Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:1 Now a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:2 and with his wife's full knowledge [and complicity] he kept back some of the proceeds, bringing only a portion of it, and set it at the apostles' feet.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and [secretly] keep back for yourself some of the proceeds [from the sale] of the land?
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:4 "As long as it remained [unsold], did it not remain your own [to do with as you pleased]? And after it was sold, was the money not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this act [of hypocrisy and deceit] in your heart? You have not [simply] lied to people, but to God."
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:5 And hearing these words, Ananias fell down suddenly and died; and great fear and awe gripped those who heard of it.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:6 And the young men [in the congregation] got up and wrapped up the body, and carried it out and buried it.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:7 ¶ Now after an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:8 Peter asked her, "Tell me whether you sold your land for so much?" And she said, "Yes, for so much."
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:9 Then Peter said to her, "How could you two have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:10 And at once she fell down at his feet and died; and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:11 And great fear and awe gripped the whole church, and all who heard about these things.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:12 ¶ At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders (attesting miracles) were continually taking place among the people. And by common consent they all met together [at the temple] in [the covered porch called] Solomon's portico.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:13 But none of the rest [of the people, the non-believers] dared to associate with them; however, the people were holding them in high esteem and were speaking highly of them.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:14 More and more believers in the Lord, crowds of men and women, were constantly being added to their number,
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:15 to such an extent that they even carried their sick out into the streets and put them on cots and sleeping pads, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on one of them [with healing power].
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:16 And the people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing the sick and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:17 ¶ But the high priest stood up, along with all his associates (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy and resentment.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:18 They arrested the apostles and put them in a public jail.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, and leading them out, he said,
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:20 "Go, stand and continue to tell the people in the temple [courtyards] the whole message of this Life [the eternal life revealed by Christ and found through faith in Him]."
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:21 When they heard this, they went into the temple [courtyards] about daybreak and began teaching. Now when the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court), even all the council of elders of the sons of Israel, and sent word to the prison for the apostles to be brought [before them].
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:22 ¶ But when the officers arrived, they did not find them in the prison; and they came back and reported,
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:23 "We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened [the doors], we found no one inside."
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:24 Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these things, they were greatly perplexed, wondering what would come of this.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:25 But someone came and told them, "The men whom you put in prison are standing [right here] in the temple [area], teaching the people!"
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them back, without hurting them (because they were afraid of the people, worried that they might be stoned).
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:27 ¶ So they brought them and presented them before the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court). The high priest questioned them,
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:28 saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this Man's blood on us [by accusing us as His murderers]."
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than men [we have no other choice].
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:30 "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross [and you are responsible]. [Deut 21:22, 23]
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:31 "God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:32 "And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has bestowed on those who obey Him."
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:33 ¶ Now when they heard this, they were infuriated and they intended to kill the apostles.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law [of Moses], highly esteemed by all the people, stood up in the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) and ordered that the men be taken outside for a little while.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:35 Then he said to the Council, "Men of Israel, be careful in regard to what you propose to do to these men.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:36 "For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody [of importance], and a group of about four hundred men allied themselves with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were scattered and came to nothing.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:37 "After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up, [and led an uprising] during the time of the census, and drew people after him; he was also killed, and all his followers were scattered.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:38 "So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men [merely human in origin], it will fail and be destroyed;
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:39 but if it is of God [and it appears that it is], you will not be able to stop them; or else you may even be found fighting against God!"
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:40 ¶ The Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) took his advice; and after summoning the apostles, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:41 So they left the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy [dignified by indignity] to suffer shame for [the sake of] His name.
Verse Info. Notes Acts 5:42 And every single day, in the temple [area] and in homes, they did not stop teaching and telling the good news of Jesus as the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).
