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.

2and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife's full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles' feet.

2With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

3But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?

3Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?

4"While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

4Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”

5And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it.

5On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.

6The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.

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

7Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

7About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.

8And Peter responded to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price?" And she said, "Yes, that was the price."

8“Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”

9Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well."

9“How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

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

10At that instant 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.

11And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things.

11And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.

12At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's portico.

12The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.

13But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem.

13Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.

14And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number,

14Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.

15to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them.

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

16Also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.

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

17But the high priest rose up, along with all his associates (that is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.

17Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out

18They laid hands on the apostles and put them in a public jail.

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

19But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said,

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

20"Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life."

20“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”

21Upon hearing this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest and his associates came, they called the Council together, even all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent orders to the prison house for them to be brought.

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

22But the officers who came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and reported back,

22But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:

23saying, "We found the prison house locked quite securely and the guards standing at the doors; but when we had opened up, we found no one inside."

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

24Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what would come of this.

24When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.

25But someone came and reported to them, "The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!"

25Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”

26Then the captain went along with the officers and proceeded to bring them back without violence (for they were afraid of the people, that they might be stoned).

26At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.

27When they had brought them, they stood them before the Council. The high priest questioned them,

27They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.

28saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon 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 responsible for this man’s blood.”

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

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

30"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.

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

31"He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

31God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

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

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

33But when they heard this, they were cut to the quick and intended to kill them.

33When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.

34But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, respected by all the people, stood up in the Council and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time.

34But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.

35And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men.

35“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.

36"For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

36Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.

37"After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.

37After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.

38"So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown;

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

39but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God."

39But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”

40They took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them.

40At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

41So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name.

41The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

42And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

42Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
