Kis 5:1 Ada seorang lain yang bernama Ananias. Ia beserta isterinya Safira menjual sebidang tanah.
Kis 5:2 Dengan setahu isterinya ia menahan sebagian dari hasil penjualan itu dan sebagian lain dibawa dan diletakkannya di depan kaki rasul-rasul.
Kis 5:3 Tetapi Petrus berkata: "Ananias, mengapa hatimu dikuasai Iblis, sehingga engkau mendustai Roh Kudus dan menahan sebagian dari hasil penjualan tanah itu?
Kis 5:4 Selama tanah itu tidak dijual, bukankah itu tetap kepunyaanmu, dan setelah dijual, bukankah hasilnya itu tetap dalam kuasamu? Mengapa engkau merencanakan perbuatan itu dalam hatimu? Engkau bukan mendustai manusia, tetapi mendustai Allah."
Kis 5:5 Ketika mendengar perkataan itu rebahlah Ananias dan putuslah nyawanya. Maka sangatlah ketakutan semua orang yang mendengar hal itu.
Kis 5:6 Lalu datanglah beberapa orang muda; mereka mengapani mayat itu, mengusungnya ke luar dan pergi menguburnya.
Kis 5:7 Kira-kira tiga jam kemudian masuklah isteri Ananias, tetapi ia tidak tahu apa yang telah terjadi.
Kis 5:8 Kata Petrus kepadanya: "Katakanlah kepadaku, dengan harga sekiankah tanah itu kamu jual?" Jawab perempuan itu: "Betul sekian."
Kis 5:9 Kata Petrus: "Mengapa kamu berdua bersepakat untuk mencobai Roh Tuhan? Lihatlah, orang-orang yang baru mengubur suamimu berdiri di depan pintu dan mereka akan mengusung engkau juga ke luar."
Kis 5:10 Lalu rebahlah perempuan itu seketika itu juga di depan kaki Petrus dan putuslah nyawanya. Ketika orang-orang muda itu masuk, mereka mendapati dia sudah mati, lalu mereka mengusungnya ke luar dan menguburnya di samping suaminya.
Kis 5:11 Maka sangat ketakutanlah seluruh jemaat dan semua orang yang mendengar hal itu.
Tanda-tanda dan mujizat-mujizat
Kis 5:12 Dan oleh rasul-rasul diadakan banyak tanda dan mujizat di antara orang banyak. Semua orang percaya selalu berkumpul di Serambi Salomo dalam persekutuan yang erat.
Kis 5:13 Orang-orang lain tidak ada yang berani menggabungkan diri kepada mereka. Namun mereka sangat dihormati orang banyak.
Kis 5:14 Dan makin lama makin bertambahlah jumlah orang yang percaya kepada Tuhan, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan,
Kis 5:15 bahkan mereka membawa orang-orang sakit ke luar, ke jalan raya, dan membaringkannya di atas balai-balai dan tilam, supaya, apabila Petrus lewat, setidak-tidaknya bayangannya mengenai salah seorang dari mereka.
Kis 5:16 Dan juga orang banyak dari kota-kota di sekitar Yerusalem datang berduyun-duyun serta membawa orang-orang yang sakit dan orang-orang yang diganggu roh jahat. Dan mereka semua disembuhkan.
Rasul-rasul dilepaskan dari penjara
Kis 5:17 Akhirnya mulailah Imam Besar dan pengikut-pengikutnya, yaitu orang-orang dari mazhab Saduki, bertindak sebab mereka sangat iri hati.
Kis 5:18 Mereka menangkap rasul-rasul itu, lalu memasukkan mereka ke dalam penjara kota.
Kis 5:19 Tetapi waktu malam seorang malaikat Tuhan membuka pintu-pintu penjara itu dan membawa mereka ke luar, katanya:
Kis 5:20 "Pergilah, berdirilah di Bait Allah dan beritakanlah seluruh firman hidup itu kepada orang banyak."
Kis 5:21 Mereka mentaati pesan itu, dan menjelang pagi masuklah mereka ke dalam Bait Allah, lalu mulai mengajar di situ. Sementara itu Imam Besar dan pengikut-pengikutnya menyuruh Mahkamah Agama berkumpul, yaitu seluruh majelis tua-tua bangsa Israel, dan mereka menyuruh mengambil rasul-rasul itu dari penjara.
Kis 5:22 Tetapi ketika pejabat-pejabat datang ke penjara, mereka tidak menemukan rasul-rasul itu di situ. Lalu mereka kembali dan memberitahukan,
Kis 5:23 katanya: "Kami mendapati penjara terkunci dengan sangat rapihnya dan semua pengawal ada di tempatnya di muka pintu, tetapi setelah kami membukanya, tidak seorangpun yang kami temukan di dalamnya."
