| [1]ButG1161 a certainG5100 manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367, withG4862 SapphiraG4551 hisG846 wifeG1135, soldG4453[G5656] a possessionG2933, |
[1]And a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, |
| [2]AndG2532 kept backG3557[G5668] part ofG575 the priceG5092, hisG846 wifeG1135 alsoG2532 being privyG4894[G5761] to it, andG2532 broughtG5342[G5660] a certainG5100 partG3313, and laidG5087[G5656] it atG3844 the apostles'G652 feetG4228. |
[2]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]. |
| [3]ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036[G5627], AnaniasG367, whyG1302 hath SatanG4567 filledG4137[G5656] thineG4675 heartG2588[G4571] to lieG5574[G5664] to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to keep backG3557[G5670] part ofG575 the priceG5092 of the landG5564? |
[3]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? |
| [4]Whiles it remainedG3306[G5723], was it notG3780 thine ownG4671[G3306][G5707]? andG2532 after it was soldG4097[G5685], was it notG5225[G5707] inG1722 thine ownG4674 powerG1849? whyG5101[G3754] hast thou conceivedG5087[G5639] thisG5124 thingG4229 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588? thou hastG5574 notG3756 liedG5574[G5662] unto menG444, butG235 unto GodG2316. |
[4]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;' |
| [5]AndG1161 AnaniasG367 hearingG191[G5723] theseG5128 wordsG3056 fell downG4098[G5631], and gave up the ghostG1634[G5656]: andG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 cameG1096[G5633] onG1909 allG3956 them that heardG191[G5723] these thingsG5023. |
[5]and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things, |
| [6]AndG1161 the young menG3501 aroseG450[G5631], woundG4958 himG846 upG4958[G5656], andG2532 carried him outG1627[G5660], and buriedG2290 himG5656. |
[6]and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried [him]. |
| [7]AndG1161 it wasG1096[G5633] aboutG5613 the spaceG1292 of threeG5140 hoursG5610 afterG1292, whenG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135, notG3361 knowingG1492[G5761] what was doneG1096[G5756], came inG1525.[G5627] |
[7]And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what hath happened, came in, |
| [8]AndG1161 PeterG4074 answeredG611[G5662] unto herG846, TellG2036[G5628] meG3427 whetherG1487 ye soldG591[G5639] the landG5564 for so muchG5118? AndG1161 she saidG2036[G5627], YeaG3483, for so muchG5118. |
[8]and Peter answered her, `Tell me if for so much ye sold the place;' and she said, `Yes, for so much.' |
| [9]ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 herG846, HowG5101 is it thatG3754 yeG5213 have agreed togetherG4856[G5681] to temptG3985[G5658] the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962? beholdG2400[G5628], the feetG4228 of them which have buriedG2290[G5660] thyG4675 husbandG435 are atG1909 the doorG2374, andG2532 shall carryG1627 theeG4571 outG1627.[G5692] |
[9]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;' |
| [10]ThenG1161 fell she downG4098[G5627] straightwayG3916 atG3844 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 yielded up the ghostG1634[G5656]: andG1161 the young menG3495 came inG1525[G5631], and foundG2147[G5627] herG846 deadG3498, andG2532, carrying her forthG1627[G5660], buriedG2290[G5656] her byG4314 herG846 husbandG435. |
[10]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; |
| [11]AndG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 cameG1096[G5633] uponG1909 allG3650 the churchG1577, andG2532 uponG1909 as many asG3956 heardG191[G5723] these thingsG5023. |
[11]and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things. |
| [12]AndG1161 byG1223 the handsG5495 of the apostlesG652 wereG1096 manyG4183 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 wroughtG1096[G5633][G5625][G1096][G5711] amongG1722 the peopleG2992; (andG2532 they wereG2258[G5713] allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1722 Solomon'sG4672 porchG4745. |
[12]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; |
| [13]AndG1161 of the restG3062 durstG5111[G5707] no manG3762 join himselfG2853[G5745] to themG846: butG235 the peopleG2992 magnifiedG3170[G5707] themG846. |
[13]and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them, |
| [14]AndG1161 believersG4100[G5723] wereG4369 the moreG3123 addedG4369[G5712] to the LordG2962, multitudesG4128 bothG5037 of menG435 andG2532 womenG1135.) |
[14](and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,) |
| [15]InsomuchG5620 that they brought forthG1627[G5721] the sickG772 intoG2596 the streetsG4113, andG2532 laidG5087[G5721] them onG1909 bedsG2825 andG2532 couchesG2895, thatG2443 at the leastG2579 the shadowG4639 of PeterG4074 passing byG2064[G5740] might overshadowG1982[G5661] someG5100 of themG846. |
