ASV_Strong : Acts 5
1. But[G1161] a certain[G5100] man[G435] named[G3686] Ananias[G367], with[G4862] Sapphira[G4551] his[G846] wife[G1135], sold[G4453] a possession[G2933],
2. and[G2532] kept back[G3557] part of[G575] the price[G5092], his[G846] wife[G1135] also[G2532] being privy[G4894] to it[G2532], and brought[G5342] a certain[G5100] part[G3313], and laid[G5087] it at[G3844] the apostles[G652]' feet[G4228].
3. But[G1161] Peter[G4074] said[G2036], Ananias[G1223], why[G5101] hath[G4137] Satan[G4567] filled[G4137] thy[G4675] heart[G2588] to lie[G5574, 4571] to the[G4151] Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151], and[G2532] to keep back[G3557] part of[G575] the price[G5092] of the land[G5564]?
4. While it remained[G3306], did it[G3306] not[G3780] remain thine own[G4671]? and[G2532] after it was sold[G4097], was it[G5225] not[G3780] in[G1722] thy[G4674] power[G1849]? How[G5101] is it[G3754] that thou hast conceived[G5087] this[G5124] thing[G4229] in[G1722] thy[G4675] heart[G2588]? thou has[G5574] not[G3756] lied[G5574] unto men[G444], but[G235] unto God[G2316].
5. And[G1161] Ananias[G367] hearing[G191] these[G5128] words[G3056] fell down[G4098] and[G2532] gave up the ghost[G1634]: and[G2532] great[G3173] fear[G5401] came[G1096] upon all[G3956] that[G3588] heard[G191] it[G5023].
6. And[G1161] the young men[G3501] arose[G450] and[G2532] wrapped him[G846] round[G2532], and they carried[G1627] him[G846] out[G1627] and[G2532] buried him[G2290].
7. And[G1161] it was[G1096] about[G5613] the space[G1292] of three[G5140] hours[G5610] after[G2532], when his[G846] wife[G1135], not[G3361] knowing[G1492] what[G3588] was done[G1096], came in[G1525].
8. And[G1161] Peter[G4074] answered[G611] unto her[G846], Tell[G2036] me[G3427] whether[G1487] ye sold[G591] the land[G5564] for so much[G5118]. And[G1161] she said[G2036], Yea[G3483], for so much[G5118].
9. But[G1161] Peter[G4074] said[G2036] unto[G4314] her[G846], How is it[G5101] that[G3754] ye[G5213] have agreed together[G4856] to try[G3985] the Spirit[G4151] of the Lord[G2962]? behold[G2400], the feet[G4228] of them[G3588] that have buried[G2290] thy[G4675] husband[G435] are at[G1909] the door[G2374], and[G2532] they shall carry[G1627] thee[G4571] out[G1627].
10. And[G1161] she fell down[G4098] immediately[G3916] at[G3844] his[G846] feet[G4228], and[G2532] gave up the ghost[G1634]: and[G1161] the young men[G3495] came in[G1525] and[G1161] found[G2147] her[G846] dead[G3498], and[G2532] they carried[G1627] her out[G1627] and buried[G2290] her by[G4314] her[G846] husband[G435].
11. And[G2532] great[G3173] fear[G5401] came[G1096] upon[G1909] the whole[G3650] church[G1577], and[G2532] upon[G1909] all[G3956] that heard[G191] these things[G5023].
12. And[G1161] by[G1223] the hands[G5495] of the apostles[G652] were[G1096] many[G4183] signs[G4592] and[G2532] wonders[G5059] wrought among[G1722] the people[G2992]; and[G2532] they were[G2258] all[G537] with one accord[G3661] in[G1722] Solomon[G4672]'s porch[G4745].
13. But[G1161] of the rest[G3062] durst[G5111] no man[G3762] join himself[G2853] to them[G846]: howbeit[G235] the people[G2992] magnified[G3170] them[G846];
14. and[G1161] believers[G4100] were[G4369] the more[G3123] added[G4369] to the Lord[G2962], multitudes[G4128] both[G5037] of men[G435] and[G2532] women[G1135];
15. insomuch that[G5620] they even[G2596] carried out[G1627] the sick[G772] into the streets[G4113], and[G2532] laid[G5087] them on[G1909] beds[G2825] and[G2532] couches[G2895], that[G2443], as Peter[G4074] came by[G2064], at the least[G2579] his shadow[G4639] might overshadow[G1982] some[G5100] one of them[G846].
