Chapter 4, verse 24 - Chapter 5, verse 6
24
When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them
25
who by the mouth of your servant, David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
26
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
27
“For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together
28
to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.
29
Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
30
while you stretch out your hand to heal
31
When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32
The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
33
With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34
For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35
and laid them at the apostles’ feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36
Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
37
having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Chapter 5
1
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira, his wife, sold a possession,
2
and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3
But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4
While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”
5
Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
6
The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
