But a man G435 named G3686 Ananias G367, with his wife G1135 Sapphira G4551, sold G4453 a piece G2933 of G2933 property G2933,

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:2 - and kept G3557 back G3557 some of the [fn]proceeds G5092 for himself, with his wife’s G1135 [fn]full G6083 knowledge G6083, and bringing G5342 a portion G3313 of it, he laid G5087 it at the apostles’ G652 feet G4228.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:3 - But Peter G4074 said G3004, “Ananias G367, why G1223 G5101 has Satan G4567 filled G4137 your heart G2588 to lie G5574 to the Holy G40 Spirit G4151 and to keep G3557 back G3557 some of the [fn]proceeds G5092 of the land G5564?
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:4 - “While it remained G3306 unsold, did it not remain G3306 your own? And after it was sold G4097, was it not [fn]under G1722 your control G1849? Why G5101 is it that you have [fn]conceived G5087 this G3778 deed G4229 in your heart G2588? You have not lied G5574 to men G444, but to God G2316.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:5 - And as he heard G191 these G3778 words G3056, Ananias G367 collapsed G4098 and [fn]died G1634; and great G3173 fear G5401 came G1096 over G1909 all G3956 who heard G191 about it.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:6 - The young G3501 men G3501 got G450 up G450 and covered G4958 him up G4958, and after carrying G1627 him out G1627, they buried G2290 him.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:7 -

Now G1161 an interval G1292 of about G5613 three G5140 hours G5610 elapsed G1096, and his wife G1135 came G1525 in G1525, not knowing G6063 what had happened G1096.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:8 - And Peter G4074 responded G611 to her, “Tell G3004 me whether G1487 you sold G591 the land G5564 for [fn]this G5118 price G5118?” And she said G3004, “Yes G3483, for [fn]that G5118 price G5118.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:9 - Then G1161 Peter G4074 said to her, “Why G5101 is it that you have agreed G4856 together G4856 to put G3985 the Spirit G4151 of the Lord G2962 to G3985 the G3985 test G3985? Behold G2400, the feet G4228 of those G3588 who have buried G2290 your husband G435 are at the door G2374, and they will carry G1627 you out G1627 as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:10 - And immediately G3916 she collapsed G4098 at his feet G4228 and [fn]died G1634; and the young G3495 men G3495 came G1525 in G1525 and found G2147 her dead G3498, and they carried G1627 her out G1627 and buried G2290 her beside G4314 her husband G435.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:11 - And great G3173 fear G5401 came G1096 over G1909 the whole G3650 church G1577, and over G1909 all G3956 who heard G191 about these G3778 things G3778.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:12 -

[fn]At the hands G5495 of the apostles G652 many G4183 [fn]signs G4592 and wonders G5059 were taking G1096 place G1096 among G1722 the people G2992; and they were all G3956 [fn]together G3661 in Solomon’s G4672 [fn]portico G4745.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:13 - But none G3762 of the rest G3062 dared G5111 to associate G2853 with them; however G235, the people G2992 held G3170 them in G3170 high G3170 esteem G3170.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:14 - And increasingly G3123 believers G4100 in the Lord G2962, large G4128 numbers G4128 of men G435 and women G1135, were being added G4369 to their number,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:15 - to G5620 such G5620 an G5620 extent G5620 that G5620 they even G2532 carried G1627 the sick G772 out G1627 into the streets G4116 and laid G5087 them on cots G6055 and pallets G2895, so G2443 that G2443 when Peter G4074 came G2064 by at G2579 least G2579 his shadow G4639 might fall G1982 on any G5100 of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:16 - The [fn]people G4128 from the cities G4172 in the vicinity G4038 of Jerusalem G2419 were coming G4905 together G4905 as G2532 well G2532, bringing G5342 people who were sick G772 [fn]or G2532 tormented G3791 with unclean G169 spirits G4151, and they were all G537 being healed G2323.

But the high G749 priest G749 stood G450 up G450, along G2532 with all G3956 his associates G4862 (that is the sect G139 of the Sadducees G4523), and they were filled G4130 with jealousy G2205.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:18 - They laid G1911 hands G5495 on the apostles G652 and put G5087 them in a public G1219 prison G5084.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:20 - “Go G4198, stand G2476 and [fn]speak G2980 to the people G2992 in the temple G2413 area [fn]the whole G3956 message G4487 of this G3778 Life G2222.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:21 - Upon hearing G191 this, they entered G1525 into the temple G2413 area about G5259 daybreak G3722 and began to teach G1321.

