3 But Peter said, “Ananias,
why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy
Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land? 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 the least his shadow might overshadow some of them. 16 The multitude also came
together from the cities around
Jerusalem, bringing sick
people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits:
and they were all healed.
17 But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy 18 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody. 19 But an angel of the Lord opened
the prison doors by night, and brought them
out and said, 20 “Go stand
and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this
life.”
21 When they heard this, they
entered into the temple about
daybreak and taught. But the high priest came,
and those who 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.
