Acts 5
1 But, a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲛⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲁⲡⲫⲓⲣⲁ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁ ⲧⲉϥⲧⲓⲙⲏ.
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it; and, bringing a certain part, at the feet of the Apostles, he laid it.

3 But Peter said—Ananias! wherefore did Satan fill thy heart, that thou shouldst deal falsely with the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the field?

4 While it remained, was it not, as thine own, it remained? and, when sold, was it not, in thine own authority, that it still continued? Why was it that thou didst contrive in thy heart this deed? Thou hast not dealt falsely with men but, with God.

5 And, as Ananias heard these words, he fell, and expired. And there came great fear upon all that heard;

6 But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him.

7 And it came to pass, after about three hours interval, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

8 And Peter began to say unto her—Tell me! was it, for so much, ye gave up the field? And she said—Yea! for so much.

9 And, Peter, [said] unto her—Why was it agreed by you to put to the proof the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thy husband, are at the door, and they shall bear thee forth.

10 And she fell instantly at his feet, and expired. And the young men, coming in, found her dead; and, bearing her forth, they buried her with her husband.

11 And there came great fear upon the whole assembly, and upon all them that heard these things.

12 And, through the hands of the Apostles, were coming to pass many signs and wonders among the people; and they were all with one accord in the portico 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 Howbeit, of the rest, no one, durst join himself unto them, —nevertheless the people continued to magnify them;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲙϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϭⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
14 And, the more, were being added, when they believed in the Lord, throngs both of men and women; —

15 So that, even into the broad-ways, were they bringing forth the sick, and laying them on small couches and beds, in order that, if Peter were coming along, even perchance his shadow, might overshadow some one 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 Moreover even the throng of the cities all round Jerusalem was coming together, bearing sick folk, and such as were harassed by impure spirits, —who, indeed, were being cured, one and all.
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 But the High-priest, arising, and all who were with him, —being the sect of the Sadducees, —were filled with jealousy,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲣⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲤⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲙⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲭⲟϩ.
18 And thrust their hands upon the Apostles, and put them in a public ward.

19 But, a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison; and, leading them out, said—
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
20 Be going your way, and, taking your stand, be speaking, in the temple, unto the people, all the declarations of this Life.

21 Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto 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 who came to the place, found them not in the prison; and, returning, brought tidings,

23 Saying—The prison, found we locked with all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors; but, when we had opened the prison, inside, found we, no one.

24 Now, when both the captain of the temple and the High-priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss concerning them—what perhaps this might come to.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲩⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙⲧ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ.
25 But some one, entering, brought tidings unto them—Lo! the men whom ye put in the prison, are in the temple, standing, and teaching the people!

26 Then, the captain with the officers, departing, brought them—not with violence, —for they were afraid of the people, lest they should be stoned;
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲩⲡⲉⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙⲏ ⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϩⲓ⳿ⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ.
27 But, leading them in, set them in the high- council. And the High-priest questioned them,

28 Saying—Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man.

29 But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said—It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: —

31 Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, —to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.

33 And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them.

34 But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, —

36 For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, —unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.

37 After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered.
