drb @Acts:5:1 @But a certain man named Ananias , with Saphira his wife , sold a piece of land , drb @Acts:5:2 @And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land , his wife being privy thereunto : and bringing a certain part of it , laid it at the feet of the apostles . drb @Acts:5:3 @But Peter said : Ananias , why hath Satan tempted thy heart , that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost , and by fraud keep part of the price of the land ? drb @Acts:5:4 @Whilst it remained , did it not remain to thee ? and after it was sold , was it not in thy power ? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart ? Thou hast not lied to men , but to God . drb @Acts:5:5 @And Ananias hearing these words , fell down , and gave up the ghost . And there came great fear upon all that heard it . drb @Acts:5:6 @And the young men rising up , removed him , and carrying him out , buried him . drb @Acts:5:7 @And it was about the space of three hours after , when his wife , not knowing what had happened , came in . drb @Acts:5:8 @And Peter said to her : Tell me , woman , whether you sold the land for so much ? And she said : Yea , for so much . drb @Acts:5:9 @And Peter said unto her : Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord ? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door , and they shall carry thee out . drb @Acts:5:10 @Immediately she fell down before his feet , and gave up the ghost . And the young men coming in , found her dead : and carried her out , and buried her by her husband . drb @Acts:5:11 @And there came great fear upon the whole church , and upon all that heard these things . drb @Acts:5:12 @And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people drb @Acts:5:13 @But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them ; but the people magnified them . drb @Acts:5:14 @And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord , was more increased : drb @Acts:5:15 @Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets , and laid them on beds and couches , that when Peter came , his shadow at the least , might overshadow any of them , and they might be delivered from their infirmities . drb @Acts:5:16 @And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighboring cities , bringing sick persons , and such as were troubled with unclean spirits ; who were all healed . drb @Acts:5:17 @Then the high prist rising up , and all they that were with him , (which is the heresy of the Sadducees ,) were filled with envy . drb @Acts:5:18 @And they laid hands on the apostles , and put them in the common prison . drb @Acts:5:19 @But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison , and leading them out , said : drb @Acts:5:20 @Go , and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life . drb @Acts:5:21 @Who having heard this , early in the morning , entered into the temple , and taught . And the high priest coming , and they that were with him , called together the council , and all the ancients of the children of Israel ; and they sent to the prison to have them brought . drb @Acts:5:22 @But when the ministers came , and opening the prison , found them not there , they returned and told , drb @Acts:5:23 @Saying : The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence , and the keepers standing before the doors ; but opening it , we found no man within . drb @Acts:5:24 @Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words , they were in doubt concerning them , what would come to pass . drb @Acts:5:25 @But one came and told them : Behold , the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing , and teaching the people . drb @Acts:5:26 @Then went the officer with the ministers , and brought them without violence ; for they feared the people , lest they should be stoned . drb @Acts:5:27 @And when they had brought them , they set them before the council . And the high priest asked them , drb @Acts:5:28 @Saying : Commanding we commanded you , that you should not teach in this name ; and behold , you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine , and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us . drb @Acts:5:29 @But Peter and the apostles answering , said : We ought to obey God , rather than men . drb @Acts:5:30 @The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus , whom you put to death , hanging him upon a tree . drb @Acts:5:31 @Him hath God exalted with his right hand , to be Prince and Saviour , to give repentance to Israel , and remission of sins . drb @Acts:5:32 @And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost , whom God hath given to all that obey him . drb @Acts:5:33 @When they had heard these things , they were cut to the heart , and they thought to put them to death . drb @Acts:5:34 @But one in the council rising up , a Pharisee , named Gamaliel , a doctor of the law , respected by all the people , commanded the men to be put forth a little while . drb @Acts:5:35 @And he said to them : Ye men of Israel , take heed to yourselves what you intend to do , as touching these men . drb @Acts:5:36 @For before these days rose up Theodas , affirming himself to be somebody , to whom a number of men , about four hundred , joined themselves : who was slain ; and all that believed him were scattered , and brought to nothing . drb @Acts:5:37 @After this man , rose up Judas of Galilee , in the days of the enrolling , and drew away the people after him : he also perished ; and all , even as many as consented to him , were dispersed . drb @Acts:5:38 @And now , therefore , I say to you , refrain from these men , and let them alone ; for if this council or this work be of men , it will come to nought ; drb @Acts:5:39 @But if it be of God , you cannot overthrow it , lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God . And they consented to him . drb @Acts:5:40 @And calling in the apostles , after they had scourged them , they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus ; and they dismissed them . drb @Acts:5:41 @And they indeed went from the presence of the council , rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus . drb @Acts:5:42 @And every day they ceased not in the temple , and from house to house , to teach and preach Christ Jesus .
