Acts 5

GNT

1 ἀνὴρ δέ τις ἁνανίας ὀνόματι σὺν σαπφίρῃ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπώλησεν κτῆμα

2 καὶ ἐνοσφίσατο ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς, συνειδυίης καὶ τῆς γυναικός, καὶ ἐνέγκας μέρος τι παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων ἔθηκεν.

3 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ πέτρος, ἁνανία, διὰ τί ἐπλήρωσεν ὁ σατανᾶς τὴν καρδίαν σου ψεύσασθαί σε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς τοῦ χωρίου;

4 οὐχὶ μένον σοὶ ἔμενεν καὶ πραθὲν ἐν τῇ σῇ ἐξουσίᾳ ὑπῆρχεν; τί ὅτι ἔθου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο; οὐκ ἐψεύσω ἀνθρώποις ἀλλὰ τῶ θεῶ.

5 ἀκούων δὲ ὁ ἁνανίας τοὺς λόγους τούτους πεσὼν ἐξέψυξεν· καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας.

6 ἀναστάντες δὲ οἱ νεώτεροι συνέστειλαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν.

7 ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ὡρῶν τριῶν διάστημα καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ μὴ εἰδυῖα τὸ γεγονὸς εἰσῆλθεν.

8 ἀπεκρίθη δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν πέτρος, εἰπέ μοι, εἰ τοσούτου τὸ χωρίον ἀπέδοσθε; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, ναί, τοσούτου.

9 ὁ δὲ πέτρος πρὸς αὐτήν, τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τὸ πνεῦμα κυρίου; ἰδοὺ οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ καὶ ἐξοίσουσίν σε.

10 ἔπεσεν δὲ παραχρῆμα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέψυξεν· εἰσελθόντες δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι εὖρον αὐτὴν νεκράν, καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς.

11 καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐφ᾽ ὅλην τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας ταῦτα.

12 διὰ δὲ τῶν χειρῶν τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα πολλὰ ἐν τῶ λαῶ· καὶ ἦσαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἅπαντες ἐν τῇ στοᾷ σολομῶντος.

13 τῶν δὲ λοιπῶν οὐδεὶς ἐτόλμα κολλᾶσθαι αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτοὺς ὁ λαός·

14 μᾶλλον δὲ προσετίθεντο πιστεύοντες τῶ κυρίῳ πλήθη ἀνδρῶν τε καὶ γυναικῶν,

15 ὥστε καὶ εἰς τὰς πλατείας ἐκφέρειν τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς καὶ τιθέναι ἐπὶ κλιναρίων καὶ κραβάττων, ἵνα ἐρχομένου πέτρου κἂν ἡ σκιὰ ἐπισκιάσῃ τινὶ αὐτῶν.

16 συνήρχετο δὲ καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πέριξ πόλεων ἰερουσαλήμ, φέροντες ἀσθενεῖς καὶ ὀχλουμένους ὑπὸ πνευμάτων ἀκαθάρτων, οἵτινες ἐθεραπεύοντο ἅπαντες.

17 ἀναστὰς δὲ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ σὺν αὐτῶ, ἡ οὗσα αἵρεσις τῶν σαδδουκαίων, ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου

18 καὶ ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτοὺς ἐν τηρήσει δημοσίᾳ.

19 ἄγγελος δὲ κυρίου διὰ νυκτὸς ἀνοίξας τὰς θύρας τῆς φυλακῆς ἐξαγαγών τε αὐτοὺς εἶπεν,

20 πορεύεσθε καὶ σταθέντες λαλεῖτε ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ τῶ λαῶ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τῆς ζωῆς ταύτης.

21 ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἰσῆλθον ὑπὸ τὸν ὄρθρον εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἐδίδασκον. παραγενόμενος δὲ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῶ συνεκάλεσαν τὸ συνέδριον καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γερουσίαν τῶν υἱῶν ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον ἀχθῆναι αὐτούς.

22 οἱ δὲ παραγενόμενοι ὑπηρέται οὐχ εὖρον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ, ἀναστρέψαντες δὲ ἀπήγγειλαν

23 λέγοντες ὅτι τὸ δεσμωτήριον εὕρομεν κεκλεισμένον ἐν πάσῃ ἀσφαλείᾳ καὶ τοὺς φύλακας ἑστῶτας ἐπὶ τῶν θυρῶν, ἀνοίξαντες δὲ ἔσω, οὐδένα εὕρομεν.

24 ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν τοὺς λόγους τούτους ὅ τε στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, διηπόρουν περὶ αὐτῶν τί ἂν γένοιτο τοῦτο.

