King James Version
And
a certain man ,
Ananias by
name
, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
But
a certain man named
Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
and did
keep
back of the price --
his wife also knowing
--
and having
brought a certain part, at the feet
of
the
apostles he
laid
`it
'.
And kept
back part
of the price ,
his wife also being
privy
to
it,
and brought a certain part, and
laid
it
at the apostles' feet
.
And
Peter said, `
Ananias, wherefore
did
the
Adversary
fill
thy
heart ,
for
thee
to lie to the Holy Spirit
, and to keep back of the price of the place
?
But
Peter said, Ananias, why
hath
Satan
filled
thine
heart to lie to the Holy Ghost
, and to keep back part
of the price of the land
?
while
it remained, did
it not remain
thine? and having
been
sold, in
thy
authority
was it not? why `is'
it
that
thou didst
put
in
thy
heart
this thing? thou didst
not lie
to
men, but to
God ;'
Whiles
it remained, was
it not thine own
? and after
it
was
sold, was it not in
thine
own
power
? why hast
thou conceived
this thing in
thine
heart
? thou hast
not lied
unto
men, but unto
God .
and Ananias hearing these words ,
having
fallen
down, did
expire,
and great fear came upon
all who
heard these things ,
And Ananias hearing these words fell
down, and gave
up
the
ghost:
and
great fear came on
all them
that
heard these things .
and having
risen,
the younger
men wound him up, and having
carried forth
, they
buried `
him '
.
And the young
men arose,
wound him up, and carried him
out
, and
buried him.
And it came
to
pass,
about three hours after, that
his wife, not knowing what hath
happened
, came in ,
And it was
about the
space
of
three hours after, when
his wife, not knowing what was
done
, came in .
and Peter answered her, `
Tell me if
for
so
much
ye sold the place;'
and she said, `Yes
, for so much. '
And Peter answered unto
her, Tell me whether
ye sold the land
for
so
much?
And she said, Yea
, for so much.
And
Peter said unto her, `
How was
it agreed by
you,
to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo
, the feet of those
who
did
bury
thy husband `
are '
at the door, and they
shall carry thee forth;'
Then
Peter said unto her, How is
it that
ye
have
agreed together
to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold
, the feet of them
which
have
buried
thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
and
she
fell down presently
at his feet, and expired,
and the young men having
come
in, found her dead, and having
carried
forth, they
buried `
her '
by her husband ;
Then
fell she
down straightway
at his feet, and yielded
up
the
ghost:
and the young men came
in, and
found her dead, and ,
carrying
her
forth, buried her by her husband .
and great fear came upon all the assembly
, and upon all
who
heard these things.
And great fear came upon all the church
, and upon as
many
as
heard these things.
And through
the hands of the apostles came
many signs and wonders among the people ,
and they were with one accord all
in the
porch of
Solomon;
And by
the hands of the apostles were
many signs and wonders wrought
among the people ;
(
and they were all
with one accord in Solomon's
porch .
and of the rest no one
was
daring
to
join himself to them ,
but the people were
magnifying
them ,
And of the rest durst
no man
join himself to them :
but the people magnified
them .
(
and the more were
believers
added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women ,
)
And believers
were
the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women .
)
so
as
into
the
broad
places
to
bring
forth the ailing
, and to
lay
`
them '
upon
couches
and mats
, that at the coming
of Peter ,
even
`his'
shadow
might overshadow some one
of them ;
Insomuch
that
they
brought
forth the sick
into
the
streets
, and laid
them on
beds
and couches
, that at the least
the
shadow
of Peter passing
by
might overshadow some of them .
and
there were
coming
together
also the
people
of the cities round about to
Jerusalem, bearing
ailing
persons
, and those
harassed
by
unclean spirits --
who
were all
healed.
There came
also a
multitude
out
of the cities round about unto
Jerusalem, bringing
sick
folks

which
were
vexed
with
unclean spirits :

