Si Ananias at si Safira
5 Subalit mayroong mag-asawa na nagbenta ng kanilang ari-arian; Ananias ang pangalan ng lalaki at Safira naman ang babae. 2 Hindi ibinigay ni Ananias sa mga apostol ang buong pinagbilhan na sinang-ayunan naman ng kanyang asawa. Isang bahagi lamang ang kanyang ipinagkatiwala sa mga apostol. 3 Kaya't sinabi ni Pedro, “Ananias, bakit ka nagpadala kay Satanas at nagsinungaling ka sa Espiritu Santo? Bakit mo binawasan ang pinagbilhan mo ng lupa? 4 Bago mo ipinagbili ang lupa, hindi ba iyo iyon? At nang maipagbili na, hindi ba iyo rin ang pinagbilhan? Bakit mo naisipang gawin iyon? Hindi ka sa tao nagsinungaling kundi sa Diyos.”
5 Nang(A) marinig ito ni Ananias, siya'y nalagutan ng hininga at bumagsak, at lahat ng nakabalita sa pangyayaring iyon ay pinagharian ng matinding takot. 6 Lumapit ang ilang binata, binalot ang bangkay, at siya'y inilibing.
7 Pagkaraan ng may tatlong oras, dumating naman ang kanyang asawa na walang kamalay-malay sa nangyari. 8 Kinausap siya ni Pedro, “Sabihin mo sa akin, ito nga ba lamang ang kabuuang halagang pinagbilhan ninyo ng inyong lupa?”
“Opo, iyan lamang,” sagot ng babae.
9 Kaya't sinabi sa kanya ni Pedro, “Bakit nagkaisa kayong subukin ang Espiritu ng Panginoon? Hayan! Kadarating pa lamang ng mga naglibing sa iyong asawa, at ikaw naman ngayon ang isusunod nila!”
10 Noon di'y nabuwal si Safira sa paanan ni Pedro at namatay. Pagpasok ng mga binata, nakita nilang patay na siya kaya't inilibing siya sa tabi ng kanyang asawa. 11 Nakadama ng matinding takot ang buong iglesya at ang lahat ng nakabalita nito.
Ang Pagpapagaling sa mga Maysakit
12 Maraming himalang ginawa ang mga apostol, na pawang nasaksihan ng mga tao. Sa Portiko ni Solomon nagtitipon ang mga mananampalataya, 13 ngunit natatakot sumama sa kanila ang mga di mananampalataya, kahit na pinupuri sila ng mga ito. 14 Samantala, parami nang parami ang mga lalaki at babaing sumasampalataya sa Panginoon. 15 Dinadala sa mga lansangan ang mga maysakit at inilalagay sa mga papag at banig upang pagdaan ni Pedro ay matamaan man lamang ng kanyang anino ang ilan sa kanila. 16 Dumating din ang maraming tao mula sa mga karatig-bayan ng Jerusalem, dala ang kanilang mga maysakit at mga pinapahirapan ng masasamang espiritu; at gumaling silang lahat.
Ang Pag-uusig sa mga Apostol
17 Labis na nainggit sa mga apostol ang pinakapunong pari at ang mga kasamahan niyang Saduseo, kaya't kumilos sila. 18 Dinakip nila ang mga apostol at ibinilanggo. 19 Ngunit kinagabiha'y binuksan ng isang anghel ng Panginoon ang bilangguan at inilabas ang mga apostol. Sinabi nito sa kanila, 20 “Pumunta kayo sa Templo at ipahayag sa mga tao ang lahat ng bagay tungkol sa bagong pamumuhay na ito.” 21 Kaya nang mag-uumaga na, pumasok sa Templo ang mga apostol at nagturo sa mga tao.
Nagtipon naman ang pinakapunong pari at ang kanyang mga kasamahan, at tumawag ng pangkalahatang pulong ng Kataas-taasang Kapulungan ng mga Judio at ng pamunuan ng Israel. Ipinakuha nila sa bilangguan ang mga apostol, 22 ngunit ang mga ito ay wala na nang dumating doon ang mga kawal kaya't nagbalik sila sa Kapulungan at nag-ulat, 23 “Nakita po namin na nakasusing mabuti ang pintuan ng bilangguan at nakatayo roon ang mga bantay. Ngunit nang buksan namin, wala kaming nakitang tao sa loob!” 24 Nang marinig ito, nabahala ang mga punong pari at ang kapitan ng mga bantay sa Templo. Hindi nila maubos-maisip kung ano ang nangyari sa mga apostol.
