Acts 5

5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property 2 and kept back part of the proceeds, with his wife's knowledge, and brought only a portion of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.

3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to steal for yourself from the price of the field? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why have you conceived this deed in your heart [[to do]]?[fn] You have not lied to men but to God.” 5 And hearing these words, [[immediately]][fn] Ananias fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard [[these things]].[fn] 6 The young men rose and wrapped him up, and carried him out and buried him.

7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. 8 But Peter {asked}[fn] her, “{Tell me,}[fn] did you sell the land for this much?” She said, “[Yes,][fn] for that much.” 9 But Peter [[said]][fn] to her, “Why is it that it was agreed by you to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Immediately, she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard these things.

12 Now, many signs and wonders were done among the people through the hands of the apostles. And they were all together [[in the temple]][fn] in Solomon's Portico. 13 Of the rest, no one dared to join them [, but the people magnified them].[fn]

14 And more and more believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they [even][fn] carried out {the}[fn] sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, in order that Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. [[For they were being freed from every sickness among them, each one according to what he had.]][fn]

16 The people [also][fn] gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those being tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

17 Then the high priest and all those with him, the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy 18 and they laid their hands on the apostles and put them in public custody. [[And each one went to his own.]][fn]

19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors[fn] during the night, brought them out, and said, 20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”

21 But having heard, they entered the temple at daybreak and were teaching. And when the high priest and those with him arrived, [[having risen in the morning]][fn] they called together the Sanhedrin and all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them to be brought. 22 But the officers, having arrived, did not find them in the prison; and having returned, they reported it, 23 saying, “We [[indeed]][fn] found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”

24 When they heard these words, both the chief priest and the commander of the temple [[and the high priests]],[fn] they were perplexed about them, wondering what this might lead to. 25 Then someone came and told them [[saying]],[fn] “Look! The men whom you put in prison are in the temple [standing and][fn] teaching the people.”

26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them, but not by force, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.

27 When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, 28 saying, “Did we not strictly order 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.”

29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. 31 God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins [[in him]].[fn] 32 And we are witnesses of [[all]][fn] these words, and also the Holy Spirit,[fn] which God gave to those who obey him.”

33 But when they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them.

34 However, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a respected teacher of the law, stood up in the council and ordered the {men}[fn] to be put outside for a short time. 35 He said to {them},[fn] “Men of Israel, be careful what you are about to do with these men. 36 [For][fn] Before these days, Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody [[great]],[fn] and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was {killed},[fn] and all who followed him [dispersed and][fn] were brought to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and led [[a considerable number of]][fn] people after him; he also perished, and [all][fn] who followed him were scattered. 38 So now I say [to you][fn] [[brothers]],[fn] withdraw from these men and leave them alone [[not defiling your hands]];[fn] for if this plan or this work is of human origin, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, lest you be found fighting against God. [[Neither you nor kings nor tyrants should therefore keep away from these men.]]”[fn]

They were persuaded by him, 40 and after calling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered them not to speak [[to them]][fn] in the name of Jesus, and released [[them]].[fn]

41 So {they}[fn] went on their way from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer dishonor for {the name}.[fn]

42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and proclaiming[fn] the Christ, Jesus.[fn]