16. And[G2532] there also[G1161] came[G4905] together the multitudes[G4128] from the cities[G4172] round about[G4038, 1519] Jerusalem[G2419], bring[G5342] sick folk[G772], and[G2532] them[G3791] that[G3748] were vexed[G3791] with[G5259] unclean[G169] spirits[G4151]: and they were healed[G2323] every one[G537].
17. But[G1161] the high priest[G749] rose up[G450], and[G2532] all[G3956] they that were[G3588] with[G4862] him[G846] (which is[G5607] the sect[G139] of the Sadducees[G4523]), and they were filled[G4130] with jealousy[G2205],
18. and[G2532] laid[G1911, 846] hands[G5495] on[G1909] the apostles[G652], and[G2532] put[G5087] them[G846] in[G1722] public[G1219] ward[G5084].
19. But[G1161] an angel[G32] of the Lord[G2962] by[G1223] night[G3571] opened[G455] the prison[G5438] doors[G2374], and[G5037] brought[G1806] them[G846] out[G1806], and said[G2036],
20. Go[G4198] ye[G2476], and stand and[G2532] speak[G2980] in[G1722] the temple[G2411] to the people[G2992] all[G3956] the words[G4487] of[G2222] this[G3778] Life[G2222].
21. And[G1161] when they heard[G191] this[G1525], they entered into[G1519] the temple[G2411] about[G5259] daybreak[G3722], and[G2532] taught[G1321]. But[G1161] the high priest[G749] came[G3854], and[G2532] they that were[G3588] with[G4862] him[G846], and[G2532] called[G4779] the council[G4892] together[G4779], and[G2532] all[G3956] the senate[G1087] of the children[G5207] of Israel[G2474], and[G2532] sent[G649] to[G1519] the prison-house[G1519] to have[G71] them[G846] brought[G71].
22. But[G1161] the[G3854] officers[G5257] that came[G3854, 1161] found[G2147] them[G846] not[G3756] in[G1722] the prison[G5438]; and they returned[G390], and[G1161] told[G518],
23. saying[G3004], The prison-house[G1201] we[G2147, Ezekiel3] found shut[G2808] in[G1722] all[G3956] safety[G803], and[G2532] the keepers[G5441] standing[G2476, 1854] at[G4253] the doors[G2374]: but[G1161] when we had opened[G455], we found[G2147] no man[G3762] within[G2080].
24. Now[G1161] when[G5613] the captain[G4755] of the temple[G2411, Deuteronomy37] and[G2532] the chief priests[G2409] heard[G191] these[G5128] words[G3056], they were much perplexed[G1280] concerning[G4012] them[G846] whereunto[G5101, Leviticus2] this[G5124] would grow[G1096].
25. And[G1161] there came[G3854] one[G5100] and[G1161] told[G518] them[G846], [G3754] Behold[G2400], the men[G435] whom[G3739] ye put[G5087] in[G1722] the prison[G5438] are[G1526] in[G1722] the temple[G2411] standing[G2476] and[G2532] teaching[G1321] the people[G2992].
26. Then[G5119] went[G565] the captain[G4755] with[G4862] the officers[G5257], and[G5119] brought[G71] them[G846], but without[G3326, 3756] violence[G970]; for[G1063] they feared[G5399] the people[G2443], lest[G3361] they should be stoned[G3034].
27. And[G1161] when they had brought[G71] them[G846], they set[G2476] them before[G1722] the council[G4892]. And[G2532] the high priest[G749] asked[G1905] them[G846],
28. saying[G3004], [G3756] We[G3853] strictly[G3852] charged[G3853] you[G5213, 1321] not[G3756] to teach[G1321] in[G1909] this[G5129] name[G3686]: and[G2532] behold[G2400], ye have filled[G4137] Jerusalem[G2419] with[G1322] your[G5216] teaching[G1322], and[G2532] intend[G1014] to bring[G1863] this[G5127] man[G444]'s blood[G129] upon[G1909] us[G2248].