[15]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; |
| [16][G1161]There cameG4905[G5711] alsoG2532 a multitudeG4128 out of the citiesG4172 round aboutG4038 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419, bringingG5342[G5723] sickG772 folks, andG2532 them which were vexedG3791[G5746] withG5259 uncleanG169 spiritsG4151: and theyG3748 were healedG2323[G5712] every oneG537. |
[16]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. |
| [17]ThenG1161 the high priestG749 rose upG450[G5631], andG2532 all theyG3956 that were withG4862 himG846, (whichG3588 isG5607[G5752] the sectG139 of the SadduceesG4523,) and were filledG4130[G5681] with indignationG2205, |
[17]And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him -- being the sect of the Sadducees -- were filled with zeal, |
| [18]AndG2532 laidG1911[G5627] theirG846 handsG5495 onG1909 the apostlesG652, andG2532 putG5087[G5639] themG846 inG1722 the commonG1219 prisonG5084. |
[18]and laid their hands upon the apostles, and did put them in a public prison; |
| [19]ButG1161 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 byG1223 nightG3571 openedG455[G5656] the prisonG5438 doorsG2374, andG5037 broughtG1806 themG846 forthG1806[G5631], G2036and saidG5627 |
[19]and a messenger of the Lord through the night opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said, |
| [20]GoG4198[G5737], standG2476[G5685] andG2532 speakG2980[G5720] inG1722 the templeG2411 to the peopleG2992 allG3956 the wordsG4487 of thisG5026 lifeG2222. |
[20]`Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life;' |
| [21]AndG1161 when they heardG191[G5660] that, they enteredG1525[G5627] intoG1519 the templeG2411 early in the morningG5259[G3722], andG2532 taughtG1321[G5707]. ButG1161 the high priestG749 cameG3854[G5637], andG2532 they that were withG4862 himG846, and calledG4779 the councilG4892 togetherG4779[G5656], andG2532 allG3956 the senateG1087 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 sentG649[G5656] toG1519 the prisonG1201 to haveG71 themG846 broughtG71.[G5683] |
[21]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, |
| [22]ButG1161 when the officersG5257 cameG3854[G5637], and foundG2147[G5627] themG846 notG3756 inG1722 the prisonG5438, they returnedG390[G5660], andG1161 G518toldG5656 |
[22]and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told, |
| [23]SayingG3004[G5723],[G3754] The prisonG1201 trulyG3303 found weG2147[G5627] shutG2808[G5772] withG1722 allG3956 safetyG803, andG2532 the keepersG5441 standingG2476[G5761] withoutG1854 beforeG4253 the doorsG2374: butG1161 when we had openedG455[G5660], we foundG2147[G5627] no manG3762 withinG2080. |
[23]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.' |
| [24]NowG1161 whenG5613[G5037] the high priestG2409 andG2532 the captainG4755 of the templeG2411 andG2532 the chief priestsG749 heardG191[G5656] theseG5128 thingsG3056, they doubtedG1280[G5707] ofG4012 themG846 whereuntoG5101[G302] thisG5124 would growG1096.[G5636] |
[24]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; |
| [25]Then cameG3854[G5637] oneG5100 andG1161 toldG518[G5656] themG846, sayingG3004[G5723],[G3754] BeholdG2400[G5628], the menG435 whomG3739 ye putG5087[G5639] inG1722 prisonG5438 areG1526[G5748] standingG2476[G5761] inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 teachingG1321[G5723] the peopleG2992. |
[25]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;' |
| [26]ThenG5119 wentG565[G5631] the captainG4755 withG4862 the officersG5257, and broughtG71[G5627] themG846 withoutG3756[G3326] violenceG970: forG1063 they fearedG5399[G5711] the peopleG2992, lestG3363 they should have been stonedG3034.[G5686] |
[26]then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned; |
| [27]AndG1161 when they had broughtG71[G5631] themG846, they setG2476[G5627] them beforeG1722 the councilG4892: andG2532 the high priestG749 askedG1905[G5656] themG846, |
[27]and having brought them, they set [them] in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them, |
| [28]SayingG3004[G5723], DidG3853 notG3756 we straitlyG3852 commandG3853[G5656] youG5213 that ye shouldG1321 notG3361 teachG1321[G5721] inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686? andG2532, beholdG2400[G5628], ye have filledG4137[G5758] JerusalemG2419 with yourG5216 doctrineG1322, andG2532 intendG1014[G5736] to bringG1863[G5629] thisG5127 man'sG444 bloodG129 uponG1909 usG2248. |
[28]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.' |
| [29]ThenG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 the other apostlesG652 answeredG611[G5679] and saidG2036[G5627], We oughtG1163[G5748] to obeyG3980[G5721] GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444. |
