Деяния Апостолов 5

1 Муж же некий, ананиа именем, с сапфирою женою своею, продаде село2 и утаи от цены, сведущей и жене его: и принес часть некую, пред ногами апостол положи.3 Рече же петр: анание, почто исполни сатана сердце твое солгати Духу святому и утаити от цены села?4 сущее тебе не твое ли бе, и проданое не в твоей ли власти бяше? что яко положил еси в сердцы твоем вещь сию? не человеком солгал еси, но Богу.5 Слышав же ананиа словеса сия, пад издше: и бысть страх велик на всех слышащих сия.6 Вставше же юноши взяша его и изнесше погребоша.7 Бысть же яко трием часом минувшым, и жена его не ведущи бывшаго вниде.8 Отвеща же ей петр: рцы ми, аще на толице село отдаста? Она же рече: ей, на толице.9 Петр же рече к ней: что яко согласистася искусити Духа Господня? се, ноги погребших мужа твоего при дверех, и изнесут тя.10 Паде же абие пред ногама его и издше: вшедше же юноши обретоша ю мертву и изнесше погребоша близ мужа ея.11 И бысть страх велик на всей Церкви и на всех слышаших сия.12 Руками же апостолскими быша знамения и чудеса в людех многа: и бяху единодушно вси в притворе соломони:13 от прочих же никтоже смеяше прилеплятися им, но величаху их людие.14 Паче же прилагахуся верующии Господви, множество мужей же и жен,15 яко и на стогны износити недужныя и полагати на постелех и на одрех, да грядущу петру поне сень его осенит некоего от них.16 Схождашеся же и множество от окрестных градов во Иерусалим, приносяще недужныя и страждущыя от дух нечистых, иже исцелевахуся вси.17 Востав же архиерей и вси иже с ним, сущая ересь саддукейская, исполнишася зависти,18 и возложиша руки своя на апостолы и послаша их в соблюдение общее.19 Ангел же Господень нощию отверзе двери темницы, извед же их, рече:20 идите и ставше глаголите в церкви людем вся глаголы жизни сея.21 Слышавше же внидоша по утренице в церковь и учаху. Пришед же архиерей и иже с ним, созваша собор и вся старцы от сынов израилевых и послаша во узилище, привести их.22 Слуги же шедше не обретоша их в темнице, возвращшежеся возвестиша,23 глаголюще, яко темницу убо обретохом заключену со всяким утверждением и блюстители стоящыя пред дверьми: отверзше же, внутрь ни единаго обретохом.24 Якоже слышаша словеса сия архиерей же и воевода церковный и первосвященницы, недоумевахуся о них, что убо будет сие.25 Пришед же некто возвести им, глаголя, яко се, мужие, ихже всадисте в темницу, суть в церкви стояще и учаще люди.26 Тогда шед воевода со слугами, приведе их не с нуждею, бояхуся бо людий, да не камением побиют их:27 приведше же их, поставиша на сонмищи, и вопроси их архиерей, глаголя:28 не запрещением ли запретихом вам не учити о имени сем? и се, исполнисте Иерусалим учением вашим и хощете навести на ны кровь Человека сего.29 Отвещав же петр и апостоли реша: повиноватися подобает Богови паче, нежели человеком:30 Бог отец наших воздвиже Иисуса, егоже вы убисте, повесивше на древе:31 сего Бог началника и спаса возвыси десницею своею, дати покаяние израилеви и оставление грехов:32 и мы есмы того свидетелие глагол сих, и Дух святый, егоже даде Бог повинующымся ему.33 Они же слышавше распыхахуся и совещаша убити их.34 Востав же некий на сонмищи фарисей, именем гамалиил, законоучитель честен всем людем, повеле вне мало что апостолом уступити,35 рече же к ним: мужие израильтяне, внимайте себе о человецех сих, что хощете сотворити:36 пред сими бо деньми воста февда, глаголя быти велика некоего себе, емуже прилепишася числом мужей яко четыреста: иже убиен бысть, и вси, елицы повинушася ему, разыдошася и быша ни во чтоже:37 по сем воста иуда галилеанин во дни написания и отвлече люди доволны вслед себе: и той погибе, и вси, елицы послушаша его, разсыпашася:38 и ныне, глаголю вам, отступите от человек сих и оставите их: яко аще будет от человек совет сей или дело сие, разорится,39 аще ли же от Бога есть, не можете разорити то, да не како и Богоборцы обрящетеся.40 Послушаша же его, и призвавше апостолы, бивше запретиша им не глаголати о имени Иисусове и отпустиша их.41 Они же убо идяху радующеся от лица собора, яко за имя Господа Иисуса сподобишася безчестие прияти:42 по вся же дни в церкви и в домех не престаяху учаще и благовествующе Иисуса Христа.

