Acts 5:40 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
2 and with his wife's knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?
4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
5 When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.
6 The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.
7 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 And Peter said to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." And she said, "Yes, for so much."
9 But Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to test 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 Immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.
12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico.
13 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem.
14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
16 The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
17 But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy
18 they arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,
20 "Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life."
21 And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council and all the senate of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported,
23 "We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them we found no one inside."
24 Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to.
25 And someone came and told them, "Look! The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people."
26 Then the captain with the officers went and brought them, but not by force, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,
28 saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us."
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
33 When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them.
34 But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while.
35 And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men.
36 For before these days Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.
37 After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered.
38 So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail;
39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!" So they took his advice,
40 and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.
42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
1 But G1161 a certain G5100 man G435 named G3686 Ananias, G367 with G4862 Sapphira G4551 his G848 wife, G1135 sold G4453 a possession, G2933
2 And G2532 kept back G3557 part of G575 the G3588 price, G5092 his G846 wife G1135 also G2532 being privy G4894 to it, and G2532 brought G5342 a certain G5100 part, G3313 and laid G5087 it at G3844 the G3588 apostles' G652 feet. G4228
3 But G1161 Peter G4074 said, G2036 Ananias, G367 why G1302 hath Satan G4567 filled G4137 thine G4675 heart G2588 to lie G5574 to the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and G2532 to keep back G3557 part of G575 the G3588 price G5092 of the G3588 land G5564 ?
4 While it remained, G3306 was it not thine own G3306 G3780 G4671 ? and G2532 after it was sold, G4097 was G5225 it not in G1722 thine own G4674 power G1849 G3754 ? why G5101 hast thou conceived G5087 this G5124 thing G4229 in G1722 thine G4675 heart G2588 ? thou hast not G3756 lied G5574 unto men, G444 but G235 unto God. G2316
5 And G1161 Ananias G367 hearing G191 these G5128 words G3056 fell down, G4098 and gave up the ghost: G1634 and G2532 great G3173 fear G5401 came G1096 on G1909 all G3956 them that heard G191 these things. G5023
6 And G1161 the G3588 young men G3501 arose, G450 wound him up G4958 G846 , and G2532 carried him out, G1627 and buried G2290 him.
7 And G1161 it was G1096 about G5613 the space G1292 of three G5140 hours G5610 after, when G2532 his G846 wife, G1135 not G3361 knowing G1492 what was done, G1096 came in. G1525
8 And G1161 Peter G4074 answered G611 unto her, G846 Tell G2036 me G3427 whether G1487 ye sold G591 the G3588 land G5564 for so much G5118 ? And G1161 she G3588 said, G2036 Yea, G3483 for so much. G5118
9 Then G1161 Peter G4074 said G2036 unto G4314 her, G846 How G5101 is it that G3754 ye G5213 have agreed together G4856 to tempt G3985 the G3588 Spirit G4151 of the Lord G2962 ? behold, G2400 the G3588 feet G4228 of them which have buried G2290 thy G4675 husband G435 are at G1909 the G3588 door, G2374 and G2532 shall carry thee out G1627 G4571 .
