44:004:028 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel
determined
before
to be done.
44:004:029 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings:
and grant unto thy
servants,
that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
44:004:030 By stretching forth thine hand to heal;
and that signs and
wonders
may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
44:004:031 And when they had prayed, the place was
shaken where they were
assembled
together; and they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost,
and they spake the word of God with boldness.
44:004:032 And the multitude of them that believed
were of one heart and
of
one soul: neither said any of them that ought
of the things
which
he possessed was his own; but they had all things
common.
44:004:033 And with great power gave the apostles
witness of the
resurrection
of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them
all.
44:004:034 Neither was there any among them that lacked:
for as many as
were
possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought
the
prices
of the things that were sold,
44:004:035 And laid them down at the apostles’
feet: and distribution was
made
unto every man according as he had need.
44:004:036 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed
Barnabas, (which
is,
being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite,
and
of
the country of Cyprus,
44:004:037 Having land, sold it, and brought the money,
and laid it at
the
apostles’ feet.
44:005:001 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira
his wife, sold
a
possession,
44:005:002 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.
44:005:003 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?
44:005:004 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.
44:005:005 And Ananias hearing these words fell down,
and gave up the
ghost:
and great fear came on all them that heard these
things.
44:005:006 And the young men arose, wound him up,
and carried him out,
and
buried him.
44:005:007 And it was about the space of three hours
after, when his
wife,
not knowing what was done, came in.
44:005:008 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether
ye sold the land
for
so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
