\subsection{Acts 5}
\VS{1} Now a certain man Ananaias by name with Saphira his wife sold [their] possessions, 
\VS{2} and kept back from the price, the wife also being aware, and having 
brought [it], placed [a] certain part beside the feet of the apostles. 
\VS{3} But 
Peter said: Ananaias, why has Satan filled your heart for you to lie to the 
Holy Spirit and to keep back from the price of the field? 
\VS{4} Did it not 
remain to you only and was [that] sold not in your authority? Why then was this 
deed placed in your heart? You did not lie to men but to God. 
\VS{5} Now 
Ananaias hearing these words, having fallen, he breathed out his last, and 
great fear came to pass upon all those hearing. 
\VS{6} So having stood up, 
the young men covered him, and having carried [him] out buried [him]. 
\VS{7} Now it 
came to pass [about] the interval of three hours, his wife also came in not knowing 
what came to pass. 
\VS{8} So Peter answered to her: Tell me, if the field 
rendered this much. Now she said: Yes, this much. 
\VS{9} So Peter said to 
her: Why was it agreed to you [both] to test the spirit of [the] Lord? Behold the feet 
of those having buried your husband [are] upon the door and they will carry you 
out. 
\VS{10} And she immediately fell before his feet and breathed out her 
last. So having come in, the young men found her dead, and having carried 
[her] out buried her with her husband. 
\VS{11} And great fear came to pass upon 
the whole assembly\fnEkklhsia{} and upon all having heard these [things].

\VS{12} Now through the hands of the apostles were coming to pass many signs 
and wonders among the people, and they were all with one purpose in the 
portico of Solomon. 
\VS{13} But none of the rest were daring to be joined to 
them, but the people were magnifying them; 
\VS{14} but rather they were 
being added to [those] believing in the Lord, [a] multitude of men and women, 
\VS{15} so that [they were] even bringing the feeble into the streets and placing [them] upon mattresses and pallets, in order that when Peter comes [his] shadow overshadow any of them. 
\VS{16} And the multitude was being gathered round [about] the cities 
of Jerusalem, bringing feeble [ones] and [those] tormented by unclean spirits, all of 
whom were being healed. 
\VS{17} Now the chief priest and all those with him, 
those being the sect of the Pharisees, having stood, they were filled with 
jealousy, 
\VS{18} and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in 
prison publicly. 
\VS{19} Now [an] angel of [the] Lord during the night opened the 
doors of the jail, and having brought them out he said: 
\VS{20} Be going, and having stood, be speaking in the temple to the people all 
the words of this zoe-life\fnZoe{}. 
\VS{21} So having heard they went out near dawn into the temple 
and were teaching. Now the chief priest and those with him being 
present\footnote{or ``having arrived''} called together the council, and all 
the council of elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them 
to be brought. 
\VS{22} Now the officers having arrived did not find them in 
the jail. So having returned they reported, 
\VS{23} saying that, We found 
the prison shut in all security, and the guards standing at the doors, but 
having opened we found no one inside. 
\VS{24} Now as the chief of the temple 
and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed 
concerning them what might have come to pass with respect to this. 
\VS{25} 
Now a certain man having arrived reported to them that, Behold the men, who 
were placed in the jail, are in the temple standing and teaching the people. 
\VS{26} Then having departed the chief with the officers were bringing them, 
not with force, for they were fearing the people, [that] they not be stoned. 
\VS{27} So having brought them they stood [them] in the council. And the chief 
priest asked them, 
\VS{28} saying: With command we commanded you not to be 
teaching upon this name, and behold you have filled Jerusalem with your 
teaching, and you want to bring on us the blood of this man. 
\VS{29} But 
Peter and the apostles answering said: It is necessary to be obeying God 
rather than men. 
\VS{30} God of our fathers has raised Jesus, on whom you 
laid violent hands, having hung [him] upon [the] tree. 
\VS{31} This prince and savior 
has God exalted to his right [hand] to give repentance to Israel and 
allowance\footnote{or ``forgiveness''} from sins. 
\VS{32} And you are 
witnesses of these words, and [so is] the Holy Spirit which God has given to those 
obeying him. 
\VS{33} Now having heard they were infuriated\footnote{or ``cut 
to the quick''} and wanted to do away with them. 
\VS{34} Now a certain 
Pharisee in the council by name Gamaliel, [a] teacher of the law honored by all 
the people, commanded them outside to do little [to] the men, 
\VS{35} and said 
to them: Be giving heed to yourselves upon these men what you are [about] to be 
doing. 
\VS{36} For before these days rose Theudas, saying himself to be 
something, to whom [a] number of men [about] four hundred attached themselves, who was 
done away with, and all as many as were persuaded to him were dispersed, and 
it came to pass to nothing. 
\VS{37} After this arose Judas the Galileean in 
the days of the census and mislead [the] people after him, and that [one] perished, 
and all as many as were persuaded to him were scattered. 
\VS{38} And with 
respect to now I say to you: Withdraw from these men and be allowing them, 
for if this intention or this word be from men, it will stop. 
\VS{39} But if 
it is from God, you will not be able to stop them, lest you be found 
fighters against God. Now they were persuaded to him, 
\VS{40} and having 
called upon the disciples, having beat them, they commanded [them] not to be 
speaking upon the name of Jesus and dismissed them. 
\VS{41} And indeed 
therefore they were going from the face of the council rejoicing, that they 
were considered worthy to be dishonored in behalf of his name. 
\VS{42} And 
every day in the temple, and [house] by house they were not ceasing teaching and 
good-newsing the Christ Jesus.