Now G1161 when the high G749 priest G749 and his associates G4862 came G1525, they called G4779 the [fn]Council G4892 together G4779, that is, all G3956 the Senate G1087 of the sons G5207 of Israel G2474, and sent G649 orders to the prison G1201 for them to be brought G71.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:22 - But the officers G5257 who came G3854 did not find G2147 them in the prison G5438; and they returned G390 and reported G518,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:23 - saying G3004, “We found G2147 the prison G1201 locked G2808 quite G3956 securely G803 and the guards G5441 standing G2476 at the doors G2374; but when we opened G455 them, we found G2147 no G3762 one G3762 inside G2080.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:25 - But someone G5100 came G3854 and reported G518 to them, “The men G435 whom G3739 you put G5087 in prison G5438 are standing G2476 in the temple G2413 area and teaching G1321 the people G2992!”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:26 - Then G5119 the captain G4755 went G565 along G565 with the officers G5257 and proceeded to bring G71 them back without G3756 G3326 violence G970 (for they were G5399 afraid G5399 of the people G2992, that they might be stoned G3034).
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:27 -

When they had brought G71 them, they had them stand G2476 [fn]before G1722 the Council G4892. The high G749 priest G749 interrogated G1905 them,

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:28 - saying G3004, “We gave G3853 you strict G3852 orders G3852 not to continue teaching G1321 in this G3778 name G3686, and [fn]yet G2400, you have filled G4137 Jerusalem G2419 with your teaching G1322 and intend G1014 to bring G1863 this G3778 Man’s G444 blood G129 upon us.”

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:30 - “The God G2316 of our fathers G3962 raised G1453 up G1453 Jesus G2424, whom G3739 you put G1315 to G1315 death G1315 by hanging G2910 Him on [fn]a cross G3586.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:32 - “And we are witnesses G3144 [fn]of these G3778 things G4487; and so is the Holy G40 Spirit G4151, whom G3739 God G2316 has given G1325 to those G3588 who obey G3980 Him.”

Gamaliel’s Counsel

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:33 -

But when they heard G191 this, they became G1282 infuriated G1282 and nearly decided G1011 to execute G337 them.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:34 - But a Pharisee G5330 named G3686 Gamaliel G1059, a teacher G3547 of G3547 the G3547 Law G3547, respected G5093 by all G3956 the people G2992, stood G450 up G450 in the Council G4892 and gave G2753 orders G2753 to put G4160 the men G444 outside G1854 for a short G1024 time G1024.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:35 - And he said G3004 to them, “Men G435 of Israel G2475, be G4337 careful G4337 G1438 as to what G5101 you are G3195 about G3195 to G3195 do G4238 with these G3778 men G444.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:36 - “For, some G3778 time G2250 ago G4253 Theudas G2333 appeared G450, claiming G3004 to be somebody G5100, and a group G706 of about G5613 four G5071 hundred G5071 men G435 joined G6076 him. [fn]But he was killed G337, and all G3956 who G3745 followed G3982 him were dispersed G1262 and came G1096 to nothing G3762.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:37 - “After G3326 this G3778 man G3778, Judas G2455 of Galilee G1057 appeared G450 in the days G2250 of the census G582 and drew G868 away G868 some people G2992 after G3694 him; he also G2548 perished G622, and all G3956 those who G3745 followed G3982 him were scattered G1287.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:38 - “And so in the present G3568 case G3568, I say G3004 to you, stay G868 away G868 from these G3778 men G444 and leave G863 them alone G863, for if G1437 the source G1537 of this G3778 plan G1012 or G2228 [fn]movement G2041 is men G444, it will be overthrown G2647;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:39 - but if G1487 the source G1537 is God G2316, you will not be able G1410 to overthrow G2647 them; or G3379 else G3379 you may even G2532 be found G2147 fighting G2314 against G2314 God G2314.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:40 -

They followed G3982 his advice G3982; and after calling G4341 the apostles G652 in, they flogged G1194 them and ordered G3853 them not to [fn]speak G2980 in the name G3686 of Jesus G2424, and then released G630 them.

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:41 - So G3767 they went G4198 on G4198 their way G4198 from the presence G4383 of the [fn]Council G4892, rejoicing G5463 that they had been considered G2661 worthy G2661 to suffer G818 shame G818 for His name G3686.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 5:42 - And every G3956 day G2250, in the temple G2413 and [fn]from house G3624 to house G3624, they did not stop G3973 teaching G1321 and preaching G2097 the good G2097 news G2097 of Jesus G2424 as the [fn]Christ G5547.
