ACTS

Acts 5

1But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,
Leviticus 10:1, Leviticus 10:3, Leviticus 10:1, Leviticus 10:3, 2 Timothy 2:20
2And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
Acts 4:37, Acts 4:37, 2 Peter 2:14, 2 Peter 2:15, 2 Peter 2:14
3But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost and by fraud keep part of the price of the land?
Jeremiah 23:24, Jeremiah 23:24, Isaiah 29:15, Isaiah 29:15, John 13:27
4Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
Acts 5:3, Acts 5:3, 1 Chronicles 29:3, 2 Kings 5:25, 2 Kings 5:27
5And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.
Acts 5:10, Acts 5:11, Acts 5:10, Acts 5:11, Acts 2:43
6And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.
John 19:40, John 19:40, Leviticus 10:4, Leviticus 10:6, Deuteronomy 21:23
7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.
Acts 5:2, Acts 5:2
9And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door: and they shall carry thee out,
1 Corinthians 10:9, Acts 5:3, Acts 5:4, 1 Corinthians 10:9, Acts 5:3
10Immediately, she fell down before his feet and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in found her dead: and carried her out and buried her by her husband.
Acts 5:5, Acts 5:5
11And there came great fear upon the whole church and upon all that heard these things.
Acts 5:5, Acts 5:5, 1 Corinthians 10:11, 1 Corinthians 10:12, 1 Corinthians 10:11
12And 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.
Acts 19:11, Acts 19:11, 2 Corinthians 12:12, 2 Corinthians 12:12, Hebrews 2:4
13But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them: but the people magnified them.
Acts 2:47, Acts 2:47, Acts 4:21, Acts 4:21, Acts 19:17
14And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord was more increased:
Acts 2:47, Acts 2:47, Isaiah 55:11, Isaiah 55:13, Isaiah 55:11
15Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that, when Peter came, his shadow at the least might overshadow any of them and they might be delivered from their infirmities.
Acts 19:11, Acts 19:12, Matthew 14:36, Acts 19:11, Acts 19:12
16And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighbouring cities, bringing sick persons and such as were troubled with unclean spirits: who were all healed.

17Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him (which is the heresy of the Sadducees) were filled with envy.

18And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.

19But an angel of the Lord by night, opening the doors of the prison and leading them out, said:

20Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
John 6:63, John 6:63, John 6:68, John 6:68, Matthew 21:23
21Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council and all the ancients of the children of Israel: and they sent to the prison to have them brought.
John 8:2, John 8:2, Acts 5:41, Acts 22:15, Luke 21:37
22But when the ministers came and opening the prison found them not there, they returned and told,

Psalms 2:4, Psalms 33:10, Psalms 2:4, Psalms 33:10, Proverbs 21:30

Acts 5:13, Acts 5:13, Acts 4:21, Acts 4:21, Matthew 26:5

Matthew 5:22, Matthew 5:22, Acts 6:12, Acts 4:7, Acts 22:30
28Saying: Commanding, we commanded you that you should not teach in this name. And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine: and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.

34But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.

35And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.

36For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. Who was slain: and all that believed him were scattered and brought to nothing.

37After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him. He also perished: and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.
Luke 2:1, Luke 2:2, Luke 2:1, Luke 2:2, Luke 13:1
38And now, therefore, I say to you: Refrain from these men and let them alone. For if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
Matthew 15:13, Matthew 15:13, Lamentations 3:37, Lamentations 3:37, Job 5:12
39But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.
