Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,
A certayne man named Ananias with Saphira his wyfe solde a possession
2 And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
and kepte awaye parte of the pryce (his wyfe also beynge of counsell) and brought a certayne parte and layde it doune at the Apostles fete.
3 But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land?
Then sayde Peter: Ananias how is it that Satan hath filled thyne hert that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost and kepe awaye parte of the pryce of the lyvelod:
4 Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
Pertayned it not vnto the only and after it was solde was not the pryce in thyne awne power? How is it that thou hast coceaved this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lyed vnto men but vnto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.
When Ananias herde these wordes. he fell doune and gave vp the goost. And great feare came on all the that these thinges hearde.
6 And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.
And the yonge men roose vp and put him a parte and caryed him out and buryed him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
And it fortuned as it were aboute the space of. iii. houres after that his wyfe came in ignoraunt of that which was done.
8 And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.
And Peter sayde vnto her: Tell me gave ye the londe for so moche? And she sayde: ye for so moche
9 And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
Then Peter sayde vnto her: why have ye agreed to gether to tept the sprete of the Lorde? Beholde the fete of them which have buryed thy husbande are at the dore and shall cary the out.
10 Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
Then she fell doune strayght waye at his fete and yelded vp the goost. And the yonge men came in and founde her ded and caryed her out and buryed her by her husbande.
11 And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
And great feare came on all the congregacion and on as many as hearde it.
12 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.
By the hondes of the Apostles were many signes and wondres shewed amoge the people. And they were all together with one acorde in Salomons porche.
13 But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.
And of other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neverthelater the people magnyfied them.
14 And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:
The noumbre of them that beleved in the Lorde bothe of men and wemen grewe moare and moare:
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.
in so moche that they brought the sicke into the strettes and layde them on beddes and palettes that at the lest waye the shadowe of Peter when he came by myght shadowe some of them.
16 And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighboring cities, bringing sick persons, and such as were troubled with unclean spirits; who were all healed.
There came also a multitude out of ye cities roud about vnto Ierusalem bringynge sicke folkes and them which were vexed with vnclene spretes. And they were healed every one.
17 Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees, ) were filled with envy.
Then ye chefe preste rose vp and all they that were with him (which is the secte of the Saduces) and were full of indignacion
18 And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
and layde hondes on the Apostles and put them in the comen preson.
19 But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:
But the angell of the Lorde by nyght openned the preson dores and brought them forthe and sayde:
20 Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
goo steppe forthe and speake in the temple to the people all the wordes of this lyfe.
21 Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.
When they hearde that they entred into the temple erly in the morninge and taught. The chefe prest came and they that were with him and called a counsell to gedder and all the elders of the chyldren of Israel and sent to the preson to fet them.
22 But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,
When the ministres came and founde them not in the preson they returned and tolde
23 Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.
sayinge: the preson founde we shut as sure as was possible and the kepers stondynge with out before ye dores. But whe we had opened we founde no man with in.
24 Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.
When the chefe prest of all and the ruler of the temple and the hye prestes hearde these thinges they douted of them whervnto this wolde growe.
25 But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.
Then came one and shewed them: beholde ye men yt ye put in preson stonde in the teple and teache the people.
26 Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
Then went the ruler of the teple with ministers and brought the with out violence. For they feared the people lest they shuld have bene stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
And when they had brought them they set them before the counsell. And ye chefe preste axed the
28 Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
sayinge: dyd not we straytely comaunde you that ye shuld not teache in this name? And beholde ye have filled Ierusalem with youre doctrine and ye intende to brynge this mans bloud vpon vs.
29 But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
Peter and the other Apostles answered and sayde: We ought moare to obey God then men.
30 The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
The God of oure fathers raysed vp Ie Iesus whom ye slewe and hanged on tre.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Him hath god lifte vp with his right hand to be a ruler and a savioure for to geve repetauce to Israell and forgevenes of synnes.
32 And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.
And we are his recordes concernynge these thinges and also the holy goost whom God hath geve to them yt obey him.
33 When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.
When they hearde yt they clave asunder: and sought meanes to slee them.
34 But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.
Then stode ther vp one in ye counsell a Pharisey named Gamaliel a doctoure of lawe had in auctorite amoge all the people and commaunded to put the Apostles a syde a lytell space
35 And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.
and sayde vnto them: Men of Israel take hede to youre selves what ye entende to do as touchinge these men
36 For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.
Before these dayes rose vp one Theudas bostinge him selfe to whom resorted a nombre of men about a foure hondred which was slayn and they all which beleved him were scatred a broode and brought to nought.
37 After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.
After this man arose ther vp one Iudas of Galile in the tyme when tribute began and drewe awaye moche people after him. He also perisshed: and all even as many as harkened to him are scattered a brood.
38 And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
And now I saye vnto you: refrayne youre selves from these men let them alone. For yf ye cousell or this worke be of men it will come to nought.
39 But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.
But and yf it be of God ye can not destroye it lest haply ye be founde to stryve agaynst God.
40 And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.
And to him they agreed and called the Apostles and bet them and comaunded that they shuld not speake in ye name of Iesu and let them goo.
41 And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.
And they departed from the counsell reioysynge yt they were counted worthy to soffre rebuke for his name.
42 And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.
And dayly in the teple and in every housse they ceased not teachinge and preachinge Iesus Christ.
