1  But¹¹⁶¹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴³⁵ named³⁶⁸⁶ Ananias,³⁶⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² Sapphira⁴⁵⁵¹ his⁸⁴⁸ wife,¹¹³⁵ sold⁴⁴⁵³ a possession,²⁹³³

2  And²⁵³² kept back³⁵⁵⁷ part of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ price,⁵⁰⁹² his⁸⁴⁶ wife¹¹³⁵ also²⁵³² being privy⁴⁸⁹⁴ to it, and²⁵³² brought⁵³⁴² a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ part,³³¹³ and laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ it at³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles'⁶⁵² feet.⁴²²⁸

3  But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said,²⁰³⁶ Ananias,³⁶⁷ why¹³⁰² hath Satan⁴⁵⁶⁷ filled⁴¹³⁷ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ heart²⁵⁸⁸ to lie⁵⁵⁷⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² to keep back³⁵⁵⁷ part of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ price⁵⁰⁹² of the³⁵⁸⁸ land?⁵⁵⁶⁴

4  While it remained,³³⁰⁶ was it not thine own?^{3306 3780 4671} and²⁵³² after it was sold,⁴⁰⁹⁷ was⁵²²⁵ it not in¹⁷²² thine own⁴⁶⁷⁴ power?^{1849 3754} why⁵¹⁰¹ hast thou conceived⁵⁰⁸⁷ this⁵¹²⁴ thing⁴²²⁹ in¹⁷²² thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ heart?²⁵⁸⁸ thou hast not³⁷⁵⁶ lied⁵⁵⁷⁴ unto men,⁴⁴⁴ but²³⁵ unto God.²³¹⁶

5  And¹¹⁶¹ Ananias³⁶⁷ hearing¹⁹¹ these⁵¹²⁸ words³⁰⁵⁶ fell down,⁴⁰⁹⁸ and gave up the ghost:¹⁶³⁴ and²⁵³² great³¹⁷³ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ came¹⁰⁹⁶ on¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ them that heard¹⁹¹ these things.⁵⁰²³

6  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ young men³⁵⁰¹ arose,⁴⁵⁰ wound him up,^{4958 846} and²⁵³² carried him out,¹⁶²⁷ and buried²²⁹⁰ him.

7  And¹¹⁶¹ it was¹⁰⁹⁶ about⁵⁶¹³ the space¹²⁹² of three⁵¹⁴⁰ hours⁵⁶¹⁰ after, when²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ wife,¹¹³⁵ not³³⁶¹ knowing¹⁴⁹² what was done,¹⁰⁹⁶ came in.¹⁵²⁵

8  And¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ answered⁶¹¹ unto her,⁸⁴⁶ Tell²⁰³⁶ me³⁴²⁷ whether¹⁴⁸⁷ ye sold⁵⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ land⁵⁵⁶⁴ for so much?⁵¹¹⁸ And¹¹⁶¹ she³⁵⁸⁸ said,²⁰³⁶ Yea,³⁴⁸³ for so much.⁵¹¹⁸

9  Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ her,⁸⁴⁶ How⁵¹⁰¹ is it that³⁷⁵⁴ ye⁵²¹³ have agreed together⁴⁸⁵⁶ to tempt³⁹⁸⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of the Lord?²⁹⁶² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ feet⁴²²⁸ of them which have buried²²⁹⁰ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ husband⁴³⁵ are at¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ door,²³⁷⁴ and²⁵³² shall carry thee out.^{1627 4571}

10  Then¹¹⁶¹ fell she down⁴⁰⁹⁸ straightway³⁹¹⁶ at³⁸⁴⁴ his⁸⁴⁶ feet,⁴²²⁸ and²⁵³² yielded up the ghost:¹⁶³⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ young men³⁴⁹⁵ came in,¹⁵²⁵ and found²¹⁴⁷ her⁸⁴⁶ dead,³⁴⁹⁸ and,²⁵³² carrying her forth,¹⁶²⁷ buried²²⁹⁰ her by⁴³¹⁴ her⁸⁴⁶ husband.⁴³⁵