10 Then G1161 fell she down G4098 straightway G3916 at G3844 his G846 feet, G4228 and G2532 yielded up the ghost: G1634 and G1161 the G3588 young men G3495 came in, G1525 and found G2147 her G846 dead, G3498 and, G2532 carrying her forth, G1627 buried G2290 her by G4314 her G846 husband. G435
11 And G2532 great G3173 fear G5401 came G1096 upon G1909 all G3650 the G3588 church, G1577 and G2532 upon G1909 as many as G3956 heard G191 these things. G5023
12 And G1161 by G1223 the G3588 hands G5495 of the G3588 apostles G652 were many G4183 signs G4592 and G2532 wonders G5059 wrought G1096 among G1722 the G3588 people; G2992 ( and G2532 they were G2258 all G537 with one accord G3661 in G1722 Solomon's G4672 porch. G4745
13 And G1161 of the G3588 rest G3062 durst G5111 no man G3762 join G2853 himself to them: G846 but G235 the G3588 people G2992 magnified G3170 them. G846
14 And G1161 believers G4100 were the more G3123 added G4369 to the G3588 Lord, G2962 multitudes G4128 both G5037 of men G435 and G2532 women. G1135 )
15 Insomuch that G5620 they brought forth G1627 the G3588 sick G772 into G2596 the G3588 streets, G4113 and G2532 laid G5087 them on G1909 beds G2825 and G2532 couches, G2895 that G2443 at the least G2579 the G3588 shadow G4639 of Peter G4074 passing by G2064 might overshadow G1982 some G5100 of them. G846
16 G1161 There came G4905 also G2532 a multitude G4128 out of the G3588 cities G4172 round about G4038 unto G1519 Jerusalem, G2419 bringing G5342 sick folks, G772 and G2532 them which were vexed G3791 with G5259 unclean G169 spirits: G4151 and they G3748 were healed G2323 every one. G537
17 Then G1161 the G3588 high priest G749 rose up, G450 and G2532 all G3956 they G3588 that were with G4862 him, G846 (which is G5607 the sect G139 of the G3588 Sadducees, G4523 ) and were filled G4130 with indignation, G2205
18 And G2532 laid G1911 their G846 hands G5495 on G1909 the G3588 apostles, G652 and G2532 put G5087 them G848 in G1722 the common G1219 prison. G5084
19 But G1161 the angel G32 of the Lord G2962 by G1223 night G3571 opened G455 the G3588 prison G5438 doors, G2374 and G5037 brought them forth G1806 G846 , and said, G2036
20 Go G4198 G2532 , stand G2476 and speak G2980 in G1722 the G3588 temple G2411 to the G3588 people G2992 all G3956 the G3588 words G4487 of this G5026 life. G2222
21 And G1161 when they heard G191 that, they entered G1525 into G1519 the G3588 temple G2411 early in the morning G5259, G3722 and G2532 taught. G1321 But G1161 the G3588 high priest G749 came, G3854 and G2532 they G3588 that were with G4862 him, G846 and called the council together G4779 G3588, G4892 and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 senate G1087 of the G3588 children G5207 of Israel, G2474 and G2532 sent G649 to G1519 the G3588 prison G1201 to have them G846 brought. G71
22 But G1161 when the G3588 officers G5257 came, G3854 and found G2147 them G846 not G3756 in G1722 the G3588 prison, G5438 they G1161 returned, G390 and told, G518
23 Saying G3004 , The G3588 prison G1201 truly G3303 found G2147 we shut G2808 with G1722 all G3956 safety, G803 and G2532 the G3588 keepers G5441 standing G2476 without G1854 before G4253 the G3588 doors: G2374 but G1161 when we had opened, G455 we found G2147 no man G3762 within. G2080
24 Now G1161 when G5613 the G5037 G3739 high priest G2409 and G2532 the G3588 captain G4755 of the G3588 temple G2411 and G2532 the G3588 chief priests G749 heard G191 these G5128 things, G3056 they doubted G1280 of G4012 them G846 whereunto G5101 this G5124 would grow G1096 G302 .
