Acts 5
1 A man now certain Ananias named with Sapphira the wife of him sold a property
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
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 kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part 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 you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t 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)
Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
6 Having arisen then the younger [men] covered him and having carried [him] out they buried [him].
The young men arose 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.
About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
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 answered 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.
But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have 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 fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
11 And came fear great upon all the church and upon all those hearing these things.
Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on 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;
By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done amongst the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13 of the now rest no [one] was daring to join with them, but were magnifying them the people.
None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honoured them.
14 more now were added believing in the Lord, multitudes of men both and women,
More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both 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.
They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow 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.
The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by 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, then put them in public custody.
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;
But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought 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 and speak in the temple 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 and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 And having come [the] officers not did find them in the prison. having returned then they reported back
But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. 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 prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, 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 high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
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!
One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing 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.
Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid 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 questioned 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, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on 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, 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 with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission 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 his witnesses of these things; and so also 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.
But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
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 one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honoured by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out 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.
He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
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 before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed 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 enrolment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
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 tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this 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 it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
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)
They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they 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 therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour for Jesus’ name.
42 Every then day in the temple and in house not they were ceasing teaching and evangelising [that] the Christ [is] Jesus.
Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
