New International Version

1But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property.

1Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.

2However, he kept back part of the proceeds with his wife's knowledge, and brought a portion of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.

2With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.

3Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds from the field?

3Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?

4Wasn't it yours while you possessed it? And after it was sold, wasn't it at your disposal? Why is it that you planned this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God!"

4Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God."

5When he heard these words, Ananias dropped dead, and a great fear came on all who heard.

5When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.

6The young men got up, wrapped his body, carried him out, and buried him.

6Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

7There was an interval of about three hours; then his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. "

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

8Tell me," Peter asked her, "did you sell the field for this price?"" Yes," she said, "for that price."

8Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?" "Yes," she said, "that is the price."

9Then Peter said to her, "Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!"

9Peter said to her, "How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."

10Instantly she dropped dead at his feet. When the young men came in, they found her dead, carried her out, and buried her beside her husband.

10At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11Then great fear came on the whole church and on all who heard these things.

12Many signs and wonders were being done among the people through the hands of the apostles. By common consent they would all meet in Solomon's Colonnade.

13None of the rest dared to join them, but the people praised them highly.

14Believers were added to the Lord in increasing numbers--crowds of both men and women.

14Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.

15As a result, they would carry the sick out into the streets and lay them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

15As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

16In addition, a large group came together from the towns surrounding Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

16Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.

17Then the high priest took action. He and all his colleagues, those who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.

17Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.

18So they arrested the apostles and put them in the city jail.

18They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.

19But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail during the night, brought them out, and said,"

19But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out.

20Go and stand in the temple complex, and tell the people all about this life."

20"Go, stand in the temple courts," he said, "and tell the people all about this new life."

21In obedience to this, they entered the temple complex at daybreak and began to teach. When the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin--the full Senate of the sons of Israel--and sent orders to the jail to have them brought.

21At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin--the full assembly of the elders of Israel--and sent to the jail for the apostles.

22But when the temple police got there, they did not find them in the jail, so they returned and reported, "

23We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing in front of the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!"

23"We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside."

24As the commander of the temple police and the chief priests heard these things, they were baffled about them, as to what could come of this.

24On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.

25Someone came and reported to them, "Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple complex and teaching the people."

25Then someone came and said, "Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people."

26Then the commander went with the temple police and brought them in without force, because they were afraid the people might stone them.

26At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them.

27After they brought them in, they had them stand before the Sanhedrin, and the high priest asked, "

27The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest.

28Didn't we strictly order you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to bring this man's blood on us!"

28"We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood."

29But Peter and the apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than men.

30The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had murdered by hanging Him on a tree.

32We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him."

38And now, I tell you, stay away from these men and leave them alone. For if this plan or this work is of men, it will be overthrown;

38Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.

39but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even be found fighting against God." So they were persuaded by him.

39But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."

40After they called in the apostles and had them flogged, they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them.

40His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
