| 5:37 | After this man rose vp Iudas of Galilee, in the dayes of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: hee also perished, and all, euen as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. |

| 5:16 | There came also a multitude out of the cities round about vnto Hierusalem, bringing sicke folkes, and them which were vexed with vncleane spirits, who were all healed. |

| 5:18 | And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison. |
| 5:19 | But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd, |
| 5:20 | Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes of this life. |
| 5:21 | So when they heard it, they entred into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. And the chiefe Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the Councill together, and all the Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison, to cause them to be brought. |
| 5:22 | But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it, |
| 5:23 | Saying, Certainely we founde the prison shut as sure as was possible, and the keepers standing without, before the doores: but when we had opened, we found no man within. |
| 5:24 | Then when the chiefe Priest, and the captaine of the Temple, and the hie Priestes heard these things, they doubted of them, whereunto this would growe. |
| 5:25 | Then came one and shewed them, saying, Beholde, the men that ye put in prison, are standing in the Temple, and teach the people. |
| 5:26 | Then went the captaine with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should haue bene stoned) |
| 5:27 | And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe Priest asked them, |
| 5:28 | Saying, Did not we straightly commaund you, that ye should not teach in this Name? and behold, ye haue filled Hierusale with your doctrine, and ye would bring this mans blood vpon vs. |
| 5:29 | Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men. |
| 5:30 | The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree. |
| 5:31 | Him hath God lift vp with his right hand, to be a Prince and a Sauiour, to giue repentance to Israel, and forgiuenes of sinnes. |
| 5:32 | And we are his witnesses concerning these things which we say: yea, and the holy Ghost, whome God hath giuen to them that obey him. |
| 5:33 | Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them. |
| 5:34 | Then stoode there vp in the Councill a certaine Pharise named Gamaliel, a doctour of the Lawe, honoured of all the people, and commanded to put the Apostles forth a litle space, |
| 5:35 | And sayd vnto them, Men of Israel, take heede to your selues, what ye intende to doe touching these men. |
| 5:36 | For before these times, rose vp Theudas boasting himselfe, to whom resorted a number of men, about a foure hundreth, who was slaine: and they all which obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. |
| 5:37 | After this man, arose vp Iudas of Galile, in the dayes of the tribute, and drewe away much people after him: hee also perished, and all that obeyed him, were scattered abroad. |
| 5:38 | And nowe I say vnto you, Refraine your selues from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsell, or this worke be of men, it will come to nought: |
| 5:39 | But if it be of God, ye can not destroy it, lest ye be found euen fighters against God. |
| 5:40 | And to him they agreed, and called the Apostles: and when they had beaten them, they commanded that they should not speake in the Name of Iesus, and let them goe. |
| 5:41 | So they departed from the Councill, reioycing, that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his Name. |
| 5:42 | And dayly in the Temple, and from house to house they ceased not to teach, and preach Iesus Christ. |
| 5:1 | A certain man named Ananyas with Saphira his wyfe solde a possession, |
| 5:2 | and kept awaye parte of the price (hys wyfe also beyng of counsel,) and brought a certain parte, and layd it doune at the Apostles fete. |
| 5:3 | Then said Peter. Ananias, how is it, that Sathan hath fylled thyne hert, that thou shouldest lye vnto the holy ghost, and kepe awaye part of the pryce of the lyuelod: |
| 5:4 | Pertained it not vnto the onelie, and after it was solde, was not the price in thine owne power? Howe is that, thou hast conceiued this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lied vnto men, but vnto God. |
| 5:5 | When Ananias hearde these wordes, he fell doune and gaue vp the ghost. And great feare came on all them that hearde these thinges. |
| 5:6 | And the younge men rose vp, and put him a parte and caryed hym out, and buried him. |
| 5:7 | And it fortuned as it were aboute the space of thre houres after that hys wyfe came in, ignoraunt of that whiche was done. |
| 5:8 | And Peter sayed vnto her: Tell me, gaue ye the lande for so much? And she said: ye for so much. |
