Acts 5:1-16 ▼

1 And a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2 And separated from the price, his wife also knowing; and having brought a certain part, laid at the feet of the sent.

3 And Peter said, Ananias, wherefore filled Satan thy heart, for thee to belie the Holy Spirit, and separate from the price of the farm.

4 Remaining, did it not remain to thee? and sold, it was in thy power: for what hast thou put this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

5 And Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, he expired: and great fear was upon all them hearing these things.

6 And the younger having risen up, drew him together, and having carried out, interred.

7 And there was an interval of about three hours, and his wife not knowing that done, came in.

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

9 And Peter said to her, For what was it agreed by you to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them having interred thy husband at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

10 And she fell immediately at his feet, and expired: and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried out, interred near her husband.

11 And great fear was upon the whole church, and upon all having heard these things.

12 And by the bands of the sent were many signs and wonders among the people; (and all were unanimously in Solomon's porch.

13 And of them remaining none dared join them: but the people magnified them.

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

15 So that the sick were brought into the streets, and laid upon beds and couches, that Peter coming, even the shadow might overshadow certain of them.

16 And a multitude also came together of them all around the cities to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and the molested by unclean spirits: who were all healed.
