But{G1161} a certain{G5100} man{G435} named{G3686} Ananias{G367}, with{G4862} Sapphira{G4551} his{G846} wife{G1135}, sold{G4453}{(G5656)} a possession{G2933},

And{G2532} kept back{G3557}{(G5668)} part of{G575} the price{G5092}, his{G846} wife{G1135} also{G2532} being privy{G4894}{(G5761)} to it, and{G2532} brought{G5342}{(G5660)} a certain{G5100} part{G3313}, and laid{G5087}{(G5656)} it at{G3844} the apostles{G652}' feet{G4228}.

But{G1161} Peter{G4074} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Ananias{G367}, why{G1302} hath Satan{G4567} filled{G4137}{(G5656)} thine{G4675} heart{G2588}{G4571} to lie{G5574}{(G5664)} to the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151}, and{G2532} to keep back{G3557}{(G5670)} part of{G575} the price{G5092} of the land{G5564}?

Whiles it remained{G3306}{(G5723)}, was it not{G3780} thine own{G4671}{G3306}{(G5707)}? and{G2532} after it was sold{G4097}{(G5685)}, was it not{G5225}{(G5707)} in{G1722} thine own{G4674} power{G1849}? why{G5101}{G3754} hast thou conceived{G5087}{(G5639)} this{G5124} thing{G4229} in{G1722} thine{G4675} heart{G2588}? thou hast{G5574} not{G3756} lied{G5574}{(G5662)} unto men{G444}, but{G235} unto God{G2316}.

And{G1161} Ananias{G367} hearing{G191}{(G5723)} these{G5128} words{G3056} fell down{G4098}{(G5631)}, and gave up the ghost{G1634}{(G5656)}: and{G2532} great{G3173} fear{G5401} came{G1096}{(G5633)} on{G1909} all{G3956} them that heard{G191}{(G5723)} these things{G5023}.

And{G1161} the young men{G3501} arose{G450}{(G5631)}, wound{G4958} him{G846} up{G4958}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} carried him out{G1627}{(G5660)}, and buried{G2290}{(G5656)} him.

And{G1161} it was{G1096}{(G5633)} about{G5613} the space{G1292} of three{G5140} hours{G5610} after{G1292}, when{G2532} his{G846} wife{G1135}, not{G3361} knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} what was done{G1096}{(G5756)}, came in{G1525}{(G5627)}.

And{G1161} Peter{G4074} answered{G611}{(G5662)} unto her{G846}, Tell{G2036}{(G5628)} me{G3427} whether{G1487} ye sold{G591}{(G5639)} the land{G5564} for so much{G5118}? And{G1161} she said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Yea{G3483}, for so much{G5118}.

Then{G1161} Peter{G4074} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto{G4314} her{G846}, How{G5101} is it that{G3754} ye{G5213} have agreed together{G4856}{(G5681)} to tempt{G3985}{(G5658)} the Spirit{G4151} of the Lord{G2962}? behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, the feet{G4228} of them which have buried{G2290}{(G5660)} thy{G4675} husband{G435} are at{G1909} the door{G2374}, and{G2532} shall carry{G1627} thee{G4571} out{G1627}{(G5692)}.

Then{G1161} fell she down{G4098}{(G5627)} straightway{G3916} at{G3844} his{G846} feet{G4228}, and{G2532} yielded up the ghost{G1634}{(G5656)}: and{G1161} the young men{G3495} came in{G1525}{(G5631)}, and found{G2147}{(G5627)} her{G846} dead{G3498}, and{G2532}, carrying her forth{G1627}{(G5660)}, buried{G2290}{(G5656)} her by{G4314} her{G846} husband{G435}.

And{G2532} great{G3173} fear{G5401} came{G1096}{(G5633)} upon{G1909} all{G3650} the church{G1577}, and{G2532} upon{G1909} as many as{G3956} heard{G191}{(G5723)} these things{G5023}.

And{G1161} by{G1223} the hands{G5495} of the apostles{G652} were{G1096} many{G4183} signs{G4592} and{G2532} wonders{G5059} wrought{G1096}{(G5633)}{(G5625)}{G1096}{(G5711)} among{G1722} the people{G2992};(and{G2532} they were{G2258}{(G5713)} all{G537} with one accord{G3661} in{G1722} Solomon's{G4672} porch{G4745}.

And{G1161} of the rest{G3062} durst{G5111}{(G5707)} no man{G3762} join himself{G2853}{(G5745)} to them{G846}: but{G235} the people{G2992} magnified{G3170}{(G5707)} them{G846}.

And{G1161} believers{G4100}{(G5723)} were{G4369} the more{G3123} added{G4369}{(G5712)} to the Lord{G2962}, multitudes{G4128} both{G5037} of men{G435} and{G2532} women{G1135}.)

Insomuch{G5620} that they brought forth{G1627}{(G5721)} the sick{G772} into{G2596} the streets{G4113}, and{G2532} laid{G5087}{(G5721)} them on{G1909} beds{G2825} and{G2532} couches{G2895}, that{G2443} at the least{G2579} the shadow{G4639} of Peter{G4074} passing by{G2064}{(G5740)} might overshadow{G1982}{(G5661)} some{G5100} of them{G846}.

