Ananias and Sapphira
5 But there was a certain man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. 2 He brought part of the money to the apostles, claiming it was the full amount. With his wife’s consent, he kept the rest.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. 4 The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren’t lying to us but to God!”
5 As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. 6 Then some young men got up, wrapped him in a sheet, and took him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Was this the price you and your husband received for your land?”
“Yes,” she replied, “that was the price.”
9 And Peter said, “How could the two of you even think of conspiring to test the Spirit of the Lord like this? The young men who buried your husband are just outside the door, and they will carry you out, too.”
10 Instantly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear gripped the entire church and everyone else who heard what had happened.
The Apostles Heal Many
12 The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 But no one else dared to join them, even though all the people had high regard for them. 14 Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord—crowds of both men and women. 15 As a result of the apostles’ work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. 16 Crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those possessed by evil[a] spirits, and they were all healed.
The Apostles Meet Opposition
17 The high priest and his officials, who were Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19 But an angel of the Lord came at night, opened the gates of the jail, and brought them out. Then he told them, 20 “Go to the Temple and give the people this message of life!”
21 So at daybreak the apostles entered the Temple, as they were told, and immediately began teaching.
When the high priest and his officials arrived, they convened the high council[b]—the full assembly of the elders of Israel. Then they sent for the apostles to be brought from the jail for trial. 22 But when the Temple guards went to the jail, the men were gone. So they returned to the council and reported, 23 “The jail was securely locked, with the guards standing outside, but when we opened the gates, no one was there!”
24 When the captain of the Temple guard and the leading priests heard this, they were perplexed, wondering where it would all end. 25 Then someone arrived with startling news: “The men you put in jail are standing in the Temple, teaching the people!”
26 The captain went with his Temple guards and arrested the apostles, but without violence, for they were afraid the people would stone them. 27 Then they brought the apostles before the high council, where the high priest confronted them. 28 “We gave you strict orders never again to teach in this man’s name!” he said. “Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!”
29 But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. 30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead after you killed him by hanging him on a cross.[c] 31 Then God put him in the place of honor at his right hand as Prince and Savior. He did this so the people of Israel would repent of their sins and be forgiven. 32 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, the high council was furious and decided to kill them. 34 But one member, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, who was an expert in religious law and respected by all the people, stood up and ordered that the men be sent outside the council chamber for a while. 35 Then he said to his colleagues, “Men of Israel, take care what you are planning to do to these men! 36 Some time ago there was that fellow Theudas, who pretended to be someone great. About 400 others joined him, but he was killed, and all his followers went their various ways. The whole movement came to nothing. 37 After him, at the time of the census, there was Judas of Galilee. He got people to follow him, but he was killed, too, and all his followers were scattered.
38 “So my advice is, leave these men alone. Let them go. If they are planning and doing these things merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God!”
40 The others accepted his advice. They called in the apostles and had them flogged. Then they ordered them never again to speak in the name of Jesus, and they let them go.
41 The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus.[d] 42 And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: “Jesus is the Messiah.”

Ananias and Sapphira
5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself,(A) but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.(B)
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan(C) has so filled your heart(D) that you have lied to the Holy Spirit(E) and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?(F) 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal?(G) What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”(H)
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died.(I) And great fear(J) seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body,(K) and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”(L)
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord?(M) Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died.(N) Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.(O) 11 Great fear(P) seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
The Apostles Heal Many
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders(Q) among the people. And all the believers used to meet together(R) in Solomon’s Colonnade.(S) 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people.(T) 14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.(U) 15 As 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.(V) 16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.(W)
The Apostles Persecuted
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party(X) of the Sadducees,(Y) were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.(Z) 19 But during the night an angel(AA) of the Lord opened the doors of the jail(AB) and brought them out.(AC) 20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.”(AD)
21 At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people.
When the high priest and his associates(AE) arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin(AF)—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles. 22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there.(AG) So they went back and reported, 23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” 24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests(AH) were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.
25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people(AI) would stone them.
