You have not lied to men, but to God.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came upon all who heard of it. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And the young men arose and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price?” And she said, “Yes, that was the price.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then Peter <i>said</i> to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out <i>as well</i>.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And she fell immediately at his feet, and breathed her last; and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of these things. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>And at the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s portico. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to <i>their number;</i> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets, and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on any one of them. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits; and they were all being healed. <p><b><i>Imprisonment and Release</i></b><p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>But the high priest rose up, along with all his associates (that is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>and they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in a public jail. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>But an angel of the Lord during the night opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>“Go your way, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>And upon hearing <i>this,</i> they entered into the temple about daybreak, and <i>began</i> to teach. Now when the high priest and his associates had come, they called the Council together, even all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent <i>orders</i> to the prison house for them to be brought. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>But the officers who came did not find them in the prison; and they returned, and reported back, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>saying, “We found the prison house locked quite securely and the guards standing at the doors; but when we had opened up, we found no one inside.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Now when the captain of the temple <i>guard</i> and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what would come of this. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>But someone came and reported to them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Then the captain went along with the officers and <i>proceeded</i> to bring them <i>back</i> without violence (for they were afraid of the people, lest they should be stoned). <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And when they had brought them, they stood them before the Council. And the high priest questioned them, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>saying, “We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>But Peter and the apostles answered and said, “We must obey God rather than men. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>“The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>“He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>“And we are witnesses of these things; and <i>so is</i> the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” <p><b><i>Gamaliel’s Counsel</i></b><p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>But when they heard this, they were cut to the quick and were intending to slay them. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>But a certain Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, respected by all the people, stood up in the Council and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>“For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody; and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. And he was slain; and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>“After this man Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away <i>some</i> people after him, he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>“And so in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action should be of men, it will be overthrown; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>And they took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them to speak no more in the name of Jesus, and <i>then</i> released them. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for <i>His</i> name. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/5-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus <i>as</i> the Christ.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
