1 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
  thine 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 thine own? and
  after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why
  hast thou conceived this thing in thine 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 on all them
  that heard these things.
   6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and 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 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have
  agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord?
  behold, the feet of them which have buried thy
  husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
  10 Then fell she down straightway at 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 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 porch.
  13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them:
  but the people magnified them.
  14 And believers were the more added to the Lord,
  multitudes both of men and women.)
  15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the
  streets, and laid them on beds 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 unto 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 is 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 brought them forth, and said,
  20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people
  all the words of this 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, and called
  the council together, and all the senate of the
  children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have
  them brought.
  22 But when the officers came, and found them not in
  the prison, they returned, and told,
  23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all
  safety, and the keepers standing without before the
  doors: but when we had opened, we found no man
  within.
  24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the
  temple and the chief priests heard these things, they
  doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
  25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the
  men whom ye put in prison are 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, lest they should have been stoned.
  27 And when they had brought them, they set them
  before the council: and the high priest asked them,
  28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye
  should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have
  filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to
  bring this man's blood upon us.
  29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and
  said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
  30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye
  slew and hanged on a tree.
  31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a
  Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to
  Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
  32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so
  is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them
  that obey him.
  33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart,
  and took counsel to slay them.
  34 Then stood there up one in the council, a
  Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in
  reputation among all the people, and commanded to put
  the apostles forth a little space;
  35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to
  yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these
  men.
  36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting
  himself 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 scattered, and
  brought to nought.
  37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the
  days of the taxing, and drew away much people after
  him: he also perished; and all, even as many as
  obeyed him, were dispersed.
  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 come to nought:
  39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest
  haply ye be found even to fight against God.
  40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called
  the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that
  they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let
  them go.
  41 And they departed from the presence of the
  council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to
  suffer shame for his name.
  42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they
  ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