25 παραγενόμενος δέ τις ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἄνδρες οὓς ἔθεσθε ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ εἰσὶν ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ ἑστῶτες καὶ διδάσκοντες τὸν λαόν.

26 τότε ἀπελθὼν ὁ στρατηγὸς σὺν τοῖς ὑπηρέταις ἦγεν αὐτούς, οὐ μετὰ βίας, ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν, μὴ λιθασθῶσιν.

27 ἀγαγόντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔστησαν ἐν τῶ συνεδρίῳ. καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς

28 λέγων, [οὐ] παραγγελίᾳ παρηγγείλαμεν ὑμῖν μὴ διδάσκειν ἐπὶ τῶ ὀνόματι τούτῳ; καὶ ἰδοὺ πεπληρώκατε τὴν ἰερουσαλὴμ τῆς διδαχῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ βούλεσθε ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου.

29 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ πέτρος καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι εἶπαν, πειθαρχεῖν δεῖ θεῶ μᾶλλον ἢ ἀνθρώποις.

30 ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἤγειρεν ἰησοῦν, ὃν ὑμεῖς διεχειρίσασθε κρεμάσαντες ἐπὶ ξύλου·

31 τοῦτον ὁ θεὸς ἀρχηγὸν καὶ σωτῆρα ὕψωσεν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, [τοῦ] δοῦναι μετάνοιαν τῶ ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.

32 καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν μάρτυρες τῶν ῥημάτων τούτων, καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ὃ ἔδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τοῖς πειθαρχοῦσιν αὐτῶ.

33 οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες διεπρίοντο καὶ ἐβούλοντο ἀνελεῖν αὐτούς.

34 ἀναστὰς δέ τις ἐν τῶ συνεδρίῳ φαρισαῖος ὀνόματι γαμαλιήλ, νομοδιδάσκαλος τίμιος παντὶ τῶ λαῶ, ἐκέλευσεν ἔξω βραχὺ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ποιῆσαι,

35 εἶπέν τε πρὸς αὐτούς, ἄνδρες ἰσραηλῖται, προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις τί μέλλετε πράσσειν.

36 πρὸ γὰρ τούτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἀνέστη θευδᾶς, λέγων εἶναί τινα ἑαυτόν, ᾧ προσεκλίθη ἀνδρῶν ἀριθμὸς ὡς τετρακοσίων· ὃς ἀνῃρέθη, καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐπείθοντο αὐτῶ διελύθησαν καὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς οὐδέν.

37 μετὰ τοῦτον ἀνέστη ἰούδας ὁ γαλιλαῖος ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς ἀπογραφῆς καὶ ἀπέστησεν λαὸν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ· κἀκεῖνος ἀπώλετο, καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐπείθοντο αὐτῶ διεσκορπίσθησαν.

38 καὶ τὰ νῦν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπόστητε ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τούτων καὶ ἄφετε αὐτούς· ὅτι ἐὰν ᾖ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἡ βουλὴ αὕτη ἢ τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο, καταλυθήσεται·

39 εἰ δὲ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστιν, οὐ δυνήσεσθε καταλῦσαι αὐτούς _ μήποτε καὶ θεομάχοι εὑρεθῆτε. ἐπείσθησαν δὲ αὐτῶ,

40 καὶ προσκαλεσάμενοι τοὺς ἀποστόλους δείραντες παρήγγειλαν μὴ λαλεῖν ἐπὶ τῶ ὀνόματι τοῦ ἰησοῦ καὶ ἀπέλυσαν.

41 οἱ μὲν οὗν ἐπορεύοντο χαίροντες ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ συνεδρίου ὅτι κατηξιώθησαν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὀνόματος ἀτιμασθῆναι·

42 πᾶσάν τε ἡμέραν ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ καὶ κατ᾽ οἶκον οὐκ ἐπαύοντο διδάσκοντες καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν χριστόν, ἰησοῦν.

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

Vul

1 Vir autem quidam nomine Ananias, cum Saphira uxore suo vendidit agrum,

2 et fraudavit de pretio agri, conscia uxore sua: et afferens partem quamdam, ad pedes Apostolorum posuit.

3 Dixit autem Petrus: Anania, cur tentavit Satanas cor tuum, mentiri te Spiritui Sancto, et fraudare de pretio agri?

4 nonne manens tibi manebat, et venundatum in tua erat potestate? quare posuisti in corde tuo hanc rem? non es mentitus hominibus, sed Deo.

5 Audiens autem Ananias hæc verba, cecidit, et expiravit. Et factus est timor magnus super omnes qui audierunt.

6 Surgentes autem juvenes amoverunt eum, et efferentes sepelierunt.

7 Factum est autem quasi horarum trium spatium, et uxor ipsius, nesciens quod factum fuerat, introivit.

8 Dixit autem ei Petrus: Dic mihi mulier, si tanti agrum vendidistis? At illa dixit: Etiam tanti.

9 Petrus autem ad eam: Quid utique convenit vobis tentare Spiritum Domini? Ecce pedes eorum qui sepelierunt virum tuum ad ostium, et efferent te.

