< Acts 5 >

1 A man now certain Ananias named with Sapphira the wife of him sold a 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]. 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? 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! 5 Hearing now Ananias words these having fallen down he breathed his last. And came fear great upon all those hearing (these things; *k) 6 Having arisen then the younger [men] covered him and having carried [him] out they 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. 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. 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. 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; 11 And came fear great upon all the church and upon all those hearing 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; 13 of the now rest no [one] was daring to join with them, but were magnifying them the people. 14 more now were added believing in the Lord, multitudes of men both 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. 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. 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 18 and they laid the hands (of them *k) on the apostles and put them in [the] jail public. 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; 20 do go and having stood do speak in the temple to the people all the declarations of the life this. 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. 22 And having come [the] officers not did find them in the prison. having returned then they reported back 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. 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. 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! 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. 27 Having brought then them they set [them] in the Council. And asked them the high priest 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. 29 Answering however Peter and the apostles said; To obey it is necessary to God rather than to men. 30 The God of the fathers of us raised up Jesus whom you yourselves killed having hanged [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. 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. 33 And (having heard *NK+o) they felt cut up and (they were desiring *N+kO) to execute 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, 35 He said then to them; Men Israelites, do take heed to yourselves with men these 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]. 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. 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; 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. 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) 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; 42 Every then day in the temple and in house not they were ceasing teaching and evangelising [that] the Christ [is] Jesus.
