be stoned.
Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
27 And having brought them, they placed them in the council. And the high priest demanded them,
And when they had brought them, they set [them] before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 saying, Did we not command by an order for you not to teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem of your doctrine, and intend to bring upon us this man's blood.
Saying, Did we not strictly command you, that ye should not teach in this name? and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
29 And Peter and the apostles having answered, they said, We must obey God rather than men.
Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye murdered, having hung on a tree.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree:
31 God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.
And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 And when they heard this, they were as being split with a saw, and wanted to annihilate them.
When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them.
34 But after standing up in the council, a certain Pharisee named Gamaliel, a law teacher, esteemed by all the people, commanded to make the apostles be outside a little while.
Then stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little time.
35 And he said to them, Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves what ye are going to do against these men.
And said to them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do concerning these men:
36 For before these days Theudas rose up saying himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, bonded themselves, who was killed. And all, as many as were persuaded by him, were dispersed and developed into nothing.
For before these days rose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to naught.
37 After this man Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the registration, and drew a considerable crowd behind him. That man was also destroyed, and all, as many as were persuaded by him, were scattered.
After this man rose Judas of Galilee, in the days of the taxing, and drew away many people after him: he also perished; and all, [even] as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them go, because if the project or this work is from men, it will be overthrown,
And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work is from men, it will come to naught:
39 but if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it, and perhaps ye may be found to be fighting against God.
But if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
40 And they were persuaded by him. And after summoning the apostles, having beat them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
And to him they assented: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Indeed therefore they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to be treated shamefully for the name of Jesus.
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching good news, Jesus, the Christ.
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