10 Confestim cecidit ante pedes ejus, et expiravit. Intrantes autem juvenes invenerunt illam mortuam: et extulerunt, et sepelierunt ad virum suum.

11 Et factus est timor magnus in universa ecclesia, et in omnes qui audierunt hæc.

12 Per manus autem Apostolorum fiebant signa et prodigia multa in plebe. Et erant unanimiter omnes in porticu Salomonis.

13 Ceterorum autem nemo audebat se conjungere illis: sed magnificabat eos populus.

14 Magis autem augebatur credentium in Domino multitudo virorum ac mulierum,

15 ita ut in plateas ejicerent infirmos, et ponerent in lectulis et grabatis, ut, veniente Petro, saltem umbra illius obumbraret quemquam illorum, et liberarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.

16 Concurrebat autem et multitudo vicinarum civitatum Jerusalem, afferentes ægros, et vexatos a spiritibus immundis: qui curabantur omnes.

17 Exsurgens autem princeps sacerdotum, et omnes qui cum illo erant (quæ est hæresis sadducæorum), repleti sunt zelo:

18 et injecerunt manus in Apostolos, et posuerunt eos in custodia publica.

19 Angelus autem Domini per noctem aperiens januas carceris, et educens eos, dixit:

20 Ite, et stantes loquimini in templo plebi omnia verba vitæ hujus.

21 Qui cum audissent, intraverunt diluculo in templum, et docebant. Adveniens autem princeps sacerdotum, et qui cum eo erant, convocaverunt concilium, et omnes seniores filiorum Israël: et miserunt ad carcerem ut adducerentur.

22 Cum autem venissent ministri, et aperto carcere non invenissent illos, reversi nuntiaverunt,

23 dicentes: Carcerem quidem invenimus clausum cum omni diligentia, et custodes stantes ante januas: aperientes autem neminem intus invenimus.

24 Ut autem audierunt hos sermones magistratus templi et principes sacerdotum, ambigebant de illis quidnam fieret.

25 Adveniens autem quidam, nuntiavit eis: Quia ecce viri quos posuistis in carcerem, sunt in templo, stantes et docentes populum.

26 Tunc abiit magistratus cum ministris, et adduxit illos sine vi: timebant enim populum ne lapidarentur.

27 Et cum adduxissent illos, statuerunt in concilio: et interrogavit eos princeps sacerdotum,

28 dicens: Præcipiendo præcepimus vobis ne doceretis in nomine isto, et ecce replestis Jerusalem doctrina vestra: et vultis inducere super nos sanguinem hominis istius.

29 Respondens autem Petrus et Apostoli, dixerunt: Obedire oportet Deo magis quam hominibus.

30 Deus patrum nostrorum suscitavit Jesum, quem vos interemistis, suspendentes in ligno.

31 Hunc principem et salvatorem Deus exaltavit dextera sua ad dandam pœnitentiam Israëli, et remissionem peccatorum:

32 et nos sumus testes horum verborum, et Spiritus Sanctus, quem dedit Deus omnibus obedientibus sibi.

33 Hæc cum audissent, dissecabantur, et cogitabant interficere illos.

34 Surgens autem quidam in concilio pharisæus, nomine Gamaliel, legis doctor, honorabilis universæ plebi, jussit foras ad breve homines fieri,

35 dixitque ad illos: Viri Israëlitæ, attendite vobis super hominibus istis quid acturi sitis.

36 Ante hos enim dies extitit Theodas, dicens se esse aliquem, cui consensit numerus virorum circiter quadringentorum: qui occisus est, et omnes qui credebant ei, dissipati sunt, et redacti ad nihilum.

37 Post hunc extitit Judas Galilæus in diebus professionis, et avertit populum post se: et ipse periit, et omnes quotquot consenserunt ei, dispersi sunt.

38 Et nunc itaque dico vobis, discedite ab hominibus istis, et sinite illos: quoniam si est ex hominibus consilium hoc aut opus, dissolvetur:

39 si vero ex Deo est, non poteritis dissolvere illud, ne forte et Deo repugnare inveniamini. Consenserunt autem illi.

40 Et convocantes Apostolos, cæsis denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur in nomine Jesu, et dimiserunt eos.

41 Et illi quidem ibant gaudentes a conspectu concilii, quoniam digni habiti sunt pro nomine Jesu contumeliam pati.

42 Omni autem die non cessabant in templo et circa domos, docentes et evangelizantes Christum Jesum.
