| 5 1 | But there was another man, called Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, who sold a property. | Ananias and Sapphira Ac.5.1-11 | Ἀνὴρ δέ τις Ἀνανίας ὀνόματι σὺν Σαπφίρῃ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπώλησεν κτῆμα |
| 2 | With the full knowledge of his wife he kept back part of the purchase-money, and part he brought and laid at the apostles' feet. | καὶ ἐνοσφίσατο ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς, συνειδυίης καὶ τῆς γυναικός, καὶ ἐνέγκας μέρος τι παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐθηκεν. | |
| 3 | But Peter said, 'Ananias, how was it that Satan so possessed your mind that you lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back part of the price of the land? | εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος, Ἀνανία, διὰ τί ἐπλήρωσεν ὁ Σατανᾶς τὴν καρδίαν σου ψεύσασθαί σε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἀγιον καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς τοῦ χωρίοὺ; | |
| 4 | While it remained, did it not remain yours? When it was turned into money, was it not still at your own disposal? What made you think of doing this thing? You have lied not to men but to God.' | οὐχὶ μένον σοὶ ἐμενεν καὶ πραθὲν ἐν τῇ σῇ ἐξουσίᾳ ὑπῆρχεν; τί ὅτι ἐθου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτὸ; οὐκ ἐψεύσω ἀνθρώποις ἀλλὰ τῷ θεῷ. | |
| 5 | When Ananias heard these words he dropped dead; and all the others who heard were awestruck. | ἀκούων δὲ ὁ Ἀνανίας τοὺς λόγους τούτους πεσὼν ἐξέψυξεν· καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας. | |
| 6 | The younger men rose and covered his body, then carried him out and buried him. | ἀναστάντες δὲ οἱ νεώτεροι συνέστειλαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἐθαψαν. | |
| 7 | About three hours passed, and then his wife came in, unaware of what had happened. | Ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ὡρῶν τριῶν διάστημα καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ μὴ εἰδυῖα τὸ γεγονὸς εἰσῆλθεν. | |
| 8 | Peter turned to her and said, 'Tell me, were you paid such and such a price for the land?' 'Yes,' she said, 'that was the price.' | ἀπεκρίθη δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν Πέτρος, Εἰπέ μοι, εἰ τοσούτου τὸ χωρίον ἀπέδοσθὲ ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Ναί, τοσούτου. | |
| 9 | Then Peter said, 'Why did you both conspire to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Hark! there at the door are the footsteps of those who buried your husband; and they will carry you away.' | ὁ δὲ Πέτρος πρὸς αὐτήν, Τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα κυρίοὺ; ἰδοὺ οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἀνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ καὶ ἐξοίσουσίν σε. | |
| 10 | And suddenly she dropped dead at his feet. When the young men came in, they found her dead; and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. | ἐπεσεν δὲ παραχρῆμα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέψυξεν· εἰσελθόντες δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι εὗρον αὐτὴν νεκράν, καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἐθαψαν πρὸς τὸν ἀνδρα αὐτῆς. | |
| 11 | And a great awe fell upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of these events. | καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐφ' ὁλην τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας ταῦτα. | |
| 12 | Many remarkable and wonderful things took place among the people at the hands of the apostles. THEY USED TO MEET by common consent in Solomon's Portico, | Many Signs and Wonders Performed Ac.5.12-16 | Διὰ δὲ τῶν χειρῶν τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα πολλὰ ἐν τῷ λαῷ· καὶ ἦσαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἀπαντες ἐν τῇ στοᾷ Σολομῶντος. |
| 13 | no one from outside their number venturing to join with them. But people in general spoke highly of them, Or: ... Portico. Although others did not venture to join them, the common people spoke highly of them. | τῶν δὲ λοιπῶν οὐδεὶς ἐτόλμα κολλᾶσθαι αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ' ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτοὺς ὁ λαός· | |
| 14 | and more than that, numbers of men and women were added to their ranks as believers in the Lord. Or: and an ever-increasing number of believer, both men and women were added to the Lord. | μᾶλλον δὲ προσετίθεντο πιστεύοντες τῷ κυρίῳ πλήθη ἀνδρῶν τε καὶ γυναικῶν, | |
| 15 | In the end the sick were actually carried out into the streets and laid there on beds and stretchers, so that even the shadow of Peter might fall on one or another as he passed by; | ὡστε καὶ εἰς τὰς πλατείας ἐκφέρειν τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς καὶ τιθέναι ἐπὶ κλιναρίων καὶ κραβάττων, ἵνα ἐρχομένου Πέτρου κἂν ἡ σκιὰ ἐπισκιάσῃ τινὶ αὐτῶν. | |
| 16 | and the people from the towns round Jerusalem flocked in, bringing those who were ill or harassed by unclean spirits, and all of them were cured. | συνήρχετο δὲ καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πέριξ πόλεων Ἰερουσαλήμ, φέροντες ἀσθενεῖς καὶ ὀχλουμένους ὑπὸ πνευμάτων ἀκαθάρτων, οἱτινες ἐθεραπεύοντο ἀπαντες. | |