{G1161} There came{G4905}{(G5711)} also{G2532} a multitude{G4128} out of the cities{G4172} round about{G4038} unto{G1519} Jerusalem{G2419}, bringing{G5342}{(G5723)} sick{G772} folks, and{G2532} them which were vexed{G3791}{(G5746)} with{G5259} unclean{G169} spirits{G4151}: and they{G3748} were healed{G2323}{(G5712)} every one{G537}.

Then{G1161} the high priest{G749} rose up{G450}{(G5631)}, and{G2532} all they{G3956} that were with{G4862} him{G846},(which{G3588} is{G5607}{(G5752)} the sect{G139} of the Sadducees{G4523},) and were filled{G4130}{(G5681)} with indignation{G2205},

And{G2532} laid{G1911}{(G5627)} their{G846} hands{G5495} on{G1909} the apostles{G652}, and{G2532} put{G5087}{(G5639)} them{G846} in{G1722} the common{G1219} prison{G5084}.

But{G1161} the angel{G32} of the Lord{G2962} by{G1223} night{G3571} opened{G455}{(G5656)} the prison{G5438} doors{G2374}, and{G5037} brought{G1806} them{G846} forth{G1806}{(G5631)}, and said{G2036}{(G5627)},

Go{G4198}{(G5737)}, stand{G2476}{(G5685)} and{G2532} speak{G2980}{(G5720)} in{G1722} the temple{G2411} to the people{G2992} all{G3956} the words{G4487} of this{G5026} life{G2222}.

And{G1161} when they heard{G191}{(G5660)} that, they entered{G1525}{(G5627)} into{G1519} the temple{G2411} early in the morning{G5259}{G3722}, and{G2532} taught{G1321}{(G5707)}. But{G1161} the high priest{G749} came{G3854}{(G5637)}, and{G2532} they that were with{G4862} him{G846}, and called{G4779} the council{G4892} together{G4779}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} all{G3956} the senate{G1087} of the children{G5207} of Israel{G2474}, and{G2532} sent{G649}{(G5656)} to{G1519} the prison{G1201} to have{G71} them{G846} brought{G71}{(G5683)}.

But{G1161} when the officers{G5257} came{G3854}{(G5637)}, and found{G2147}{(G5627)} them{G846} not{G3756} in{G1722} the prison{G5438}, they returned{G390}{(G5660)}, and{G1161} told{G518}{(G5656)},

Saying{G3004}{(G5723)},{G3754} The prison{G1201} truly{G3303} found we{G2147}{(G5627)} shut{G2808}{(G5772)} with{G1722} all{G3956} safety{G803}, and{G2532} the keepers{G5441} standing{G2476}{(G5761)} without{G1854} before{G4253} the doors{G2374}: but{G1161} when we had opened{G455}{(G5660)}, we found{G2147}{(G5627)} no man{G3762} within{G2080}.

Now{G1161} when{G5613}{G5037} the high priest{G2409} and{G2532} the captain{G4755} of the temple{G2411} and{G2532} the chief priests{G749} heard{G191}{(G5656)} these{G5128} things{G3056}, they doubted{G1280}{(G5707)} of{G4012} them{G846} whereunto{G5101}{G302} this{G5124} would grow{G1096}{(G5636)}.

Then came{G3854}{(G5637)} one{G5100} and{G1161} told{G518}{(G5656)} them{G846}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)},{G3754} Behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, the men{G435} whom{G3739} ye put{G5087}{(G5639)} in{G1722} prison{G5438} are{G1526}{(G5748)} standing{G2476}{(G5761)} in{G1722} the temple{G2411}, and{G2532} teaching{G1321}{(G5723)} the people{G2992}.

Then{G5119} went{G565}{(G5631)} the captain{G4755} with{G4862} the officers{G5257}, and brought{G71}{(G5627)} them{G846} without{G3756}{G3326} violence{G970}: for{G1063} they feared{G5399}{(G5711)} the people{G2992}, lest{G3363} they should have been stoned{G3034}{(G5686)}.

And{G1161} when they had brought{G71}{(G5631)} them{G846}, they set{G2476}{(G5627)} them before{G1722} the council{G4892}: and{G2532} the high priest{G749} asked{G1905}{(G5656)} them{G846},

Saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Did{G3853} not{G3756} we straitly{G3852} command{G3853}{(G5656)} you{G5213} that ye should{G1321} not{G3361} teach{G1321}{(G5721)} in{G1909} this{G5129} name{G3686}? and{G2532}, behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, ye have filled{G4137}{(G5758)} Jerusalem{G2419} with your{G5216} doctrine{G1322}, and{G2532} intend{G1014}{(G5736)} to bring{G1863}{(G5629)} this{G5127} man's{G444} blood{G129} upon{G1909} us{G2248}.