they
were healed every
one
.
And
having
risen,
the chief
priest, and all those
with him --
being
the sect of the Sadducees --
were filled with zeal
,
Then
the high
priest rose
up
, and all they
that
were
with him ,
(which
is
the sect of the Sadducees ,)
and
were filled with indignation
,
and laid their hands upon
the apostles, and did
put them in a
public
prison ;
And laid their hands on
the apostles, and put them in the
common
prison .
and
a
messenger
of the Lord through
the
night opened the doors
of
the
prison, having
also
brought them forth, he
said,
But
the
angel
of the Lord by
night opened the prison doors
, and
brought them forth, and
said,
`
Go on
, and standing,
speak in the temple to the people all the sayings
of this life ;'
Go, stand
and speak in the temple to the people all the words
of this life .
and having
heard, they did
enter
at
the
dawn
into the temple, and were
teaching
. And
the chief
priest having
come
, and those
with him, they
called together
the sanhedrim
and all the senate of the sons
of Israel, and they
sent to the prison to have them brought ,
And when
they
heard that
, they entered
into the temple early
in
the
morning
, and taught
. But
the high
priest came
, and they
that
were
with him, and
called the council
together,
and all the senate of the children
of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought .
and
the officers having
come
, did
not
find
them in the prison, and
having
turned
back,
they told,
But
when
the officers came
, and
found
them not
in the prison, they returned
and
told,
saying --
`
The prison indeed
we
found shut in
all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors ,
and
having
opened --
within
we found no one
. '
Saying ,
The prison truly
found we
shut with
all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors :
but
when
we
had
opened ,
we found no man
within
.
And
as
the priest ,
and the magistrate
of the temple ,
and the chief priests ,
heard these words
, they were
doubting
concerning
them to
what
this would come;
Now
when
the high
priest and the captain
of the temple and the chief priests heard these things
, they doubted
of
them whereunto
this would grow.
and
coming
near,
a
certain
one told them, saying --
`Lo
, the men whom ye did
put in the
prison are in the temple standing
and teaching the people ;'
Then
came
one and
told them, saying, Behold,
the men whom ye put in prison are standing
in the temple ,
and teaching the people .
then the magistrate
having
gone
away
with officers, brought them without violence ,
for they were
fearing
the people, lest they should be
stoned ;
Then went
the captain
with the
officers, and
brought them without violence :
for they feared
the people, lest they should have
been
stoned .
and having
brought them, they set `
them '
in
the sanhedrim,
and the chief
priest questioned
them,
And when
they
had
brought them, they set them before
the council:
and the high
priest asked
them,
saying, `
Did not we strictly
command you not to
teach in this name? and lo
, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching
, and ye
intend to bring upon us the
blood
of
this
man
. '
Saying, Did not we straitly
command you that
ye
should
not teach in this name? and, behold,
ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine
, and intend to bring this
man's
blood
upon us.
And
Peter and the apostles answering,
said, `
To obey God it
behoveth,
rather than men ;
Then
Peter and the other
apostles answered
and
said, We
ought
to obey God rather than men .
and
the God of our fathers did
raise
up Jesus, whom ye slew ,
having
hanged upon
a tree ;
The God of our fathers raised
up Jesus, whom ye slew and
hanged on
a tree .
this
one
God,
a
Prince
and
a
Saviour,
hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation
to Israel, and forgiveness of sins ;
Him
hath God
exalted with his right hand to
be
a
Prince
and
a
Saviour
, for
to give repentance
to Israel, and forgiveness of sins .
and we are His witnesses of these sayings,
and the Holy Spirit
also
, whom God gave
to those
obeying
him. '
And we are his witnesses of these things;
and so
is
also
the Holy Ghost
, whom God hath
given
to them
that
obey
him.
And
they having
heard, were cut `
to the heart '
, and were
taking
counsel to slay them ,

they heard that
, they
were cut to the heart, and took
counsel to slay them .
but
a
certain

up in the sanhedrim
--

name
Gamaliel, a teacher
of law honoured
by
all the people --
commanded to put the apostles forth a little ,
Then
stood
there
up one
in the council,
a Pharisee, named
Gamaliel, a doctor
of the
law ,
had

commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
and said unto them, `
Men ,
Israelites
, take heed to yourselves about
these
men,
what ye are
about
to do ,
And said unto them, Ye
men of
Israel
, take heed to yourselves what ye intend
to do as
touching
these
men.
for before these days rose up Theudas, saying,
that
himself was
some
one,
to whom a number of men did
join
themselves
, as
it
were
four hundred, who was slain ,
and all, as many as were
obeying
him, were scattered, and came
to nought.

himself to be
somebody;
to
whom a number of men, about
four hundred, joined
themselves:
who was slain ;

him, were scattered, and brought
to nought.
`
After this one
rose up ,
Judas the
Galilean,
in the days of the enrollment
, and drew away much people after him ,
and
that
one
perished ,
and all, as many as were
obeying
him, were scattered;
After this man
rose up Judas of
Galilee
in the days of the taxing
, and drew away much people after him :
he
also
perished ;
and all, even
as many as obeyed
him, were dispersed.
and now I say to
you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone ,
because
if this counsel or this work may
be of men, it will be
overthrown,
And now I say unto
you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone :
for
if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come
to
nought:
and
if it be of God, ye are
not
able
to
overthrow it ,
lest perhaps
also
ye be found fighting
against God. '
But
if it be of God, ye cannot
overthrow it ;
lest haply
ye be found even
to
fight
against God.
And to him they agreed ,
and having
called near
the apostles, having
beaten `
them '
, they commanded `them'
not to
speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go ;
And to him they agreed :
and when
they
had
called the apostles, and
beaten them, they commanded that
they
should
not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go .
they ,
indeed,
then,
departed from the presence of the sanhedrim
, rejoicing that for
his
name
they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour,
And
they departed from the presence of the council
, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame
for
his
name.

day
also
in the temple, and in every house, they were
not ceasing
teaching
and proclaiming
good
news
--
Jesus the
Christ.
And
daily
in the temple, and in every house, they ceased
not to
teach
and preach
