WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.700 Chapter 5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold the 00:06.700 --> 00:11.460 possession and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, 00:11.700 --> 00:15.000 and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles' feet. 00:15.780 --> 00:21.300 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy 00:21.300 --> 00:25.140 Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 00:26.260 --> 00:28.400 Whilst it remained, was it not thine own? 00:29.060 --> 00:32.100 And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? 00:33.120 --> 00:35.800 Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? 00:36.780 --> 00:40.600 Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 00:41.380 --> 00:46.160 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the ghost. 00:46.820 --> 00:50.260 And great fear came on all them that heard these things. 00:50.780 --> 00:55.440 And the young man arose, wound him up, and carried him out and buried him. 00:55.980 --> 01:01.340 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was 01:01.340 --> 01:02.300 done, came in. 01:02.960 --> 01:06.880 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? 01:07.100 --> 01:09.520 And she said, Yea, for so much. 01:09.800 --> 01:15.080 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the 01:15.080 --> 01:16.280 Spirit of the Lord? 01:17.440 --> 01:22.080 Behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall 01:22.080 --> 01:23.160 carry thee out. 01:23.160 --> 01:28.200 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost. 01:28.640 --> 01:33.160 And the young man came in, and found her dead, and carrying her forth, buried her 01:33.160 --> 01:33.820 by her husband. 01:34.800 --> 01:39.880 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. 01:41.220 --> 01:44.880 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the 01:44.880 --> 01:48.420 people, and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. 01:49.120 --> 01:52.120 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them. 01:52.120 --> 01:54.740 But the people magnified them. 01:55.500 --> 01:59.960 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women. 02:01.060 --> 02:05.060 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds 02:05.060 --> 02:10.360 and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some 02:10.360 --> 02:10.680 of them. 02:11.400 --> 02:15.000 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, 02:15.500 --> 02:18.880 bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits. 02:18.880 --> 02:21.800 And they were healed every one. 02:23.000 --> 02:27.600 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of 02:27.600 --> 02:32.420 the Sadducees, and were filled with indignation, and laid their hands on the 02:32.420 --> 02:34.680 apostles, and put them in the common prison. 02:35.640 --> 02:40.260 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, 02:40.320 --> 02:46.240 and said, Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this 02:46.240 --> 02:46.660 life. 02:46.660 --> 02:50.900 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, 02:51.200 --> 02:51.820 and taught. 02:52.620 --> 02:56.620 But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council 02:56.620 --> 03:00.540 together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison 03:00.540 --> 03:01.340 to have them brought. 03:02.220 --> 03:06.580 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, 03:06.960 --> 03:12.220 and told, saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers 03:12.220 --> 03:14.000 standing without before the doors. 03:14.000 --> 03:17.600 But when we had opened, we found no man within. 03:18.040 --> 03:21.160 Now when the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard 03:21.160 --> 03:24.360 these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow. 03:25.840 --> 03:30.440 Then came one, and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are 03:30.440 --> 03:32.620 standing in the temple, and teaching the people. 03:33.080 --> 03:36.260 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, 03:36.620 --> 03:39.480 for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned. 03:40.080 --> 03:43.560 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council, 03:43.800 --> 03:48.000 and the high priest asked them, saying, Did not we straightly command you 03:48.000 --> 03:49.920 that ye should not teach in this name? 03:50.460 --> 03:54.960 And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this 03:54.960 --> 03:56.160 man's blood upon us. 03:56.540 --> 04:01.220 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We are to obey God rather than 04:01.220 --> 04:01.540 men. 04:02.360 --> 04:07.060 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 04:07.660 --> 04:12.520 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a prince and a savior, for to give 04:12.520 --> 04:15.160 repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 04:16.000 --> 04:18.820 And we are his witnesses of these things. 04:19.740 --> 04:24.360 And so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. 04:24.800 --> 04:29.300 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them. 04:29.980 --> 04:34.740 Then stood thereupon in the council a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a doctor of the 04:34.740 --> 04:39.540 law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles 04:39.540 --> 04:45.600 forth a little space, and said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves 04:45.600 --> 04:47.700 what ye intend to do as touching these men. 04:48.760 --> 04:52.960 For before these days rose up Thudas, boasting himself to be somebody, 04:53.680 --> 04:59.260 to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves, who was slain, 04:59.600 --> 05:03.060 and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to naught. 05:03.900 --> 05:09.580 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much 05:09.580 --> 05:10.480 people after him. 05:11.080 --> 05:16.160 He also perished, and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 05:17.240 --> 05:21.760 And now I say unto you, refrain from these men, and let them alone. 05:22.220 --> 05:26.140 For if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to naught. 05:26.140 --> 05:32.460 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it, lest happily ye be found even to fight 05:32.460 --> 05:33.220 against God. 05:33.480 --> 05:34.600 And to him they agreed. 05:35.060 --> 05:39.280 And when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they 05:39.280 --> 05:42.180 should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 05:42.860 --> 05:47.300 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted 05:47.300 --> 05:49.460 worthy to suffer shame for his name. 05:50.000 --> 05:55.220 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach 05:55.220 --> 05:56.420 Jesus Christ.
