Acts

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.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

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.

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

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.

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.

But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,

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.

Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

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,

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.

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.

And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

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.

And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

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.

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.

And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

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.

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?

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.
