DAY 5 FOR A GOAL OF READING THE BOOK OF ACTS IN 30 DAYS
AC-5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him]
out, and buried [him].
AC-5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his
wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
AC-5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the
land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
AC-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.
AC-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.
AC-5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as
many
as heard these things.
AC-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.
AC-5:13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but
the
people magnified them.
AC-5:14 And believers were the more added to the Lord,
multitudes
both of men and women.)
AC-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.
AC-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.
AC-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,
AC-5:18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in
the
common prison.
AC-5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison
doors,
and brought them forth, and said,
AC-5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the
words of this life.
AC-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.
AC-5:22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the
prison, they returned, and told,
AC-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.
AC-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.
AC-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.
AC-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.
AC-5:27 And when they had brought them, they set [them] before
the
council: and the high priest asked them,
AC-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.
AC-5:29 Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said,
We
ought to obey God rather than men.
AC-5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
hanged on a tree.
AC-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.
AC-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.
AC-5:33 When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart],
and
took counsel to slay them.
AC-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;
AC-5:35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to
yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
AC-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.
AC-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.
AC-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:
AC-5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply
ye
be found even to fight against God.
