Acts 5
1 But a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession,
2 and put aside for himself part of the price, [his] wife also being privy to it; and having brought a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
And kept away part of the price, his wife also being of counsell, and brought a certaine part, and layde it downe at the Apostles feete.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldest lie to the Holy Spirit, and put aside for thyself a part of the price of the estate?
Then saide Peter, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart, that thou shouldest lye vnto the holy Ghost, and keepe away part of the price of this possession?
4 While it remained did it not remain to thee? and sold, was [it not] in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
Whiles it remained, appertained it not vnto thee? and after it was solde, was it not in thine owne power? howe is it that thou hast conceiued this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God.
5 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard [it].
Now when Ananias heard these wordes, he fell downe, and gaue vp the ghost. Then great feare came on all them that heard these things.
6 And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him.
And the yong men rose vp, and tooke him vp, and caried him out, and buried him.
7 And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
And it came to passe about the space of three houres after, that his wife came in, ignorant of that which was done.
8 And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
And Peter sayd vnto her, Tell me, solde ye the land for so much? And she sayd, Yea, for so much.
9 And Peter said to her, Why [is it] that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of [the] Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
Then Peter sayde vnto her, Why haue ye agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? beholde, the feete of them which haue buried thine husband, are at the doore, and shall carie thee out.
10 And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
Then she fell downe straightway at his feete, and yeelded vp the ghost: and the yong men came in, and found her dead, and caried her out, and buried her by her husband.
11 And great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.
And great feare came on all the Church, and on as many as heard these things.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch,
Thus by the hands of the Apostles were many signes and wonders shewed among the people (and they were all with one accorde in Salomons porche.
13 but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them;
And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.
14 and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women; )
Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)
15 so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put [them] on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them.
In so much that they brought the sicke into the streetes, and layd them on beds and couches, that at the least way the shadowe of Peter, when he came by, might shadow some of them.
16 And the multitude also of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons and persons beset by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about vnto Hierusalem, bringing sicke folkes, and them which were vexed with vncleane spirits, who were all healed.
17 And the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with wrath,
Then the chiefe Priest rose vp, and all they that were with him (which was the sect of the Sadduces) and were full of indignation,
18 and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.
And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 But an angel of [the] Lord during the night opened the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said,
But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd,
20 Go ye and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes of this life.
21 And when they heard it, they entered very early into the temple and taught. And when the high priest was come, and they that were with him, they called together the council and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
So when they heard it, they entred into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. And the chiefe Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the Councill together, and all the Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison, to cause them to be brought.
22 And when the officers were come, they did not find them in the prison; and returned and reported
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it,
23 saying, We found the prison shut with all security, and the keepers standing at the doors; but when we had opened [them], within we found no one.
Saying, Certainely we founde the prison shut as sure as was possible, and the keepers standing without, before the doores: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 And when they heard these words, both the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests were in perplexity as to them, what this would come to.
Then when the chiefe Priest, and the captaine of the Temple, and the hie Priestes heard these things, they doubted of them, whereunto this would growe.
25 And some one coming reported to them, Lo, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.
Then came one and shewed them, saying, Beholde, the men that ye put in prison, are standing in the Temple, and teach the people.
26 Then the captain, having gone with the officers, brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
Then went the captaine with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should haue bene stoned)
27 And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them,
And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe Priest asked them,
28 saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man.
Saying, Did not we straightly commaund you, that ye should not teach in this Name? and behold, ye haue filled Hierusale with your doctrine, and ye would bring this mans blood vpon vs.
29 But Peter answering, and the apostles, said, God must be obeyed rather than men.
Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.
30 The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom ye have slain, having hanged on a cross.
The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree.
31 Him has God exalted by his right hand as leader and saviour, to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
Him hath God lift vp with his right hand, to be a Prince and a Sauiour, to giue repentance to Israel, and forgiuenes of sinnes.
32 And we are [his] witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him.
And we are his witnesses concerning these things which we say: yea, and the holy Ghost, whome God hath giuen to them that obey him.
33 But they, when they heard [these things], were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them.
Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them.
34 But a certain [man], a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honour of all the people, rose up in the council, and commanded to put the men out for a short while,
Then stoode there vp in the Councill a certaine Pharise named Gamaliel, a doctour of the Lawe, honoured of all the people, and commanded to put the Apostles forth a litle space,
35 and said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as regards these men what ye are going to do;
And sayd vnto them, Men of Israel, take heede to your selues, what ye intende to doe touching these men.
36 for before these days Theudas rose up, alleging himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, were joined; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
For before these times, rose vp Theudas boasting himselfe, to whom resorted a number of men, about a foure hundreth, who was slaine: and they all which obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After him rose Judas the Galilean in the days of the census, and drew away [a number of] people after him; and he perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
After this man, arose vp Iudas of Galile, in the dayes of the tribute, and drewe away much people after him: hee also perished, and all that obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
38 And now I say to you, Withdraw from these men and let them alone, for if this counsel or this work have its origin from men, it will be destroyed;
And nowe I say vnto you, Refraine your selues from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsell, or this worke be of men, it will come to nought:
39 but if it be from God, ye will not be able to put them down, lest ye be found also fighters against God.
But if it be of God, ye can not destroy it, lest ye be found euen fighters against God.
40 And they listened to his advice; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and enjoined them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
And to him they agreed, and called the Apostles: and when they had beaten them, they commanded that they should not speake in the Name of Iesus, and let them goe.
41 They therefore went their way from [the] presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonoured for the name.
So they departed from the Councill, reioycing, that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his Name.
42 And every day, in the temple and in the houses, they ceased not teaching and announcing the glad tidings that Jesus [was] the Christ.
And dayly in the Temple, and from house to house they ceased not to teach, and preach Iesus Christ.