[29]And Peter and the apostles answering, said, `To obey God it behoveth, rather than men; |
| [30]The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 raised upG1453[G5656] JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 slewG1315[G5668] and hangedG2910[G5660] onG1909 a treeG3586. |
[30]and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree; |
| [31]HimG5126 hath GodG2316 exaltedG5312[G5656] with hisG846 right handG1188 to be a PrinceG747 andG2532 a SaviourG4990, for to giveG1325[G5629] repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, andG2532 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266. |
[31]this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins; |
| [32]AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070[G5748] hisG846 witnessesG3144 of theseG5130 thingsG4487; andG2532 so is alsoG1161 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, whomG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325[G5656] to them that obeyG3980[G5723] himG846. |
[32]and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.' |
| [33]WhenG1161 they heardG191[G5660] that, they were cutG1282[G5712] to the heart, andG2532 took counselG1011[G5711] to slayG337[G5629] themG846. |
[33]And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were taking counsel to slay them, |
| [34]ThenG1161 stood there upG450[G5631] oneG5100 inG1722 the councilG4892, a PhariseeG5330, namedG3686 GamalielG1059, a doctor of the lawG3547, had in reputationG5093 among allG3956 the peopleG2992, and commandedG2753[G5656] to putG4160[G5658] the apostlesG652 forthG1854 aG5100 little spaceG1024; |
[34]but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim -- a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people -- commanded to put the apostles forth a little, |
| [35]AndG5037 saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 themG846, Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, take heedG4337[G5720] to yourselvesG1438 whatG5101 ye intendG3195[G5719] to doG4238[G5721] as touchingG1909 theseG5125 menG444. |
[35]and said unto them, `Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what ye are about to do, |
| [36]ForG1063 beforeG4253 theseG5130 daysG2250 rose upG450[G5627] TheudasG2333, boastingG3004[G5723] himselfG1438 to beG1511[G5750] somebodyG5100; to whomG3739 a numberG706 of menG435, aboutG5616 four hundredG5071, joined themselvesG4347[G5681]: whoG3739 was slainG337[G5681]; andG2532 allG3956, as many asG3745 obeyedG3982[G5712] himG846, were scatteredG1262[G5681], andG2532 broughtG1096[G5633] toG1519 noughtG3762. |
[36]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. |
| [37]AfterG3326 this manG5126 rose upG450[G5627] JudasG2455 of GalileeG1057 inG1722 the daysG2250 of the taxingG582, andG2532 drew awayG868[G5656] muchG2425 peopleG2992 afterG3694 himG846: he alsoG2548 perishedG622[G5639]; andG2532 allG3956, even as many asG3745 obeyedG3982[G5712] himG846, were dispersedG1287.[G5681] |
[37]`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; |
| [38]AndG2532 nowG3569 I sayG3004[G5719] unto youG5213, RefrainG868[G5628] fromG575 theseG5130 menG444, andG2532 letG1439 themG846 aloneG1439[G5657]: forG3754 ifG1437 thisG3778 counselG1012 orG2228 thisG5124 workG2041 beG5600[G5753] ofG1537 menG444, it will come to noughtG2647:[G5701] |
[38]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, |
| [39]ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG2076[G5748] ofG1537 GodG2316, ye cannotG3756[G1410][G5736] overthrowG2647[G5658] itG846; lest haplyG3379 ye be foundG2147[G5686] evenG2532 to fight against GodG2314. |
[39]and if it be of God, ye are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps also ye be found fighting against God.' |
| [40]AndG1161 to himG846 they agreedG3982[G5681]: andG2532 when they had calledG4341[G5666] the apostlesG652, and beatenG1194[G5660] them, they commandedG3853[G5656] that they shouldG2980 notG3361 speakG2980[G5721] inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424, andG2532 letG630 themG846 goG630.[G5656] |
[40]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; |
| [41]AndG3767 they departedG4198[G5711][G3303] fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the councilG4892, rejoicingG5463[G5723] thatG3754 they were counted worthyG2661[G5681] to suffer shameG818[G5683] forG5228 hisG846 nameG3686. |
[41]they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour, |
| [42]AndG5037 dailyG2250[G3956] inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 in everyG2596 houseG3624, they ceasedG3973[G5710] notG3756 to teachG1321[G5723] andG2532 preachG2097[G5734] JesusG2424 ChristG5547. |
[42]every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news -- Jesus the Christ. |
