Acts Chapter 5

5^:1And a-certain man, Ananias by-name, with Sapphira the wife of-him, sold a-piece-of-land, ² and kept-back from the price, the/his wife also sharing-knowledge (of it); and having-brought a-certain part, put (it) by the feet of-the apostles.

³ And [the] Peter said,

“Ananias, on-account-of what did┘[the] Satan└fill the heart of-you (that) you lied-to the Holy [the] Spirit and kept-back from the price of-the piece-of-land? ⁴ Remaining, did-it┘not└remain, and having-been-sold, was-it┘(not)└remaining in [the] your authority? Why because did-you-put [the] this matter in the heart of-you? You did┘not└lie to-men, but to-[the] God.”

⁵ And [the] Ananias, hearing [the] these words, having-fallen-down, breathed-his-last, and great fear came-to-be on all the-ones hearing. ⁶ And the younger-men, having-risen-up, wrapped┘him└up and, having carried┘him└out, buried (him).

⁷ And (a) space of┘about└three hours happened, the wife of-him also came-in, not having-known the-thing happened. ⁸ And Peter responded to her,

“Tell me, whether you-sold the piece-of-land for-so-much?”

And the/she said, “Yes, for-so-much.”

⁹ And [the] Peter (said) to her, “Why because was-it-agreed by-you to-test the Spirit of-God? Behold, the feet of-the-ones having-buried the husband of-you (are) at the door, and they-will-carry┘you└out.”

¹⁰ And immediately she-fell at the feet of-him and breathed-her-last. And the young-men, having-entered, found her dead and, having-carried-(her)-out, buried her beside the husband of-her; ¹¹ and great fear came on the whole church and on all the ones hearing these-things.

¹² And through the hands of-the apostles were-happening many signs and wonders among the people. And they-were all together in [the] Solomon’s Porch; ¹³ and nobody of-the rest were-daring to-associate-with them, but the people were magnifying them. ¹⁴ And believing-ones were┘more└being-added to-the Lord, crowds both of-men and women, ¹⁵ so-that even into the streets they-were-carrying-out the sick and put (them) on beds and cots, in-order-that, Peter coming, even the/his shadow might overshadow anybody of-them. ¹⁶ And the multitude of-[the] towns in-the-vicinity of-Jerusalem, were-coming-together, bringing sick-ones and ones-hassled by unclean spirits, who all were-being-healed.

¹⁷ And the high-priest having-arisen and all the-ones with him, the being sect of-the Sadducees, were-full of-jealousy, ¹⁸ and they-laid [the] hands on the apostles and put them in public prison.

¹⁹ And (an) angel of-(the)-Lord during (the) night, having-opened the doors of-the prison and having-led┘them└out, said,

²⁰ “Go and, having-stood, speak in the temple to-the people all the words of-[the] this life.”

²¹ And having-heard, they-entered into the temple under the early-morning³/at daybreak³, and began-to-teach. And the high-priest having-arrived, and the-ones with him called-together the Sanhedrin and all the Council of-the sons of-Israel, and they-sent to the prison for-them to-be-brought.

²² And the having-arrived, officers did┘not└find them in the prison; and, having-returned, they-reported, ²³ saying [that],

“We-found the prison locked in all safety and the guards standing at the doors, but having-opened we-found nobody inside.”

²⁴ And when they-heard [the] these words, and the captain of-the temple and the high-priests were-wondering about them—whatever² this would become. ²⁵ And a-certain one, having-arrived, reported to-them [that],

“Behold, the men whom you-put in [the] prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”

²⁶ Then the captain, having-gone-away with the officers were-bringing them not with violence, for they-were-fearing the people lest they-would-stone them.

²⁷ And having-led them, they-stood (them) in the Sanhedrin; and the high-priest asked them, saying,

“With instruction we-instructed you not to-teach in [the] this name, and behold you-have-filled [the] Jerusalem with-the teaching of-you, and plan to-bring on us the blood of-[the] this man.”

²⁹ And Peter, having-responded and the apostles said,

“It-is-necessary to-obey God rather than men. ³⁰ The God of-the fathers of-us raised Jesus whom you did-murder, having-hung (him) on (a) cross. ³¹ [The] God exalted this-One as-Leader and Savior to-the right-(hand) of-him [the] to-give repentance to-[the] Israel and remission of-sins. ³² And we are witnesses of-[the] these words/matters and the Holy [the] Spirit that [the] God gave to-the-ones obeying him.”

³³ And the-ones/they, having-heard, became-enraged and were-planning to-kill them. ³⁴ And a-certain Pharisee in the Sanhedrin, having-arisen, name to-him Gamaliel, (a) teacher-of-the-Law respected by all the people, commanded (them) to-put the men outside/aside for-a-little-while, ³⁵ and he-said to them,

“Men Israelites, take-heed-to yourselves in-respect-to [the] these men what you-are-about to-do. ³⁶ For before these [the] days Theudas rose-up, saying himself to-be something, to-whom (a) number of-men were-inclined, about four-hundred, who was-killed and all as-many-as obeyed him were-dispersed, and they-became for nothing. ³⁷ After this-one, Judas the Galilean rose-up in the days of-the enrollment and drew-aside people after him; and that-one was-destroyed and all as-many-as obeyed him were-dispersed. ³⁸ And the-things now, I-say to-you, set┘[the] these men└aside and leave┘them└alone; because if [the] this plan or [the] this work is from men, it-will-be-overthrown; ³⁹ but if it-is from God, you-will┘not└be-able to-overthrow them, lest-at-any-time you-be-found even to-be-battling God.”

And they-took his advice/obeyed him. ⁴⁰ And they-summoned the apostles, having-beaten (them), they-commanded (them) not to speak in the name of-[the] Jesus and released them. ⁴¹ So the-ones/they were-going-out rejoicing from (the) face of-the Sanhedrin, because they-were-considered-important-enough to-be-disgraced. ⁴² And every day in the temple and from house to house²/according-to (the) house² they-did┘not└cease teaching and preaching the Christ (was) Jesus.
