[1] But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, [2] And kept back part of the price, wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. [3] But Peter said, Ananias, hath Satan filled heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? [4] Whiles it remained, was it not and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived thing in heart? not lied unto men, but unto God. [5] And Ananias hearing words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard [6] And the young men arose, him up, and carried him out, and buried [7] And it was about of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. [8] And Peter answered unto her, Tell whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. [9] Then Peter unto her, How is it that have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried husband are at the door, and out. [10] Then fell she down straightway his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. [11] And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard [12] And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and all with one accord in Solomon's porch. [13] And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. [14] And believers the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) [15] Insomuch that they brought forth the sick the streets, and laid them on and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. [16] There came also a multitude out of the cities round about Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. [17] Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, [18] And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. [19] But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and them forth, and said, [20] Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words life. [21] And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison them brought. [22] But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told, [23] Saying, The prison found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within. [24] Now when and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard things, they doubted of them whereunto would grow. [25] Then came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison standing in the temple, and teaching the people. [26] Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, they should have been stoned.