11  And²⁵³² great³¹⁷³ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ came¹⁰⁹⁶ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ and²⁵³² upon¹⁹⁰⁹ as many as³⁹⁵⁶ heard¹⁹¹ these things.⁵⁰²³

12  And¹¹⁶¹ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² were many⁴¹⁸³ signs⁴⁵⁹² and²⁵³² wonders⁵⁰⁵⁹ wrought¹⁰⁹⁶ among¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ people;²⁹⁹² (and²⁵³² they were²²⁵⁸ all⁵³⁷ with one accord³⁶⁶¹ in¹⁷²² Solomon's⁴⁶⁷² porch.⁴⁷⁴⁵

13  And¹¹⁶¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ rest³⁰⁶² durst⁵¹¹¹ no man³⁷⁶² join²⁸⁵³ himself to them:⁸⁴⁶ but²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² magnified³¹⁷⁰ them.⁸⁴⁶

14  And¹¹⁶¹ believers⁴¹⁰⁰ were the more³¹²³ added⁴³⁶⁹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord,²⁹⁶² multitudes⁴¹²⁸ both⁵⁰³⁷ of men⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² women.)¹¹³⁵

15  Insomuch that⁵⁶²⁰ they brought forth¹⁶²⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ sick⁷⁷² into²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ streets,⁴¹¹³ and²⁵³² laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ them on¹⁹⁰⁹ beds²⁸²⁵ and²⁵³² couches,²⁸⁹⁵ that²⁴⁴³ at the least²⁵⁷⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ shadow⁴⁶³⁹ of Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ passing by²⁰⁶⁴ might overshadow¹⁹⁸² some⁵¹⁰⁰ of them.⁸⁴⁶

16  ¹¹⁶¹ There came⁴⁹⁰⁵ also²⁵³² a multitude⁴¹²⁸ out of the³⁵⁸⁸ cities⁴¹⁷² round about⁴⁰³⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ bringing⁵³⁴² sick folks,⁷⁷² and²⁵³² them which were vexed³⁷⁹¹ with⁵²⁵⁹ unclean¹⁶⁹ spirits:⁴¹⁵¹ and they³⁷⁴⁸ were healed²³²³ every one.⁵³⁷

17  Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ rose up,⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ they³⁵⁸⁸ that were with⁴⁸⁶² him,⁸⁴⁶ (which is⁵⁶⁰⁷ the sect¹³⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Sadducees,)⁴⁵²³ and were filled⁴¹³⁰ with indignation,²²⁰⁵

18  And²⁵³² laid¹⁹¹¹ their⁸⁴⁶ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles,⁶⁵² and²⁵³² put⁵⁰⁸⁷ them⁸⁴⁸ in¹⁷²² the common¹²¹⁹ prison.⁵⁰⁸⁴

19  But¹¹⁶¹ the angel³² of the Lord²⁹⁶² by¹²²³ night³⁵⁷¹ opened⁴⁵⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison⁵⁴³⁸ doors,²³⁷⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ brought them forth,^{1806 846} and said,²⁰³⁶

20  Go,^{4198 2532} stand²⁴⁷⁶ and speak²⁹⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ of this⁵⁰²⁶ life.²²²²

21  And¹¹⁶¹ when they heard¹⁹¹ that, they entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ early in the morning,^{5259 3722} and²⁵³² taught.¹³²¹ But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ came,³⁸⁵⁴ and²⁵³² they³⁵⁸⁸ that were with⁴⁸⁶² him,⁸⁴⁶ and called the council together,^{4779 3588 4892} and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ senate¹⁰⁸⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ and²⁵³² sent⁶⁴⁹ to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ prison¹²⁰¹ to have them⁸⁴⁶ brought.⁷¹