| 5:9 | Then saied Peter vnto her: why haue ye agreed together to tempte the spiryte of the Lorde? Beholde, the fete of them whiche haue buried thy husbande, are at the dore, and shal cary the out. |
| 5:10 | Then she fell doune straighte waye at his fete, and yelded vp the ghoste. And the yonge men came in and founde her dead, and caryed her out & buried her by her housbande. |
| 5:11 | And great feare came on al the congregation, and on as manie as hearde it. |
| 5:12 | By the handes of the Apostles were manie signes and wounders shewed amonge the people. And they were all together wyth one accorde in Solomons porch. |
| 5:13 | And of other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelater the people magnifyed them. |
| 5:14 | The numbre of them that beleued in the Lorde, both of men and women, grewe more and more: |
| 5:15 | in so much that they broughte the sycke into the stretes, & layed them on beddes and palettes, that at the leaste waye, the shaddowe of Peter when he came by, myght shadowe some of them. |
| 5:16 | There came also a multitude out of the cyties round about vnto Hierusalem, bringinge sicke folke, and them whiche were vexed wyth vncleane spirites. And they were healed euery one. |
| 5:17 | Then the chiefe Prieste arose vp & al they that were with hym (which is the seete of the Saduces) and were full of indignacion, |
| 5:18 | and laied handes on the Apostles, and put them in the commune prison. |
| 5:19 | But the Aungell of the Lorde by nyght opened the prison dores, and broughte them forth, & sayed: |
| 5:20 | go, steppe forthe, and speake in the temple to the people all the wordes of this lyfe. |
| 5:21 | When they heard that, they entred into the temple early in the mornynge and taught. The chiefe Prieste came & they that were with him, and called a counsell together, and all the elders of the children of Israell, & sent to the prison to fetche them. |
| 5:22 | When the mynisters came and founde them not in the prison, they returned and tolde |
| 5:23 | saiynge: the pryson founde we shut as sure as was possible, and the kepers standynge wyth out before the dores. But when we had opened, we founde no man with in. |
| 5:24 | When the chiefe Priest of al and the ruler of the temple and the hye Priestes heard these thinges, they doubted of them whervnto thys woulde growe. |
| 5:25 | Then came one and shewed them: beholde the men that ye put in prison, stande in the temple, and teache the people. |
| 5:26 | Then went the ruler of the temple with ministers, and brought them without violence. For they feared the people: least they should haue bene stoned. |
| 5:27 | And when they had brought them, they set them before the counsell. And the chiefe prieste axed them |
| 5:28 | saiynge: dyd not we straytely commaunde you, that ye shoulde not teach in this name. And behold ye haue fylled Hierusalem with your doctrine, and ye intended to brynge this mannes bloude vpon vs. |
| 5:29 | Peter and the other Apostles aunswered & saied. We ought more to obey God, then men. |
| 5:30 | The God of our father raysed vp Iesus whom ye slewe and hanged on tree. |
| 5:31 | Hym hath God lyfte vp with his ryght hand to be a ruler and a sauiour, for to geue repentaunce to Israell and forgeuenes of synnes? |
| 5:32 | And we are hys recordes concerninge these thinges, & also the holy ghost, whom God hath geuen to them that obey him. |
| 5:33 | When they heard that they claue a sunder, & sought meanes to slea them. |
| 5:34 | Then stode ther vp one in the counsel, a pharisey named Gamaliel, a doctoure af law, had in aucthorite amonge all the people, and commaunded to put the Apostles a syde a litel space, |
| 5:35 | and saide vnto them: Men of Israel take hede to youre selues what ye entende to do as touching these men. |
| 5:36 | Before these dayes rose vp one Theudas bostynge him selfe: to whom resorted a numbre of men, aboute a foure hundred which was slaine, and they all which beleued him: were scatred abroade, & brought to nought. |
| 5:37 | After this man, arose ther vp one Iudas of Galile in the tyme when tribute began, and drewe awaie muche people after him. He also perished, and all euen as manye as harkened to hym: are scattered abroade. |
| 5:38 | And nowe I saye vnto you: refrayne youre selues from these men, let them alone. For if the counsel of this worke be of men, it wil come to nought. |
| 5:39 | But and if it be of God ye can not destroye it, leaste haply ye be found to striue against god. |
| 5:40 | And to him they agreed, and called the Apostles, and beate them, and commaunded that they shoulde not speake in the name of Iesu, and let them go. |
| 5:41 | And they departed from the counsel, reioysinge that they were counted worthy, to suffer rebuke for his name. |
| 5:42 | And dayly in the temple and in euerye house they ceased not, teachinge and preachinge Iesus Christe. |