27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin(AJ) to be questioned by the high priest. 28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,”(AK) he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”(AL)
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!(AM) 30 The God of our ancestors(AN) raised Jesus from the dead(AO)—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.(AP) 31 God exalted him to his own right hand(AQ) as Prince and Savior(AR) that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.(AS) 32 We are witnesses of these things,(AT) and so is the Holy Spirit,(AU) whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, they were furious(AV) and wanted to put them to death. 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel,(AW) a teacher of the law,(AX) who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census(AY) and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, 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.(AZ) 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”(BA)
40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged.(BB) Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing(BC) because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.(BD) 42 Day after day, in the temple courts(BE) and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news(BF) that Jesus is the Messiah.(BG)

Si Ananias at si Safira
5 May isang lalaki namang nagngangalang Ananias, kasama ang kanyang asawang si Safira, ang nagbili ng bahagi ng kanyang ari-arian. 2 Itinago ni Ananias para sa sarili ang ilang bahagi ng napagbilhan at isang bahagi lamang ang ibinigay sa pamamahala ng mga apostol. Sinang-ayunan ito ng kanyang asawa. 3 Kaya tinanong siya ni Pedro, “Ananias, bakit mo hinayaang puspusin ni Satanas ang iyong puso[a] at nagawa mong magsinungaling sa Banal na Espiritu at itago para sa sarili ang bahagi ng pinagbilhan ng lupa? 4 Hindi ba sa iyo naman ang lupa bago mo iyon ipinagbili? At nang maipagbili na, hindi ba ang napagbilhan ay nasa iyo ring pasya? Bakit naisipan mo pang gawin ang bagay na ito? Hindi ka sa tao nagsinungaling kundi sa Diyos.” 5 Nang marinig ni Ananias ang mga salitang ito, bumagsak siya at namatay. At matinding takot ang naghari sa lahat ng mga nakarinig nito. 6 Lumapit ang mga kabataang lalaki at siya'y binalot, inilabas at inilibing.
7 Pagkaraan ng halos tatlong oras, pumasok ang kanyang asawa na hindi nalalaman ang nangyari. 8 Sinabi sa kanya ni Pedro, “Sabihin mo sa akin, ito ba ang halagang pinagbilhan ninyo sa lupa?” Sumagot siya, “Iyon nga.” 9 Sinabi sa kanya ni Pedro, “Bakit nagkasundo kayong subukin ang Espiritu ng Panginoon? Tingnan mo, nakatayo sa pintuan ang mga naglibing sa iyong asawa, at dadalhin ka rin nila sa labas.” 10 Noon di'y nabuwal si Safira sa paanan ni Pedro at namatay. Pagpasok ng mga kabataan, natagpuan nilang patay na ang babae kaya't siya'y kanilang inilabas at inilibing sa tabi ng kanyang asawa. 11 Naghari ang matinding takot sa buong iglesya at sa lahat ng mga nakarinig ng mga ito.
Ang mga Himalang Ginawa ng mga Apostol
12 Sa pamamagitan ng mga apostol, maraming mga tanda at kababalaghan ang naganap sa gitna ng mga taong-bayan. Lahat ng mananampalataya ay patuloy na nagsasama-sama sa portiko ni Solomon. 13 Subalit wala nang iba pang nangahas na sumama sa kanila bagaman mataas ang pagtingin sa kanila ng mga tao. 14 Gayunma'y lalo pang dumarami ang mga lalaki at mga babaing sumampalataya sa Panginoon. 15 Dinadala ng mga tao sa mga lansangan ang mga maysakit, at inilalagay sa mga higaan at mga banig upang pagdaan ni Pedro ay madaanan man lamang ng kanyang anino ang ilan sa kanila. 16 Sama-sama ring pumunta ang maraming tao mula sa mga karatig-bayan ng Jerusalem, dala ang mga maysakit at ang mga pinahihirapan ng maruruming espiritu. At silang lahat ay pinagaling.