22  But¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ officers⁵²⁵⁷ came,³⁸⁵⁴ and found²¹⁴⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ they¹¹⁶¹ returned,³⁹⁰ and told,⁵¹⁸

23  Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ The³⁵⁸⁸ prison¹²⁰¹ truly³³⁰³ found²¹⁴⁷ we shut²⁸⁰⁸ with¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ safety,⁸⁰³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ keepers⁵⁴⁴¹ standing²⁴⁷⁶ without¹⁸⁵⁴ before⁴²⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ doors:²³⁷⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ when we had opened,⁴⁵⁵ we found²¹⁴⁷ no man³⁷⁶² within.²⁰⁸⁰

24  Now¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the^{5037 3739} high priest²⁴⁰⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ captain⁴⁷⁵⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ heard¹⁹¹ these⁵¹²⁸ things,³⁰⁵⁶ they doubted¹²⁸⁰ of⁴⁰¹² them⁸⁴⁶ whereunto⁵¹⁰¹ this⁵¹²⁴ would grow.^{1096 302}

25  Then¹¹⁶¹ came³⁸⁵⁴ one⁵¹⁰⁰ and told⁵¹⁸ them,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ men⁴³⁵ whom³⁷³⁹ ye put⁵⁰⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² prison⁵⁴³⁸ are¹⁵²⁶ standing²⁴⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² teaching¹³²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people.²⁹⁹²

26  Then⁵¹¹⁹ went⁵⁶⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ captain⁴⁷⁵⁵ with⁴⁸⁶² the³⁵⁸⁸ officers,⁵²⁵⁷ and brought⁷¹ them⁸⁴⁶ without^{3326 3756} violence:⁹⁷⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ they feared⁵³⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² lest³³⁶³ they should have been stoned.³⁰³⁴

27  And¹¹⁶¹ when they had brought⁷¹ them,⁸⁴⁶ they set²⁴⁷⁶ them before¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ council:⁴⁸⁹² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ high priest⁷⁴⁹ asked¹⁹⁰⁵ them,⁸⁴⁶

28  Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Did not³⁷⁵⁶ we straitly command^{3853 3852} you⁵²¹³ that ye should not³³⁶¹ teach¹³²¹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ this⁵¹²⁹ name?³⁶⁸⁶ and,²⁵³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ ye have filled⁴¹³⁷ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ with your⁵²¹⁶ doctrine,¹³²² and²⁵³² intend¹⁰¹⁴ to bring¹⁸⁶³ this⁵¹²⁷ man's⁴⁴⁴ blood¹²⁹ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ us.²²⁴⁸

29  Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ other apostles⁶⁵² answered⁶¹¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ We ought¹¹⁶³ to obey³⁹⁸⁰ God²³¹⁶ rather³¹²³ than²²²⁸ men.⁴⁴⁴

30  The³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² raised up¹⁴⁵³ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ slew¹³¹⁵ and hanged²⁹¹⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ a tree.³⁵⁸⁶

31  Him⁵¹²⁶ hath God²³¹⁶ exalted⁵³¹² with his⁸⁴⁸ right hand¹¹⁸⁸ to be a Prince⁷⁴⁷ and²⁵³² a Savior,⁴⁹⁹⁰ for to give¹³²⁵ repentance³³⁴¹ to Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ and²⁵³² forgiveness⁸⁵⁹ of sins.²⁶⁶

32  And²⁵³² we²²⁴⁹ are²⁰⁷⁰ his⁸⁴⁶ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ of these⁵¹³⁰ things;⁴⁴⁸⁷ and²⁵³² so is also¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath given¹³²⁵ to them that obey³⁹⁸⁰ him.⁸⁴⁶

33  When¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ heard¹⁹¹ that, they were cut¹²⁸² to the heart, and²⁵³² took counsel¹⁰¹¹ to slay³³⁷ them.⁸⁴⁶

