\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.