29. But[G1161] Peter[G4074] and[G2532] the[G652] apostles[G652] answered[G611] and[G2532] said[G2036], We[G3980] must[G1163] obey[G3980] God[G2316] rather[G3123] than[G2228] men[G444].
30. The God[G2316] of[G3962] our[G2257] fathers[G3962] raised up[G1453] Jesus[G2424], whom[G3739] ye[G5210] slew[G1315], hanging[G2910] him on[G1909] a tree[G3586].
31. Him[G5126] did[G5312] God[G2316] exalt[G5312] with[G1188] his[G846] right hand[G1188] to be a Prince[G747] and[G2532] a Saviour[G4990], to give[G1325] repentance[G3341] to Israel[G2474], and[G2532] remission[G859] of sins[G266].
32. And[G2532] we[G2249] are[G2070, 846] witnesses[G3144] of[G4487] these[G5130] things[G4487]; and[G2532] so[G1161] is the[G4151] Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151], whom[G3739] God[G2316] hath given[G1325] to them[G3980] that[G3588] obey[G3980] him[G846].
33. But they[G1161], when they heard[G191] this[G1282], were cut to the heart[G2532], and minded[G1011] to slay[G337] them[G846].
34. But[G1161] there stood up[G450] one[G5100] in[G1722] the council[G4892], a Pharisee[G5330], named[G3686] Gamaliel[G1059], a doctor of the law[G3547], had in honor[G5093] of[G2992] all[G3956] the people[G2992], and commanded[G2753] to put[G4160] the men[G652] forth[G1854] a[G5100] little while[G1024].
35. And[G5037] he said[G2036] unto[G4314] them[G846], Ye men[G435] of Israel[G2475], take heed[G4337] to yourselves[G1438] as touching[G1909] these[G5125] men[G444], what[G5101] ye are about[G3195] to do[G4238].
36. For[G1063] before[G4253] these[G5130] days[G2250] rose up[G450] Theudas[G2333], giving[G3004] himself[G1438] out to be[G1511] somebody[G5100]; to whom[G3739] a number[G706] of men[G435], about[G5616] four hundred[G5071], joined themselves[G4347]: who[G3739] was slain[G337]; and[G2532] all[G3956], as many as[G3745] obeyed[G3982] him[G846], were dispersed[G1262], and[G2532] came[G1096] to[G1519] nought[G3762].
37. After[G3326] this[G5126] man rose up[G450] Judas[G2455] of Galilee[G1057] in[G1722] the days[G2250] of the enrolment[G582], and[G2532] drew away[G868] some of the people[G2992] after[G3694] him[G846]: he also[G2548] perished[G622]; and[G2532] all[G3956], as[G3745] many as[G3745] obeyed[G3982] him[G846], were scattered abroad[G1287].
38. And[G2532] now[G3568] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Refrain[G868] from[G575] these[G5130] men[G444], and[G2532] let[G1439] them[G846] alone[G1439]: for[G3754] if[G1437] this[G3778] counsel[G1012] or[G2228] this[G5124] work[G2041] be[G5600] of[G1537] men[G444], it will be overthrown[G2647]:
39. but[G1161] if[G1487] it is[G2076] of[G1537] God[G2316], ye will[G1410] not[G3756] be[G2076] able to overthrow[G2647] them[G846]; lest haply ye be found[G2147] even[G2532] to be fighting against God[G2314].
40. And[G1161] to him[G846] they agreed[G3982]: and[G2532] when they had called[G4341] the apostles[G652] unto them[G1194], they beat them and[G2532] charged[G3853] them not[G3361] to[G2980] speak[G2980] in[G1909] the name[G3686] of Jesus[G2424], and[G2532] let[G630] them[G846] go[G630].
41. They[G3767] therefore departed[G4198] from[G575] the presence[G4383] of the council[G4892], rejoicing[G5463] that[G3754] they were counted worthy[G2661] to suffer dishonor[G818] for[G5228] the[G846] Name[G3686].
42. And[G5037] every day[G2250], in[G1722] the temple[G2411] and[G2532] at[G2596, 3956] home[G3624], they ceased[G3973] not[G3756] to teach[G1321] and[G2532] to preach[G2097] Jesus[G2424] as the Christ[G5547].