34  Then¹¹⁶¹ stood there up⁴⁵⁰ one⁵¹⁰⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² a Pharisee,⁵³³⁰ named³⁶⁸⁶ Gamaliel,¹⁰⁵⁹ a doctor of the law,³⁵⁴⁷ had in reputation⁵⁰⁹³ among all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ people,²⁹⁹² and commanded²⁷⁵³ to put⁴¹⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² forth¹⁸⁵⁴ a little space;^{1024 5100}

35  And⁵⁰³⁷ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ Ye men⁴³⁵ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁵ take heed⁴³³⁷ to yourselves¹⁴³⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ ye intend³¹⁹⁵ to do⁴²³⁸ as touching¹⁹⁰⁹ these⁵¹²⁵ men.⁴⁴⁴

36  For¹⁰⁶³ before⁴²⁵³ these⁵¹³⁰ days²²⁵⁰ rose up⁴⁵⁰ Theudas,²³³³ boasting³⁰⁰⁴ himself¹⁴³⁸ to be¹⁵¹¹ somebody;⁵¹⁰⁰ to whom³⁷³⁹ a number⁷⁰⁶ of men,⁴³⁵ about⁵⁶¹⁶ four hundred,⁵⁰⁷¹ joined⁴³⁴⁷ themselves: who³⁷³⁹ was slain;³³⁷ and²⁵³² all,³⁹⁵⁶ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ obeyed³⁹⁸² him,⁸⁴⁶ were scattered,¹²⁶² and²⁵³² brought¹⁰⁹⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ naught.³⁷⁶²

37  After³³²⁶ this man⁵¹²⁶ rose up⁴⁵⁰ Judas²⁴⁵⁵ of Galilee¹⁰⁵⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ days²²⁵⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ taxing,⁵⁸² and²⁵³² drew away⁸⁶⁸ much²⁴²⁵ people²⁹⁹² after³⁶⁹⁴ him:⁸⁴⁸ he also²⁵⁴⁸ perished;⁶²² and²⁵³² all,³⁹⁵⁶ even as many as³⁷⁴⁵ obeyed³⁹⁸² him,⁸⁴⁶ were dispersed.¹²⁸⁷

38  And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Refrain⁸⁶⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ these⁵¹³⁰ men,⁴⁴⁴ and²⁵³² let them alone:^{1439 846} for³⁷⁵⁴ if¹⁴³⁷ this³⁷⁷⁸ counsel¹⁰¹² or²²²⁸ this⁵¹²⁴ work²⁰⁴¹ be⁵⁶⁰⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ men,⁴⁴⁴ it will come to nought:²⁶⁴⁷

39  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ it be²⁰⁷⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ God,²³¹⁶ ye cannot^{1410 3756} overthrow²⁶⁴⁷ it;⁸⁴⁶ lest haply³³⁷⁹ ye be found²¹⁴⁷ even²⁵³² to fight against God.²³¹⁴

40  And¹¹⁶¹ to him⁸⁴⁶ they agreed:³⁹⁸² and²⁵³² when they had called⁴³⁴¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles,⁶⁵² and beaten¹¹⁹⁴ them, they commanded³⁸⁵³ that they should not³³⁶¹ speak²⁹⁸⁰ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² let them go.^{630 846}

41  And^{3767 3303} they³⁵⁸⁸ departed⁴¹⁹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ the presence⁴³⁸³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ council,⁴⁸⁹² rejoicing⁵⁴⁶³ that³⁷⁵⁴ they were counted worthy²⁶⁶¹ to suffer shame⁸¹⁸ for⁵²²⁸ his⁸⁴⁶ name.³⁶⁸⁶

42  And⁵⁰³⁷ daily^{3956 2250} in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² in every house,^{2596 3624} they ceased³⁹⁷³ not³⁷⁵⁶ to teach¹³²¹ and²⁵³² preach²⁰⁹⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷
