Acts 5:4-15 in English

⁴ While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

⁵ And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it.

⁶ And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

⁸ And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁹ But Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

¹⁰ And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹¹ And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.

¹² 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 But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;

¹⁴ and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women:

¹⁵ insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.

⁴ 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 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

⁶ And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

⁸ And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁹ 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 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 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

¹² 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 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

¹⁴ And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

¹⁵ 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.

⁴ Whiles it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

⁵ And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it.

⁶ And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

⁸ And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁹ But 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 they shall carry thee out.

¹⁰ And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹¹ And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.

¹² 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 But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;

¹⁴ and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;

¹⁵ insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.

⁴ Before you (sg) sold that land, you truly owned RHQ it. And after you sold it, you could RHQ certainly still have used the money any way you wanted to. So why did you (sg) ever think RHQ about doing this wicked thing? You were not merely trying to deceive us! No, you tried to deceive God himself!!”

⁵ When Ananias heard that, immediately he fell down dead. So all who were there who heard about Ananias' death became terrified PRS.

⁶ Some young men came in, wrapped his body in a sheet, and carried it out and buried it.

⁷ About three hours later, his wife came in, but she did not know what had happened.

⁸ As Peter showed her the money that Ananias had brought, he asked her, “Tell me, is this the amount of money you two received for the land you sold?” She said, “Yes, that's what we(exc) received.”

⁹ So Peter said to her, “ You both did a terrible thing! You two agreed RHQ to try to determine if you could do that without the Spirit of the Lord God revealing to anyone that you two tried to deceive them! Listen! Do you(sg) hear the footsteps SYN of the men who buried your husband? They are right outside this door, and they will carry your corpse out to bury it, too!”

¹⁰ Immediately Sapphira fell down dead at Peter's feet. Then the young men came in. When they saw that she was dead, they carried her body out and buried it beside her husband's body.

¹¹ So all the believers in Jerusalem became greatly frightened PRS because of what God had done to Ananias and Sapphira. And all the others who heard people tell about those things also became greatly frightened.

¹² God was enabling the apostles to do many amazing miracles among the people. All the believers were meeting together regularly in the temple courtyard at the place called Solomon's Porch.

¹³ All of the other people who had not yet believed in Jesus were afraid to associate with the believers, because they knew that if they did anything evil, God would punish them, as well as revealing it to the believers. However, those people continued to greatly respect the believers.

¹⁴ Many more men and women started believing in the Lord Jesus, and they joined the group of believers.

¹⁵ The apostles were doing amazing miracles, so people were bringing those who were sick into the streets, and laying them on stretchers and mats, in order that when Peter came by he would touch them, or at least his shadow might fall upon some of them and heal them.

⁴ While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

⁵ Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

⁶ The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁸ Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁹ But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

¹⁰ She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹¹ Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

¹² By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹³ None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.

¹⁴ More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

¹⁵ They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

⁴ While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

⁵ Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

⁶ The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁸ Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁹ But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

¹⁰ She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹¹ Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

¹² By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹³ None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.

¹⁴ More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

¹⁵ They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

⁴ While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

⁵ Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

⁶ The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁸ Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁹ But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

¹⁰ She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹¹ Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

¹² By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done amongst the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹³ None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honoured them.

¹⁴ More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

¹⁵ They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

⁴ While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.

⁵ And at these words, Ananias went down on the earth, and his life went from him: and great fear came on all who were present.

⁶ And the young men went and made ready his body, and took it out, and put it in the earth.

⁷ And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.

⁸ And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.

⁹ But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.

¹⁰ And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband.

¹¹ Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things.

¹² Now a number of signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all together in Solomon's covered way.

¹³ The others, in fear, kept back from joining them: but the people made much of them;

¹⁴ And a great number of men and women had faith, and were joined to the Lord;

¹⁵ And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.

⁴ While it remained did it not remain to thee? and sold, was it not in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

⁵ And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard it.

⁶ And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him.

⁷ And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁸ And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.

⁹ And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

¹⁰ And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.

¹¹ And great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.

¹² And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch,

¹³ but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them;

¹⁴ and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;)

¹⁵ so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them.

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.

⁵ And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.

⁶ And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.

⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁸ And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.

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.

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.

¹¹ And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.

¹² 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 But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.

¹⁴ And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:

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.

⁴ While it remained unsold, did it not remain yours? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why have you purposed this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.”

⁵ Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. And great fear came upon all those who heard of it.

⁶ And the young men rose up and covered him up, carried him out, and buried him.

⁷ And it happened about three hours later, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁸ And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁹ Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that it was agreed by you to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out as well.”

¹⁰ Then immediately she fell down beside his feet and died. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her with her husband.

¹¹ And great fear fell on all the church, and upon all those who were hearing these things.

¹² Now by the hands of the apostles, many signs and wonders took place among the people. And they were all with one mind in Solomon's Porch.

¹³ But none of the rest dared join them, but the people were magnifying them.

¹⁴ And more than ever, believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

¹⁵ so that they were bringing the sick out into the streets, and placing them on couches and pallets, so that as Peter was passing, at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

⁴ While it remained unsold was it not yours, and once sold was it not in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You did not lie to men but to God.”

⁵ Well upon hearing these words Ananias fell down and expired! (Great fear came on all who heard these things.)

⁶ So the young men got up and wrapped him, and carrying him out they buried him.

⁷ Now after an interval of some three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

⁸ So Peter addressed her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” So she said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁹ Peter said to her: “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”

¹⁰ So she immediately fell down at his feet and expired! So upon entering the young men found her dead, and carrying her out they buried her beside her husband.

¹¹ So great fear came on the whole assembly and on all who heard these things.

¹² Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all in Solomon's Porch with one purpose.

¹³ None of the rest dared to join them, but the people were magnifying them.

¹⁴ Believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

¹⁵ to the point that they kept carrying the sick into the streets, placing them on cots and pallets, so that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

⁴ While you had the land, didn't it belong to you? And after you sold it, didn't you still have control over what you did with the money? Why did you decide to do this? You haven't lied to human beings, but to God!”

⁵ Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. Everyone who heard what happened was terrified.

⁶ Some of the young men got up and wrapped him in a shroud. Then they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ About three hours later his wife arrived, not knowing what had happened.

⁸ Peter asked her, “Tell me, did you sell the land for this price?” “Yes, that was the price,” she replied.

⁹ Then Peter told her, “How could you agree together to swindle the Spirit of the Lord? Look, those who buried your husband are just returning, and they'll carry you out too!”

¹⁰ Immediately she fell down dead at his feet. The young men came back in and found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

¹¹ Great fear spread through the whole church, as well as among everyone who heard what had happened.

¹² Many miraculous signs were performed among the people by the apostles. All the believers used to meet together in Solomon's porch.

¹³ Nobody else dared to join them even though they were greatly respected.

¹⁴ However, many men and women came to believe in the Lord.

¹⁵ As a result, people brought those who were sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that as Peter passed by his shadow might fall on them.

⁴ Whiles it remained, appertained it not vnto thee? and after it was solde, was it not in thine owne power? howe is it that thou hast conceiued this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God.

⁵ Now when Ananias heard these wordes, he fell downe, and gaue vp the ghost. Then great feare came on all them that heard these things.

⁶ And the yong men rose vp, and tooke him vp, and caried him out, and buried him.

⁷ And it came to passe about the space of three houres after, that his wife came in, ignorant of that which was done.

⁸ And Peter sayd vnto her, Tell me, solde ye the land for so much? And she sayd, Yea, for so much.

⁹ Then Peter sayde vnto her, Why haue ye agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? beholde, the feete of them which haue buried thine husband, are at the doore, and shall carie thee out.

¹⁰ Then she fell downe straightway at his feete, and yeelded vp the ghost: and the yong men came in, and found her dead, and caried her out, and buried her by her husband.

¹¹ And great feare came on all the Church, and on as many as heard these things.

¹² Thus by the hands of the Apostles were many signes and wonders shewed among the people (and they were all with one accorde in Salomons porche.

¹³ And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.

¹⁴ Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)

¹⁵ In so much that they brought the sicke into the streetes, and layd them on beds and couches, that at the least way the shadowe of Peter, when he came by, might shadow some of them.

⁴ 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 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

⁶ And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

⁸ And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁹ 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 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 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

¹² 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 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

¹⁴ And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

¹⁵ 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.

⁴ While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God.

⁵ And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.

⁶ And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁸ Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.

⁹ And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.

¹⁰ And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.

¹¹ And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard of these things.

¹² And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

¹³ But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;

¹⁴ and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;

¹⁵ so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them.

⁴ While it was unsold, was not it your own? And after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to people, but to God!”

⁵ As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and everyone who heard of it was appalled.

⁶ The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.

⁷ After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

⁸ “Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”

⁹ Then Peter said, “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”

¹⁰ Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter's feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband's side.

¹¹ The whole church and all who heard of these events were appalled.

¹² Many signs and wonders continued to occur amongst the people, through the instrumentality of the apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;

¹³ but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,

¹⁴ and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.

¹⁵ The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on someone of them.

⁴ While it was unsold, was not it your own? And after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to people, but to God!”

⁵ As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and everyone who heard of it was appalled.

⁶ The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.

⁷ After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

⁸ “Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”

⁹ Then Peter said, “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”

¹⁰ Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter's feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband's side.

¹¹ The whole church and all who heard of these events were appalled.

¹² Many signs and wonders continued to occur among the people, through the instrumentality of the apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;

¹³ but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,

¹⁴ and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.

¹⁵ The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on someone of them.

⁴ Look, that land was yours and you didn’t have to sell it. But you sold it and got some money. Then you could do whatever you liked with that money. You didn’t have to bring it to us. So why did you think you could trick us and tell us that this little bit of money was all you got for that land? You lied to us, and you lied to God too.”

⁵ As soon as Ananias heard Peter say that he fell down and died. A lot of people heard about what happened and they were frightened.

⁶ And the young men there got up and wrapped up his body in cloth, then they took it out of the house and buried it.

⁷ About 3 hours later the wife of Ananias came into that house, but she didn’t know that her husband was dead.

⁸ Peter asked her, “Can you tell me, is this all the money that you and Ananias got for that land?” She said, “Yes, that’s all the money.”

⁹ So Peter said to her, “Why did you and your husband agree with each other to try to trick the Holy Spirit? Listen. Your husband is dead, and the men that buried him are near the door right now, and they will carry you out too.”

¹⁰ Right then, Sapphira fell down and died in front of Peter. Then the young men came in and saw her dead, so they took her out and buried her next to her husband.

¹¹ Then all the Christians were really frightened. And all the other people that heard about those things were really frightened too.

¹² The close followers of Jesus kept doing powerful things to show everyone that God is powerful. All the Christians kept meeting together in God’s ceremony house, in the part called Solomon’s shade area.

¹³ There were other people in that city that were too frightened to join the Christians. But most of the people thought the Christians were really good people,

¹⁴ and some of them kept listening, and then a lot of men and women started believing in Jesus, and then they joined up with the Christians.

¹⁵ A lot of people saw the close followers of Jesus do powerful things, so they brought sick people and put them on beds and mats on the roads. They thought, “Even if Peter doesn’t touch them maybe his shadow will touch them as he walks past them, and that will make them better.”

⁴ Pertayned it not vnto the only and after it was solde was not the pryce in thyne awne power? How is it that thou hast conceaved this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lyed vnto men but vnto God.

⁵ When Ananias herde these wordes. he fell doune and gave vp the goost. And great feare came on all the that these thinges hearde.

⁶ And the yonge men roose vp and put him a parte and caryed him out and buryed him.

⁷ And it fortuned as it were aboute the space of .iii. houres after that his wyfe came in ignoraunt of that which was done.

⁸ And Peter sayde vnto her: Tell me gave ye the londe for so moche? And she sayde: ye for so moche

⁹ Then Peter sayde vnto her: why have ye agreed to gether to tept the sprete of the Lorde? Beholde the fete of them which have buryed thy husbande are at the dore and shall cary the out.

¹¹ And great feare came on all the congregacion and on as many as hearde it.

¹² By the hondes of the Apostles were many signes and wondres shewed amonge the people. And they were all together with one acorde in Salomons porche.

¹³ And of other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neverthelater the people magnyfied them.

⁴ While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own, and after it was sold, was it not in your control? How is it that you thought of this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.”

⁵ Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard it.

