Acts 5
1 A man now certain Ananias named with Sapphira the wife of him sold a property
Now a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property,
2 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].
and he kept back part of the sale money (his wife also knew it), and brought the other part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 Said however 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?
But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 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!
While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own, and after it was sold, was it not in your control? How is it that you thought of this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.”
5 Hearing now Ananias words these having fallen down he breathed his last. And came fear great upon all those hearing (these things; *k)
Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard it.
6 Having arisen then the younger [men] covered him and having carried [him] out they buried [him].
The young men came forward and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 It came to pass now about hours three afterward also the wife of him not knowing that having come to pass came in.
After about three hours, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Replied then (to *no) (her *N+kO) Peter; do tell me if for so much the land you sold? And she said; Yes for so much.
Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
9 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.
Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
10 She fell down then immediately (at *N+kO) 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;
She immediately fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 And came fear great upon all the church and upon all those hearing these things.
Great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard these things.
12 By now the hands of the apostles (were happening *N+kO) signs and wonders many among the people; And they were with one accord (all *NK+o) in the Colonnade of Solomon;
Many signs and wonders were taking place among the people through the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon's Porch.
13 of the now rest no [one] was daring to join with them, but were magnifying them the people.
But no one else had the courage to join them; however, they were held in high esteem by the people.
14 more now were added believing in the Lord, multitudes of men both and women,
Still more believers were being added to the Lord, multitudes of men and women,
15 so as (even *no) (into *N+kO) the streets to bring out the sick and to put [them] on (cots *N+kO) and mats, that when is coming Peter at least at least the shadow (shall envelop *NK+o) some of them.
so that they even carried the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, so that as Peter came by, his shadow might fall on some of them.
16 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.
There also came together a great number of people from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
17 Having risen up however the high priest and all those with him, which is being [the] sect of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy
But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees); and they were filled with jealousy
18 and they laid the hands (of them *k) on the apostles and put them in [the] jail public.
and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public jail.
19 An angel however of [the] Lord during (the *k) night (having opened *N+kO) the doors of the prison, having brought out then them said;
Yet during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and led them out, and said,
20 do go and having stood do speak in the temple to the people all the declarations of the life this.
“Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”
21 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.
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, all the elders of the people of Israel, and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought.
22 And having come [the] officers not did find them in the prison. having returned then they reported back
But the officers that went did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
23 saying that The (indeed *k) prison house we found shut with all security and the guards (outside *K) already standing (before *N+kO) the doors, having opened [them] however inside no [one] we found.
“We found the jail securely shut and the guards standing at the door, but when we had opened it, we found no one inside.”
24 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.
Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them as to what would come of it.
25 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!
Then someone came and told them, “The men whom you put in the jail are standing in the temple and teaching the people.”
26 Then having gone the captain with the officers (was bringing *N+kO) them not with force, they were afraid of for the people (so that *k) lest they may be stoned.
So the captain went with the officers, and brought them back, but without violence, for they feared that the people might stone them.
27 Having brought then them they set [them] in the Council. And asked them the high priest
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest interrogated them,
28 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.
saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and desire to bring this man's blood upon us.”
29 Answering however Peter and the apostles said; To obey it is necessary to God rather than to men.
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
30 The God of the fathers of us raised up Jesus whom you yourselves killed having hanged [Him] on a tree;
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
31 Him God [as] Prince and Savior exalted by the right hand of Him to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
God exalted him to his right hand to be a prince and a savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 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.
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 And (having heard *NK+o) they felt cut up and (they were desiring *N+kO) to execute them.
When the council members heard this, they were furious and wanted to kill the apostles.
34 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+KO) to put,
But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up and commanded the apostles to be taken outside for a little while.
35 He said then to them; Men Israelites, do take heed to yourselves with men these what you are about to do.
Then he said to them, “Men of Israel, pay close attention to what you propose to do with these people.
36 Before for these days rose up Theudas affirming to be somebody himself, to whom (were joined *N+k+o) of men number (about *N+kO) four hundred; who was executed, and all as many as were persuaded by him they were dispersed and they it came to no [thing].
For some time ago, Theudas rose up claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who had been obeying him were scattered and came to nothing.
37 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.
After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all who had been obeying him were scattered.
38 And now I say to you, do withdraw from men these and (do release *N+kO) them, for if shall be from men plan this or work this, it will be overthrown;
Now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or work is of men, it will be overthrown.
39 if however from God it is, not (you will be able *N+kO) to overthrow (them, *N+KO) otherwise otherwise also fighting against God You shall be found.
But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; you may even find that you are fighting against God.” So they were persuaded.
40 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)
Then they called the apostles in and beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 They indeed therefore were departing rejoicing from [the] presence of the Council, that they had been counted worthy for the Name (of him *K+O) to suffer dishonor;
They left the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
42 Every then day in the temple and in house not they were ceasing teaching and evangelising [that] the Christ [is] Jesus.
Thereafter every day, in the temple and from house to house, they were continuously teaching and proclaiming Jesus as the Christ.