Acts 5

The Judgment on Ananias and Sapphira

1 Now a man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.2 Het kept back for himself part of the proceeds with his wife’s knowledge; he broughtt only part of it and placed it at the apostles’ feet.3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filleds your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back for yourself part of the proceeds from the sale oft the land?

4 Before it was sold,t did it nott belong to you? And when it was sold, was the moneyt not at your disposal? How have you thought up this deed in your heart?t You have not lied to peoplet but to God!”
5 When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear grippedt all who heard about it.6 So the young men came,t wrapped him up,t carried him out, and burieds him.7 After an interval of about three hours,t his wife came in, but she did not knowt what had happened.8 Peter said to her, “Tell me, were the two of yout paid this amountt for the land?” Sapphirat said, “Yes, that much.”9 Peter then told her, “Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”10 At oncet she collapsed at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11 Greatt fear grippedt the whole churchs and all who heard about these things.

The Apostles Perform Miraculous Signs and Wonders

12 Now many miraculous signst and wonders came about among the people through the hands of the apostles. Byt common consentt they were all meeting together in Solomon’s Portico.ts13 None of the rest dared to join them,t but the people held them in high honor.t14 More and more believers in the Lord were added to their number,t crowds of both men and women.15 Thust they even carried the sick out into the streets, and put them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow would fall on some of them.

16 A crowd of people from the towns around Jerusalems also came together, bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits.s Theyt were alls being healed.

Further Trouble for the Apostles

17 Now the high priest rose up, and all those with him (that is, the religious party of the Sadduceess),s and they were filled with jealousy.s18 Theyt laid hands ont the apostles and put them in a public jail.19 But during the night an angel of the Lordt openedt the doors of the prison,t led them out,ts and said,20 “Go and stand in the temple courtst and proclaimt to the people all the words of this life.”

21 When they heard this, they entered the temple courtst at daybreak and began teaching.t
Now when the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrint – that is, the whole high councilt of the Israelitest – and sent to the jail to have the apostlest brought before them.t22 But the officerst who came for themt did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported,t23 “We found the jail locked securely and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them,t we found no one inside.”24 Now when the commandert of the temple guardt and the chief priests heard this report,t they were greatly puzzled concerning it,t wondering what this couldt be.25 But someone came and reported to them, “Look! The men you put in prison are standing in the temple courtst and teachings the people!”

26 Then the commandert of the temple guardt went with the officerst and brought the apostlest without the use of forcet (for they were afraid of being stoned by the people).t
27 When they had brought them, they stood them before the council,t and the high priest questionedt them,28 saying, “We gaves you strict orderst not to teach in this name.s Look,t you have filled Jerusalems with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s bloods on us!”29 But Peter and the apostles replied,t “We must obeys God rather than people.t30 The God of our forefatherst raised up Jesus, whom you seized and killed by hanging him on a tree.t31 God exalted himt to his right hand as Leadert and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.t

32 And we are witnesses of these events,t and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obeys him.”
33 Now when they heard this, they became furiouss and wanted to execute them.s34 But a Pharisees whose name was Gamaliel,s a teacher of the law who was respected by all the people, stood upt in the councilt and ordered the men to be put outside for a short time.35 Then he said to the council,t “Men of Israel,t pay close attention tot what you are about to do to these men.36 For some time agot Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. Het was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and nothing came of it.t37 After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census,t and incited people to follow him in revolt.t He too was killed, and all who followed him were scattered.38 So in this case I say to you, stay away from these men and leave them alone, because if this plan or this undertaking originates with people,t it will come to nothing,t39 but ift it is from God, you will not be able to stop them, or you may even be foundt fighting against God.” He convinced them,t40 and they summoned the apostles and had them beaten.s Thent they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them.41 So they left the council rejoicing because they had been considered worthys to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.s

42 And every day both in the temple courtst and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good newst that Jesus was the Christ.ts
