5:1 But
a
man
named
Ananias,
with
his
wife
Sapphira,
sold
a
piece
of
property,
5:2 and
with
his
wife's
knowledge
he
kept
back
for
himself
some
of
the
proceeds
and
brought
only
a
part
of
it
and
laid
it
at
the
apostles'
feet.
5:3 But
Peter
said,
"Ananias,
why
has
Satan
filled
your
heart
to
lie
to
the
Holy
Spirit
and
to
keep
back
for
yourself
part
of
the
proceeds
of
the
land
5:4 While
it
remained
unsold,
did
it
not
remain
your
own
And
after
it
was
sold,
was
it
not
at
your
disposal
Why
is
it
that
you
have
contrived
this
deed
in
your
heart
You
have
not
lied
to
men
but
to
God."
5:5 When
Ananias
heard
these
words,
he
fell
down
and
breathed
his
last.
And
great
fear
came
upon
all
who
heard
of
it.
5:6 The
young
men
rose
and
wrapped
him
up
and
carried
him
out
and
buried
him.
5:7 After
an
interval
of
about
three
hours
his
wife
came
in,
not
knowing
what
had
happened.
5:8 And
Peter
said
to
her,
"Tell
me
whether
you
sold
the
land
for
so
much."
And
she
said,
"Yes,
for
so
much."
5:9 But
Peter
said
to
her,
"How
is
it
that
you
have
agreed
together
to
test
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."
5:10 Immediately
she
fell
down
at
his
feet
and
breathed
her
last.
When
the
young
men
came
in
they
found
her
dead,
and
they
carried
her
out
and
buried
her
beside
her
husband.
5:11 And
great
fear
came
upon
the
whole
church
and
upon
all
who
heard
of
these
things.
5:12 Now
many
signs
and
wonders
were
regularly
done
among
the
people
by
the
hands
of
the
apostles.
And
they
were
all
together
in
Solomon's
Portico.
5:13 None
of
the
rest
dared
join
them,
but
the
people
held
them
in
high
esteem.
5:14 And
more
than
ever
believers
were
added
to
the
Lord,
multitudes
of
both
men
and
women,
5:15 so
that
they
even
carried
out
the
sick
into
the
streets
and
laid
them
on
cots
and
mats,
that
as
Peter
came
by
at
least
his
shadow
might
fall
on
some
of
them.
5:16 The
people
also
gathered
from
the
towns
around
Jerusalem,
bringing
the
sick
and
those
afflicted
with
unclean
spirits,
and
they
were
all
healed.
5:17 But
the
high
priest
rose
up,
and
all
who
were
with
him
(that
is,
the
party
of
the
Sadducees),
and
filled
with
jealousy
5:18 they
arrested
the
apostles
and
put
them
in
the
public
prison.
5:19 But
during
the
night
an
angel
of
the
Lord
opened
the
prison
doors
and
brought
them
out,
and
said,
5:20 "Go
and
stand
in
the
temple
and
speak
to
the
people
all
the
words
of
this
Life."
5:21 And
when
they
heard
this,
they
entered
the
temple
at
daybreak
and
began
to
teach.
Now
when
the
high
priest
came,
and
those
who
were
with
him,
they
called
together
the
council
and
all
the
senate
of
the
people
of
Israel
and
sent
to
the
prison
to
have
them
brought.
5:22 But
when
the
officers
came,
they
did
not
find
them
in
the
prison,
so
they
returned
and
reported,
5:23 "We
found
the
prison
securely
locked
and
the
guards
standing
at
the
doors,
but
when
we
opened
them
we
found
no
one
inside."
5:24 Now
when
the
captain
of
the
temple
and
the
chief
priests
heard
these
words,
they
were
greatly
perplexed
about
them,
wondering
what
this
would
come
to.
5:25 And
someone
came
and
told
them,
"Look!
The
men
whom
you
put
in
prison
are
standing
in
the
temple
and
teaching
the
people."
5:26 Then
the
captain
with
the
officers
went
and
brought
them,
but
not
by
force,
for
they
were
afraid
of
being
stoned
by
the
people.
5:27 And
when
they
had
brought
them,
they
set
them
before
the
council.
And
the
high
priest
questioned
them,
5:28 saying,
"We
strictly
charged
you
not
to
teach
in
this
name,
yet
here
you
have
filled
Jerusalem
with
your
teaching,
and
you
intend
to
bring
this
man's
blood
upon
us."
5:29 But
Peter
and
the
apostles
answered,
"We
must
obey
God
rather
than
men.
5:30 The
God
of
our
fathers
raised
Jesus,
whom
you
killed
by
hanging
him
on
a
tree.
5:31 God
exalted
him
at
his
right
hand
as
Leader
and
Savior,
to
give
repentance
to
Israel
and
forgiveness
of
sins.
5:32 And
we
are
witnesses
to
these
things,
and
so
is
the
Holy
Spirit,
whom
God
has
given
to
those
who
obey
him."
5:33 When
they
heard
this,
they
were
enraged
and
wanted
to
kill
them.
5:34 But
a
Pharisee
in
the
council
named
Gamaliel,
a
teacher
of
the
law
held
in
honor
by
all
the
people,
stood
up
and
gave
orders
to
put
the
men
outside
for
a
little
while.
5:35 And
he
said
to
them,
"Men
of
Israel,
take
care
what
you
are
about
to
do
with
these
men.
5:36 For
before
these
days
Theudas
rose
up,
claiming
to
be
somebody,
and
a
number
of
men,
about
four
hundred,
joined
him.
He
was
killed,
and
all
who
followed
him
were
dispersed
and
came
to
nothing.
5:37 After
him
Judas
the
Galilean
rose
up
in
the
days
of
the
census
and
drew
away
some
of
the
people
after
him.
He
too
perished,
and
all
who
followed
him
were
scattered.
5:38 So
in
the
present
case
I
tell
you,
keep
away
from
these
men
and
let
them
alone,
for
if
this
plan
or
this
undertaking
is
of
man,
it
will
fail;
5:39 but
if
it
is
of
God,
you
will
not
be
able
to
overthrow
them.
You
might
even
be
found
opposing
God!"
So
they
took
his
advice,
5:40 and
when
they
had
called
in
the
apostles,
they
beat
them
and
charged
them
not
to
speak
in
the
name
of
Jesus,
and
let
them
go.
5:41 Then
they
left
the
presence
of
the
council,
rejoicing
that
they
were
counted
worthy
to
suffer
dishonor
for
the
name.
5:42 And
every
day,
in
the
temple
and
from
house
to
house,
they
did
not
cease
teaching
and
preaching
Jesus
as
the
Christ.