25 Then G1161 came G3854 one G5100 and told G518 them, G846 saying, G3004 Behold, G2400 the G3588 men G435 whom G3739 ye put G5087 in G1722 prison G5438 are G1526 standing G2476 in G1722 the G3588 temple, G2411 and G2532 teaching G1321 the G3588 people. G2992
26 Then G5119 went G565 the G3588 captain G4755 with G4862 the G3588 officers, G5257 and brought G71 them G846 without G3326 G3756 violence: G970 for G1063 they feared G5399 the G3588 people, G2992 lest G3363 they should have been stoned. G3034
27 And G1161 when they had brought G71 them, G846 they set G2476 them before G1722 the G3588 council: G4892 and G2532 the G3588 high priest G749 asked G1905 them, G846
28 Saying G3004 , Did not G3756 we straitly command G3853 G3852 you G5213 that ye should not G3361 teach G1321 in G1909 this G5129 name G3686 ? and, G2532 behold, G2400 ye have filled G4137 Jerusalem G2419 with your G5216 doctrine, G1322 and G2532 intend G1014 to bring G1863 this G5127 man's G444 blood G129 upon G1909 us. G2248
29 Then G1161 Peter G4074 and G2532 the G3588 other apostles G652 answered G611 and said, G2036 We ought G1163 to obey G3980 God G2316 rather G3123 than G2228 men. G444
30 The G3588 God G2316 of our G2257 fathers G3962 raised up G1453 Jesus, G2424 whom G3739 ye G5210 slew G1315 and hanged G2910 on G1909 a tree. G3586
31 Him G5126 hath God G2316 exalted G5312 with his G848 right hand G1188 to be a Prince G747 and G2532 a Savior, G4990 for to give G1325 repentance G3341 to Israel, G2474 and G2532 forgiveness G859 of sins. G266
32 And G2532 we G2249 are G2070 his G846 witnesses G3144 of these G5130 things; G4487 and G2532 so is also G1161 the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 whom G3739 God G2316 hath given G1325 to them that obey G3980 him. G846
33 When G1161 they G3588 heard G191 that, they were cut G1282 to the heart, and G2532 took counsel G1011 to slay G337 them. G846
34 Then G1161 stood there up G450 one G5100 in G1722 the G3588 council, G4892 a Pharisee, G5330 named G3686 Gamaliel, G1059 a doctor of the law, G3547 had in reputation G5093 among all G3956 the G3588 people, G2992 and commanded G2753 to put G4160 the G3588 apostles G652 forth G1854 a little space G1024 G5100 ;
35 And G5037 said G2036 unto G4314 them, G846 Ye men G435 of Israel, G2475 take heed G4337 to yourselves G1438 what G5101 ye intend G3195 to do G4238 as touching G1909 these G5125 men. G444
36 For G1063 before G4253 these G5130 days G2250 rose up G450 Theudas, G2333 boasting G3004 himself G1438 to be G1511 somebody; G5100 to whom G3739 a number G706 of men, G435 about G5616 four hundred, G5071 joined G4347 themselves: who G3739 was slain; G337 and G2532 all, G3956 as many as G3745 obeyed G3982 him, G846 were scattered, G1262 and G2532 brought G1096 to G1519 naught. G3762
37 After G3326 this man G5126 rose up G450 Judas G2455 of Galilee G1057 in G1722 the G3588 days G2250 of the G3588 taxing, G582 and G2532 drew away G868 much G2425 people G2992 after G3694 him: G848 he also G2548 perished; G622 and G2532 all, G3956 even as many as G3745 obeyed G3982 him, G846 were dispersed. G1287
38 And G2532 now G3569 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 Refrain G868 from G575 these G5130 men, G444 and G2532 let them alone G1439 G846 : for G3754 if G1437 this G3778 counsel G1012 or G2228 this G5124 work G2041 be G5600 of G1537 men, G444 it will come to nought: G2647
39 But G1161 if G1487 it be G2076 of G1537 God, G2316 ye cannot G1410 G3756 overthrow G2647 it; G846 lest haply G3379 ye be found G2147 even G2532 to fight against God. G2314
40 And G1161 to him G846 they agreed: G3982 and G2532 when they had called G4341 the G3588 apostles, G652 and beaten G1194 them, they commanded G3853 that they should not G3361 speak G2980 in G1909 the G3588 name G3686 of Jesus, G2424 and G2532 let them go G630 G846 .
41 And G3767 G3303 they G3588 departed G4198 from G575 the presence G4383 of the G3588 council, G4892 rejoicing G5463 that G3754 they were counted worthy G2661 to suffer shame G818 for G5228 his G846 name. G3686
42 And G5037 daily G3956 G2250 in G1722 the G3588 temple, G2411 and G2532 in every house G2596 G3624 , they ceased G3973 not G3756 to teach G1321 and G2532 preach G2097 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547
