fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told, |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within. |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow. |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned. |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, |
| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. |
| 29 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. |
| 30 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. |
| 31 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. |
| 32 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. |
| 33 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them. |
| 34 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; |
| 35 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. |
| 36 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. |
| 37 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. |
| 38 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: |
| 39 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. |
| 40 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. |
| 41 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. |
| 42 |
fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2KJV_Bible_EN:TextData And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. |