Then{G1161} Peter{G4074} and{G2532} the other apostles{G652} answered{G611}{(G5679)} and said{G2036}{(G5627)}, We ought{G1163}{(G5748)} to obey{G3980}{(G5721)} God{G2316} rather{G3123} than{G2228} men{G444}.

The God{G2316} of our{G2257} fathers{G3962} raised up{G1453}{(G5656)} Jesus{G2424}, whom{G3739} ye{G5210} slew{G1315}{(G5668)} and hanged{G2910}{(G5660)} on{G1909} a tree{G3586}.

Him{G5126} hath God{G2316} exalted{G5312}{(G5656)} with his{G846} right hand{G1188} to be a Prince{G747} and{G2532} a Saviour{G4990}, for to give{G1325}{(G5629)} repentance{G3341} to Israel{G2474}, and{G2532} forgiveness{G859} of sins{G266}.

And{G2532} we{G2249} are{G2070}{(G5748)} his{G846} witnesses{G3144} of these{G5130} things{G4487}; and{G2532} so is also{G1161} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151}, whom{G3739} God{G2316} hath given{G1325}{(G5656)} to them that obey{G3980}{(G5723)} him{G846}.

When{G1161} they heard{G191}{(G5660)} that, they were cut{G1282}{(G5712)} to the heart, and{G2532} took counsel{G1011}{(G5711)} to slay{G337}{(G5629)} them{G846}.

Then{G1161} stood there up{G450}{(G5631)} one{G5100} in{G1722} the council{G4892}, a Pharisee{G5330}, named{G3686} Gamaliel{G1059}, a doctor of the law{G3547}, had in reputation{G5093} among all{G3956} the people{G2992}, and commanded{G2753}{(G5656)} to put{G4160}{(G5658)} the apostles{G652} forth{G1854} a{G5100} little space{G1024};

And{G5037} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto{G4314} them{G846}, Ye men{G435} of Israel{G2475}, take heed{G4337}{(G5720)} to yourselves{G1438} what{G5101} ye intend{G3195}{(G5719)} to do{G4238}{(G5721)} as touching{G1909} these{G5125} men{G444}.

For{G1063} before{G4253} these{G5130} days{G2250} rose up{G450}{(G5627)} Theudas{G2333}, boasting{G3004}{(G5723)} himself{G1438} to be{G1511}{(G5750)} somebody{G5100}; to whom{G3739} a number{G706} of men{G435}, about{G5616} four hundred{G5071}, joined themselves{G4347}{(G5681)}: who{G3739} was slain{G337}{(G5681)}; and{G2532} all{G3956}, as many as{G3745} obeyed{G3982}{(G5712)} him{G846}, were scattered{G1262}{(G5681)}, and{G2532} brought{G1096}{(G5633)} to{G1519} nought{G3762}.

After{G3326} this man{G5126} rose up{G450}{(G5627)} Judas{G2455} of Galilee{G1057} in{G1722} the days{G2250} of the taxing{G582}, and{G2532} drew away{G868}{(G5656)} much{G2425} people{G2992} after{G3694} him{G846}: he also{G2548} perished{G622}{(G5639)}; and{G2532} all{G3956}, even as many as{G3745} obeyed{G3982}{(G5712)} him{G846}, were dispersed{G1287}{(G5681)}.

And{G2532} now{G3569} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, Refrain{G868}{(G5628)} from{G575} these{G5130} men{G444}, and{G2532} let{G1439} them{G846} alone{G1439}{(G5657)}: for{G3754} if{G1437} this{G3778} counsel{G1012} or{G2228} this{G5124} work{G2041} be{G5600}{(G5753)} of{G1537} men{G444}, it will come to nought{G2647}{(G5701)}:

But{G1161} if{G1487} it be{G2076}{(G5748)} of{G1537} God{G2316}, ye cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} overthrow{G2647}{(G5658)} it{G846}; lest haply{G3379} ye be found{G2147}{(G5686)} even{G2532} to fight against God{G2314}.

And{G1161} to him{G846} they agreed{G3982}{(G5681)}: and{G2532} when they had called{G4341}{(G5666)} the apostles{G652}, and beaten{G1194}{(G5660)} them, they commanded{G3853}{(G5656)} that they should{G2980} not{G3361} speak{G2980}{(G5721)} in{G1909} the name{G3686} of Jesus{G2424}, and{G2532} let{G630} them{G846} go{G630}{(G5656)}.

And{G3767} they departed{G4198}{(G5711)}{G3303} from{G575} the presence{G4383} of the council{G4892}, rejoicing{G5463}{(G5723)} that{G3754} they were counted worthy{G2661}{(G5681)} to suffer shame{G818}{(G5683)} for{G5228} his{G846} name{G3686}.

And{G5037} daily{G2250}{G3956} in{G1722} the temple{G2411}, and{G2532} in every{G2596} house{G3624}, they ceased{G3973}{(G5710)} not{G3756} to teach{G1321}{(G5723)} and{G2532} preach{G2097}{(G5734)} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}.
