Acts 5
1 And a certain man, Ananias by name, with his wife Sapphira, sold a possession,
A certayne man named Ananias with Saphira his wyfe 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 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 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 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 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”;
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, having fallen down, expired, and great fear came on all who heard these things,
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 having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried [him].
And the yonge men roose vp and put him a parte and caryed him out and buryed him.
7 And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what has 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 answered her, “Tell me if for so much you sold the place”; and she said, “Yes, 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 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 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 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 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 great fear came on all the Assembly, and on all who heard these things.
And great feare came on all the congregacion and on as many as hearde it.
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;
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 and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them,
And of other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neverthelater the people magnyfied them.
14 (and the more were believers added to the LORD, multitudes of both men and women),
The noumbre of them that beleved in the Lorde bothe of men and wemen grewe moare and moare:
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 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 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 ye cities roud about vnto Ierusalem bringynge sicke folkes and them which were vexed with vnclene spretes. And they were healed every one.
17 And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him—being the sect of the Sadducees—were filled with zeal,
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 laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in a public prison;
and layde hondes on the Apostles and put them in the comen preson.
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 angell of the Lorde by nyght openned the preson dores and brought them forthe and sayde:
20 “Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life”;
goo steppe forthe and speake in the temple to the people all the wordes of this lyfe.
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,
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 and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,
When the ministres came and founde them not in the preson they returned and tolde
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.”
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 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;
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 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: beholde ye men yt ye put in preson stonde in the teple and teache 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 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 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 counsell. And ye chefe preste axed the
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.”
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 And Peter and the apostles answering, said, “It is required to obey God, rather than men;
Peter and the other Apostles answered and sayde: We ought moare 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 oure fathers raysed vp Ie Iesus whom ye slewe and hanged on tre.
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 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 His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying Him.”
And we are his recordes concernynge these thinges and also the holy goost whom God hath geve to them yt obey him.
33 And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were intending to slay them,
When they hearde yt they clave asunder: and sought meanes to slee 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 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 said to them, “Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what you are about to do,
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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 and if it be of God, you are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps you are also found fighting against God.”
But and yf it be of God ye can not destroye it lest haply ye be founde to stryve agaynst 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 bet them and comaunded that they shuld not speake in ye name of Iesu and let them goo.
41 they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that for His Name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor,
And they departed from the counsell reioysynge yt they were counted worthy to soffre 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 teple and in every housse they ceased not teachinge and preachinge Iesus Christ.