Kis 5:24 Ketika kepala pengawal Bait Allah dan imam-imam kepala mendengar laporan itu, mereka cemas dan bertanya apa yang telah terjadi dengan rasul-rasul itu.
Kis 5:25 Tetapi datanglah seorang mendapatkan mereka dengan kabar: "Lihat, orang-orang yang telah kamu masukkan ke dalam penjara, ada di dalam Bait Allah dan mereka mengajar orang banyak."
Rasul-rasul di hadapan Mahkamah Agama -- Nasihat Gamaliel
Kis 5:26 Maka pergilah kepala pengawal serta orang-orangnya ke Bait Allah, lalu mengambil kedua rasul itu, tetapi tidak dengan kekerasan, karena mereka takut, kalau-kalau orang banyak melempari mereka.
Kis 5:27 Mereka membawa keduanya dan menghadapkan mereka kepada Mahkamah Agama. Imam Besar mulai menanyai mereka,
Kis 5:28 katanya: "Dengan keras kami melarang kamu mengajar dalam Nama itu. Namun ternyata, kamu telah memenuhi Yerusalem dengan ajaranmu dan kamu hendak menanggungkan darah Orang itu kepada kami."
Kis 5:29 Tetapi Petrus dan rasul-rasul itu menjawab, katanya: "Kita harus lebih taat kepada Allah dari pada kepada manusia.
Kis 5:30 Allah nenek moyang kita telah membangkitkan Yesus, yang kamu gantungkan pada kayu salib dan kamu bunuh.
Kis 5:31 Dialah yang telah ditinggikan oleh Allah sendiri dengan tangan kanan-Nya menjadi Pemimpin dan Juruselamat, supaya Israel dapat bertobat dan menerima pengampunan dosa.
Kis 5:32 Dan kami adalah saksi dari segala sesuatu itu, kami dan Roh Kudus, yang dikaruniakan Allah kepada semua orang yang mentaati Dia."
Kis 5:33 Mendengar perkataan itu sangatlah tertusuk hati mereka dan mereka bermaksud membunuh rasul-rasul itu.
Kis 5:34 Tetapi seorang Farisi dalam Mahkamah Agama itu, yang bernama Gamaliel, seorang ahli Taurat yang sangat dihormati seluruh orang banyak, bangkit dan meminta, supaya orang-orang itu disuruh keluar sebentar.
Kis 5:35 Sesudah itu ia berkata kepada sidang: "Hai orang-orang Israel, pertimbangkanlah baik-baik, apa yang hendak kamu perbuat terhadap orang-orang ini!
Kis 5:36 Sebab dahulu telah muncul si Teudas, yang mengaku dirinya seorang istimewa dan ia mempunyai kira-kira empat ratus orang pengikut; tetapi ia dibunuh dan cerai-berailah seluruh pengikutnya dan lenyap.
Kis 5:37 Sesudah dia, pada waktu pendaftaran penduduk, muncullah si Yudas, seorang Galilea. Ia menyeret banyak orang dalam pemberontakannya, tetapi ia juga tewas dan cerai-berailah seluruh pengikutnya.
Kis 5:38 Karena itu aku berkata kepadamu: Janganlah bertindak terhadap orang-orang ini. Biarkanlah mereka, sebab jika maksud dan perbuatan mereka berasal dari manusia, tentu akan lenyap,
Kis 5:39 tetapi kalau berasal dari Allah, kamu tidak akan dapat melenyapkan orang-orang ini; mungkin ternyata juga nanti, bahwa kamu melawan Allah." Nasihat itu diterima.
Kis 5:40 Mereka memanggil rasul-rasul itu, lalu menyesah mereka dan melarang mereka mengajar dalam nama Yesus. Sesudah itu mereka dilepaskan.
Kis 5:41 Rasul-rasul itu meninggalkan sidang Mahkamah Agama dengan gembira, karena mereka telah dianggap layak menderita penghinaan oleh karena Nama Yesus.
Kis 5:42 Dan setiap hari mereka melanjutkan pengajaran mereka di Bait Allah dan di rumah-rumah orang dan memberitakan Injil tentang Yesus yang adalah Mesias.
Act 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Act 5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Act 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Act 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Act 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Act 5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Act 5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Act 5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
Act 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
Act 5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
Act 5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
Act 5:12 And 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.
Act 5:13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
Act 5:14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
Act 5:15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
Act 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Act 5:17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
Act 5:18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
Act 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
Act 5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
Act 5:21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Act 5:22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,
Act 5:23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
Act 5:24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
Act 5:25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
Act 5:26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
Act 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
Act 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
Act 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Act 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Act 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Act 5:33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
Act 5:34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
Act 5:35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
Act 5:36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
Act 5:37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Act 5:38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
Act 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Act 5:40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Act 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
Act 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