Ang Pag-uusig sa mga Apostol
17 Matinding inggit ang naghari sa Kataas-taasang Pari at sa lahat ng mga kasama niya, na sekta ng mga Saduceo. Kaya kumilos sila. 18 Dinakip nila ang mga apostol at ikinulong sa bilangguang bayan. 19 Ngunit kinagabihan, isang anghel ng Panginoon ang nagbukas sa mga pintuan ng bilangguan, at pagkatapos silang ilabas ay sinabi sa kanila, 20 “Pumunta kayo sa Templo at sabihin ninyo sa mga tao ang buong balita tungkol sa buhay na ito.” 21 Pagkarinig nila nito, pumasok sila sa templo nang madaling-araw at nagturo. Nang dumating ang Kataas-taasang Pari at ang mga kasamahan niya, pinulong nila ang Sanhedrin, ang buong kapulungan ng mga tagapamahala ng Israel. Nagsugo sila ng mga kawal sa bilangguan upang kunin ang mga apostol. 22 Ngunit pagdating ng mga kawal sa bilangguan, hindi sila natagpuan doon. Bumalik ang mga kawal at nag-ulat, 23 “Nadatnan naming nakakandadong mabuti ang bilangguan, at nakatayo sa mga pintuan ang mga bantay, ngunit nang buksan namin, wala kaming natagpuang tao sa loob.” 24 Nang marinig ito ng pinuno ng mga kawal ng templo at ng mga pinunong pari, nabahala sila. Labis ang kanilang pagtataka kung ano ang nangyayari. 25 Siya namang pagdating ng isang taong nagsabi ng ganito, “Tingnan ninyo! Ang mga lalaking ibinilanggo ninyo ay naroon sa Templo at nagtuturo sa mga tao!” 26 Kaya sumama ang pinuno ng mga kawal sa bantay ng templo at kinuha ang mga apostol. Ngunit hindi sila gumamit ng dahas, sa pangambang baka sila'y batuhin ng mga taong-bayan. 27 Nang kanilang madala ang mga apostol, pinatayo sila sa harap ng Sanhedrin. Tinanong sila ng Kataas-taasang Pari, 28 “Hindi (A) ba't mahigpit namin kayong pinagbawalang magturo sa pangalang ito? Ngunit tingnan ninyo, pinalaganap na ninyo sa Jerusalem ang inyong aral, at nais pa ninyo kaming managot sa pagkamatay[b] ng taong ito!” 29 Ngunit sumagot si Pedro at ang ibang mga apostol, “Ang Diyos ang dapat naming sundin at hindi ang mga tao. 30 Ang Diyos ng ating mga ninuno ang nagbangon kay Jesus, na inyong pinatay nang bitayin ninyo siya sa punongkahoy. 31 Itinaas siya ng Diyos sa kanyang kanang kamay bilang Tagapanguna at Tagapagligtas, upang bigyan ng pagkakataong magsisi ang Israel, at mapatawad ang mga kasalanan. 32 Saksi kami sa mga sinasabi naming ito, gayundin ang Banal na Espiritu na ipinagkaloob ng Diyos sa mga sumusunod sa kanya.” 33 Nang marinig nila ito, nagngitngit sila sa galit at nagbalak na patayin ang mga apostol. 34 Ngunit tumindig ang isang kaanib ng Sanhedrin, isang Fariseo na ang pangalan ay Gamaliel. Siya'y isang dalubhasa sa Kautusan at iginagalang ng buong bayan. Iniutos niyang ilabas sandali ang mga apostol. 35 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Mga kababayan kong Israelita, huwag kayong padalus-dalos sa inyong gagawin sa mga taong ito. 36 Sapagkat kailan lang ay lumitaw si Teudas, na nagpakilalang siya'y magaling. Sumama sa kanya ang may apatnaraang tao, ngunit nang siya'y mapatay, lahat ng sumunod sa kanya ay nagkawatak-watak at sila'y walang kinahinatnan. 37 Pagkatapos ay lumitaw naman si Judas na taga-Galilea nang panahon ng pagpapatala, at nakaakit din siya ng mga tagasunod. Ngunit siya man ay napahamak at ang lahat ng sumunod sa kanya'y nagkahiwa-hiwalay. 38 Kaya't pinapayuhan ko kayo ngayong huwag gumawa ng anumang laban sa mga taong ito. Hayaan ninyo sila. Sapagkat kung ang balak nila, o ang gawa nilang ito ay mula sa tao, ito'y hindi magtatagumpay. 39 Ngunit kung ito'y sa Diyos, hindi ninyo sila kayang pabagsakin. Baka lumabas pa kayong lumalaban sa Diyos!” 40 Sila'y napapayag niya. Kaya nang maipatawag nila ang mga apostol, ipinahagupit nila ang mga ito at inutusang huwag nang magsalita sa pangalan ni Jesus, at pagkatapos ay pinalaya. 41 Umalis sila sa Sanhedrin na nagagalak sapagkat sila'y naging karapat-dapat magtiis ng kahihiyan alang-alang sa Pangalan. 42 Araw-araw, sa templo at sa mga bahay-bahay, wala silang tigil sa pagtuturo at pangangaral na si Jesus ang Cristo.
