< Acts 5 >
1 But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession,
A man now certain Ananias named with Sapphira the wife of him sold a property
2 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.
and he kept back from the proceeds, already being aware also the wife (of him, *k*) and having brought a portion certain at the feet of the apostles he laid [it].
3 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?
Said however (*no*) Peter; Ananias, because of why has filled Satan the heart of you to lie to [for] you the Spirit Holy and to keep back (yourself *o*) from the proceeds of the land?
4 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.
Surely remaining to you it was remaining And having been sold in the own authority it was? Why for did you purpose in the heart of you deed this? Not you have lied to men but to God!
5 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.
Hearing now Ananias words these having fallen down he breathed his last. And came fear great upon all those hearing (these things; *k*)
6 And the yong men rose vp, and tooke him vp, and caried him out, and buried him.
Having arisen then the younger [men] covered him and having carried [him] out they buried [him].
7 And it came to passe about the space of three houres after, that his wife came in, ignorant of that which was done.
It came to pass now about hours three afterward also the wife of him not knowing that having come to pass came in.
8 And Peter sayd vnto her, Tell me, solde ye the land for so much? And she sayd, Yea, for so much.
Replied then (to *no*) (her *N(k)O*) (*k*) Peter; do tell me if for so much the land you sold? And she said; Yes for so much.
9 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.
But Peter (said *k*) to her; Why [is it] for it was agreed together by you to test the Spirit of [the] Lord? Behold the feet of those having buried the husband of you [are] at the door and they will carry out you.
10 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.
She fell down then immediately (at *N(k)O*) the feet of him and breathed her last; Having come in then the young [men] found her dead, and having carried out they buried [her] by the husband of her;
11 And great feare came on all the Church, and on as many as heard these things.
And came fear great upon all the church and upon all those hearing these things.
12 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.
By now the hands of the apostles (were happening *N(k)O*) signs and wonders many among the people; And they were with one accord (all *NK(o)*) in the Colonnade of Solomon;
13 And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.
of the now rest no [one] was daring to join with them, but were magnifying them the people.
14 Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)
more now were added believing in the Lord, multitudes of men both and women,
15 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.
so as (even *no*) (into *N(k)O*) the streets to bring out the sick and to put [them] on (cots *N(k)O*) and mats, that when is coming Peter at least at least the shadow (shall envelop *NK(o)*) some of them.
16 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.
Were coming together now also the multitude from the surrounding cities (into *k*) Jerusalem bringing [the] sick and [those] being tormented by spirits unclean, who were healed all.
17 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,
Having risen up however the high priest and all those with him, which is being [the] sect of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy
18 And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison.
and they laid the hands (of them *k*) on the apostles and put them in [the] jail public.
19 But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd,
An angel however of [the] Lord during (the *k*) night (having opened *N(k)O*) the doors of the prison, having brought out then them said;
20 Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes of this life.
do go and having stood do speak in the temple to the people all the declarations of the life this.
21 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.
Having heard now they entered at the dawn into the temple and were teaching. Having come now the high priest and those with him they called together the Council even all the Senate of the sons of Israel and sent to the prison house to bring them.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it,
And having come [the] officers not did find them in the prison. having returned then they reported back
23 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.
saying that The (indeed *k*) prison house we found shut with all security and the guards (outside *K*) already standing (before *N(k)O*) the doors, having opened [them] however inside no [one] we found.
24 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.
When now they heard words these both (the priest and the *K*) captain of the temple and the chief priests were perplexed concerning them, what maybe would be this.
25 Then came one and shewed them, saying, Beholde, the men that ye put in prison, are standing in the Temple, and teach the people.
Having come then a certain one he reported to them (saying *k*) that Behold the men whom you put in the prison are in the temple already standing and teaching the people!
26 Then went the captaine with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should haue bene stoned)
Then having gone the captain with the officers (was bringing *N(k)O*) them not with force, they were afraid of for the people (so that *k*) lest they may be stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe Priest asked them,
Having brought then them they set [them] in the Council. And asked them the high priest
28 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.
saying; (Surely *NK*) by a charge we commanded you not to teach in name this. And behold you have filled Jerusalem with the teaching of you and you intend to bring upon us the blood of the man this.
29 Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.
Answering however (*k*) Peter and the apostles said; To obey it is necessary to God rather than to men.
30 The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree.
The God of the fathers of us raised up Jesus whom you yourselves killed having hanged [Him] on a tree;
31 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.
Him God [as] Prince and Savior exalted by the right hand of Him (*no*) to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
32 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.
And we ourselves are (of him *k*) witnesses of the declarations these and also the Spirit (now *k*) Holy whom has given God to those obeying Him.
33 Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them.
And (having heard *NK(o)*) they felt cut up and (they were desiring *N(k)O*) to execute them.
34 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,
Having risen up however a certain [man] in the Council a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, he commanded [them] outside for a short (while *k*) the (men *N(K)O*) to put,
35 And sayd vnto them, Men of Israel, take heede to your selues, what ye intende to doe touching these men.
He said then to them; Men Israelites, do take heed to yourselves with men these what you are about to do.
36 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.
Before for these days rose up Theudas affirming to be somebody himself, to whom (were joined *N(k)(o)*) of men number (about *N(k)O*) four hundred; who was executed, and all as many as were persuaded by him they were dispersed and they it came to no [thing].
37 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.
After this man rose up Judas the Galilean in the days of the registration and drew away people (significant number of *K*) after him; And he And he perished, and all as many as were persuaded by him were scattered.
38 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:
And now I say to you, do withdraw from men these and (do release *N(k)O*) them, for if shall be from men plan this or work this, it will be overthrown;
39 But if it be of God, ye can not destroy it, lest ye be found euen fighters against God.
if however from God it is, not (you will be able *N(k)O*) to overthrow (them, *N(K)O*) otherwise otherwise also fighting against God You shall be found.
40 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.
They were persuaded now by him, and having called in the apostles having beaten they commanded [them] not to speak in the name of Jesus and released (them. *k*)
41 So they departed from the Councill, reioycing, that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his Name.
They indeed therefore were departing rejoicing from [the] presence of the Council, that they had been counted worthy for the Name (*o*) (of him *K(O)*) to suffer dishonor;
42 And dayly in the Temple, and from house to house they ceased not to teach, and preach Iesus Christ.
Every then day in the temple and in house not they were ceasing teaching and evangelising [that] the Christ [is] Jesus.
