< Acts 5 >

1 And a certain man, Ananias by name, with his wife Sapphira, sold a possession,
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲛⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲁⲡⲫⲓⲣⲁ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁ ⲧⲉϥⲧⲓⲙⲏ.
2 and kept back of the price—his wife also knowing—and having brought a certain part, he laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲥⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯⲧⲓⲙⲏ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲓⲟϩⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲭⲁⲩ ϧⲁⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
3 And Peter said, “Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart, for you to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place?
ⲅ̅Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲛⲓⲁⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲙⲁϩ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲕϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⳿ⲉⲡⲠⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲕ⳿ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯⲧⲓⲙⲏ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲓⲟϩⲓ.
4 While it remained, did it not remain yours? And having been sold, was it not in your authority? Why [is] it that you put this thing in your heart? You did not lie to men, but to God”;
ⲇ̅ⲙⲏⲉϥϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲕⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⲁⲛ ϧⲁ ⲧⲉⲕⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲕⲭⲁ ⲡⲁⲓϩⲱⲃ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲕϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ.
5 and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, expired, and great fear came on all who heard these things,
ⲉ̅ⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲛⲓⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁϥϩⲓ ⲁϥϩⲓ ⲡⲉϥⲑⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲓ.
6 and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried [him].

7 And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what has happened, came in,
ⲍ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲅ̅ϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲥⲕⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ.
8 and Peter answered her, “Tell me if for so much you sold the place”; and she said, “Yes, for so much.”

9 And Peter said to her, “How was it agreed by you to tempt the Spirit of the LORD? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband [are] at the door, and they will carry you forth”;
ⲑ̅Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲁⲓϩⲱⲃ ϯⲙⲁϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲓϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲑⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϩⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲭⲏ ϩⲓⲣⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϥⲓϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲱⲓ.
10 and immediately she fell down at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried [her] by her husband;

11 and great fear came on all the Assembly, and on all who heard these things.

12 And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were all with one accord in the porch of Solomon;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩϣⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲑⲟⲩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲥⲧⲟⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲥⲟⲗⲟⲙⲱⲛ.
13 and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲙϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϭⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
14 (and the more were believers added to the LORD, multitudes of both men and women),

15 so as to bring forth the ailing into the broad places, and to lay [them] on beds and pallets, that at the coming of Peter, even [his] shadow might overshadow someone of them;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲗⲁⲧⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲭⲁⲩ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ ϭⲗⲟϫ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲥⲓⲛⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉϥϧⲏⲓⲃⲓ ⳿Ⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
16 and there were also coming together the people of the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, carrying ailing persons, and those harassed by unclean spirits—who were all healed.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲩⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲏ ϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ.
17 And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him—being the sect of the Sadducees—were filled with zeal,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲤⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲙⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲭⲟϩ.
18 and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in a public prison;

19 but through the night a messenger of the LORD opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
20 “Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life”;

21 and having heard, they entered into the temple at the dawn, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the Sanhedrin and all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϣⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲩϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϧⲉⲗⲗⲟⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲓ̅ⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
22 and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,

23 saying, “We indeed found the prison shut in all safety, and the keepers standing outside before the doors, and having opened—we found no one within.”

24 And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come;
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲩⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙⲧ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ.
25 and coming near, a certain one told them, saying, “Behold, the men whom you put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people”;

26 then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned;

27 and having brought them, they set [them] in the Sanhedrin, and the chief priest questioned them,

29 And Peter and the apostles answering, said, “It is required to obey God, rather than men;

33 And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were intending to slay them,

34 but a certain one, having risen up in the Sanhedrin—a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honored by all the people—commanded to put the apostles forth a little,

36 for before these days Theudas rose up, saying that he was someone, to whom a number of men joined themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nothing.

37 After this one, Judas the Galilean rose up, in the days of the census, and drew away people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered;