25 Siya namang pagdating ng isang taong ganito ang sabi, “Tingnan po ninyo, ang mga lalaking ipinakulong ninyo ay naroon sa Templo at nagtuturo sa mga tao.”
26 Kaya't pumunta sa Templo ang kapitan, kasama ang kanyang mga tauhan. Kinuha nila ang mga apostol, ngunit hindi sila gumamit ng dahas sa pangambang baka pagbabatuhin sila ng mga tao.
27 Iniharap nila sa Kapulungan ang mga apostol at ang mga ito'y tinanong ng pinakapunong pari. 28 “Hindi ba't mahigpit namin kayong pinagbawalang mangaral sa pangalan ng taong iyan?” sinabi(B) niya. “Ngunit tingnan ninyo ang inyong ginawa! Laganap na sa Jerusalem ang inyong itinuturo at nais pa ninyo kaming papanagutin sa pagkamatay ng taong iyan!” 29 Sumagot si Pedro at ang ibang mga apostol, “Sa Diyos kami dapat sumunod, at hindi sa tao. 30 Ang Diyos ng ating mga ninuno ang muling bumuhay kay Jesus na pinatay ninyo nang siya'y inyong ipinako sa krus.[a] 31 Iniakyat siya ng Diyos sa kanyang kanan bilang Tagapanguna at Tagapagligtas, upang bigyan ang mga Israelita ng pagkakataong magsisi at tumalikod sa kasalanan, at nang sa gayon ay magkamit sila ng kapatawaran. 32 Saksi kami sa mga bagay na ito, kami at ang Espiritu Santo na ipinagkaloob ng Diyos sa mga sumusunod sa kanya.”
33 Nagngitngit sa galit ang mga bumubuo ng Kapulungan nang marinig ito, at nais nilang ipapatay ang mga apostol. 34 Ngunit tumayo ang isa sa kanila na ang pangalan ay Gamaliel, isang Pariseong guro ng Kautusan at iginagalang ng buong bayan. Iniutos niyang ilabas muna ang mga apostol, 35 at pagkatapos ay nagsalita, “Mga kababayan, isipin ninyong mabuti ang gagawin ninyo sa mga taong ito. 36 Hindi pa nagtatagal mula nang lumitaw si Teudas na nagpanggap na isang dakilang pinuno, at nakaakit ng may apatnaraang tagasunod. Ngunit nang mapatay siya, nagkahiwa-hiwalay ang kanyang mga tauhan at nauwi sa wala ang kanilang kilusan. 37 Pagkatapos, lumitaw naman si Judas na taga-Galilea noong panahon ng pagpapatala ng mga mamamayan, at nakaakit din ito ng maraming tauhan. Nang mapatay siya, nagkawatak-watak din ang mga tagasunod niya. 38 Kaya't ganito ang payo ko: huwag ninyong pakialaman ang mga taong ito; hayaan ninyo sila. Kung ang kanilang plano o kilusan ay mula sa tao, ito'y kusang maglalaho. 39 Ngunit(C) kung ito'y mula sa Diyos, hindi ninyo ito mahahadlangan, at lilitaw pang kayo'y lumalaban sa Diyos!”
Sinunod nga nila ang payo ni Gamaliel. 40 Pinapasok nilang muli ang mga apostol, at matapos ipahagupit at pagbawalang mangaral sa pangalan ni Jesus, ang mga ito'y pinalaya. 41 Nilisan ng mga apostol ang Kapulungan at sila'y galak na galak sapagkat minarapat ng Diyos na sila'y magdanas ng kahihiyan alang-alang sa pangalan ni Jesus. 42 At araw-araw, sa Templo at sa mga bahay-bahay, walang tigil silang nagturo at nangaral ng magandang balita tungkol kay Jesus, ang Cristo.

Acts 5
American Standard Version
5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to [a]lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it. 6 And the [b]young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much. 9 But Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out. 10 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people: and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s [c]porch. 13 But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them; 14 [d]and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women: 15 insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and [e]couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them. 16 And there also came together the multitude from the cities round about Jerusalem, bringing sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
17 But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy, 18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward. 19 But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said, 20 Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life. 21 And when they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought. 22 But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told, 23 saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within. 24 Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow. 25 And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people. 26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, but without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, 28 saying, We strictly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us. 29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. 31 Him did God exalt [f]with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. 32 And we are witnesses [g]of these [h]things; [i]and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were minded to slay them. 34 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honor of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while. 35 And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do. 36 For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought. 37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrolment, and drew away some of the people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad. 38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown: 39 but if it is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God. 40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 They therefore departed from 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 at home, they ceased not to teach and to [j]preach Jesus as the Christ.

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)
