Acts 5
1 And a certain man, Ananias by name, with his wife Sapphira, sold a possession,
But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession,
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.
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 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?
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 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”;
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, having fallen down, expired, and great fear came on all who heard these things,
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 having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they 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 after, that his wife, not knowing what has 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 for so much you sold the place”; 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, “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”;
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 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;
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 on all the Assembly, and on all who heard these things.
And great feare came on all the Church, and on as many as 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;
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 and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them,
And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.
14 (and the more were believers added to the LORD, multitudes of both men and women),
Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)
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;
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 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.
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 having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him—being the sect of the Sadducees—were filled with zeal,
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 their hands on the apostles, and put them in a public prison;
And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 but through the night a messenger of the LORD opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said,
But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd,
20 “Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life”;
Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes 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,
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 the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it,
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.”
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 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;
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 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”;
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 magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing 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 having brought them, they set [them] in the Sanhedrin, and the chief priest questioned them,
And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe Priest asked them,
28 saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this Name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring on 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 And Peter and the apostles answering, said, “It is required to obey God, rather than men;
Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.
30 and the God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew, having hanged on a tree;
The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree.
31 this One, God, a Prince and a Savior, has exalted with His right hand, to give conversion to Israel, and forgiveness 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 sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying 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 And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were intending to slay them,
Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted 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,
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, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what you are about 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, 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.
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 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;
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, refrain from these men, and leave them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,
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 and if it be of God, you are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps you are also found fighting against God.”
But if it be of God, ye can not destroy it, lest ye be found euen fighters against God.
40 And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten [them], they commanded [them] not to speak in the Name of Jesus, and let them go;
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, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that for His Name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor,
So they departed from the Councill, reioycing, that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his Name.
42 also every day in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news—Jesus the Christ.
And dayly in the Temple, and from house to house they ceased not to teach, and preach Iesus Christ.