⁶ The young men came forward and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ After about three hours, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

⁸ Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁹ Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

¹⁰ She immediately fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

¹¹ Great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard these things.

¹² Many signs and wonders were taking place among the people through the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon's Porch.

¹³ But no one else had the courage to join them; however, they were held in high esteem by the people.

¹⁴ Still more believers were being added to the Lord, multitudes of men and women,

¹⁵ so that they even carried the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, so that as Peter came by, his shadow might fall on some of them.

⁴ While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

⁵ Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

⁶ The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁸ Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁹ But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

¹⁰ She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹¹ Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

¹² By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹³ None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.

¹⁴ More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

¹⁵ They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

⁴ While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

⁴ While it remained, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

⁵ And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all them that heard these things.

⁶ And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him .

⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

⁸ And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.

⁹ Then Peter said to her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

¹⁰ Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in, and found her dead, and carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

¹¹ And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

¹² 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 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

¹⁴ And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

¹⁵ So 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.

⁴ While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

⁵ Hananiah, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

⁶ The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁷ About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁴ Whether it unsold was not thine; and when it was sold, it was in thy power? Why hast thou put this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

⁵ Ananias heard these words, and felled down, and was dead or and died. And great dread was made on all that heard.

⁶ And young men rose, and moved him away, and bare him out, and buried.

⁷ And there was made a space of three hours, and his wife knew not that thing that was done, and entered.

⁸ And Peter answered to her, Woman, say to me, whether ye sold the field for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁹ And Peter said to her, What befelled to you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thine husband be at the door, and they shall bear thee out.

¹⁰ Anon she felled down at his feet, and died. And the young men entered, and found her dead, and they bare her out, and buried her to her husband.

¹¹ And great dread was made in all the church, and into all that heard these things.

¹² And by the hands of the apostles signs and many wonders were made in the people. And all were of one accord in the porch of Solomon.

¹³ But no man of others durst join himself with them, but the people magnified them.

¹⁴ And the multitude of men and of women believing in the Lord was more increased,

¹⁵ so that they brought out sick men into streets, and laid in little beds and couches, that when Peter came, namely the shadow of him should shadow each of them, and they should be or were delivered from all their sicknesses.

⁴ Whether it unsold was not thine; and when it was sold, it was in thy power? Why hast thou put this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

⁵ Ananias heard these words, and felled down, and was dead or and died. And great dread was made on all that heard (about this), (or And great and fearful reverence came upon all who heard about this).

⁶ And young men rose (up), and moved him away, and bare him out, and buried (him).

⁷ And there was made a space of three hours, and his wife knew not that thing that was done, and entered.

⁸ And Peter answered to her, Woman, say to me, whether ye sold the field for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁹ And Peter said to her, What befelled to you or What soothly came together to you, or accorded, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? (or What befell to you, to test the Spirit of the Lord?) Lo! the feet of them that have buried thine husband be at the door, and they shall bear thee out.

¹⁰ Anon she felled down at his feet, and died. And the young men entered, and found her dead, and they bare her out, and buried her to (or beside) her husband. (At once she fell down at his feet, and died. And the young men returned, and found her dead, and they carried her out, and buried her beside her husband.)

¹⁴ And the multitude of men and of women believing in the Lord was more increased,

¹⁵ so that they brought out sick men into (the) streets, and laid (them) in (or on) little beds and couches, (so) that when Peter came, namely the shadow of him should shadow each of them, and they should be delivered from their sicknesses (or and they would be released from their sicknesses). so that into (the) streets they brought out sick men, and put (them) in little beds and couches, (so) that when Peter came, namely the shadow of him should shadow each of them, and they were delivered from all sicknesses.

⁴ while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been sold, in thy authority was it not? why is it that thou didst put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to God;'

⁵ and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things,

⁶ and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried him.

⁷ And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what hath happened, came in,

⁸ and Peter answered her, 'Tell me if for so much ye sold the place;' and she said, 'Yes, for so much.'

⁹ And Peter said unto her, 'How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;'

¹⁰ and she fell down presently at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried her by her husband;

¹¹ and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.

¹² And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were with one accord all in the porch of Solomon;

¹⁴ (and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,)

¹⁵ so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and to lay them upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even his shadow might overshadow some one of them;
