But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, Lev 10:1-32Ti 2:20Mat 13:47-48Jhn 6:37Jos 6:1 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. Act 4:372Pe 2:14-152Ki 5:21-25Act 4:34-35Act 5:3Jhn 12:6Jos 7:11-12Mal 1:14 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? Jer 23:24Isa 29:151Pe 5:8Act 5:9Jhn 13:2Jhn 13:27Ecc 5:4Eph 6:11-16 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.” Act 5:31Ch 29:31Th 4:82Ki 5:25-27Jos 7:25-26Luk 10:16Act 5:9Act 8:21-22
Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things. Act 5:10-11Act 2:43Act 5:13Num 16:26-34Rev 11:13Rev 11:51Ch 13:121Ch 15:13 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him. Jhn 19:402Sa 18:17Deu 21:23Lev 10:4-6 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” Act 5:2
She said, “Yes, for so much.”
But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 1Co 10:9Act 5:3-4Psa 95:8-11Psa 78:56Act 15:10Psa 78:18-20Psa 78:40-412Ki 6:32

By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

Act 2:47Act 4:4Isa 55:11-13Act 2:41Act 6:7Act 9:31Act 9:35Act 9:42 They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them. Act 19:11-12Mat 14:36Jhn 14:12Mat 9:21 The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy Act 13:45Act 17:5Act 7:91Pe 2:11Sa 18:12-16Ecc 4:4Jhn 11:47-49Jhn 12:10 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody. Act 4:32Co 11:23Luk 21:12Act 12:5-7Act 16:23-27Act 8:3Heb 11:36Rev 2:10 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said, Act 16:26Psa 34:7Act 12:7-11Act 27:23Act 8:26Psa 105:17-20Isa 61:1Mat 1:20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.” Jhn 6:63Jhn 6:681Jn 5:11-121Jn 1:1-3Mat 21:23Jhn 12:50Jhn 17:3Act 11:14
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. Jhn 8:2Act 12:18-19Act 22:15Act 22:2-3Act 4:5-7Act 5:17Act 5:24-25Act 5:27 But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported, “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” Psa 2:4Psa 33:10Act 5:19Dan 3:11-25Dan 6:22-24Jhn 8:59Lam 3:37Lam 3:55-58
Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this. Act 4:1Act 5:26Act 2:12Act 4:16-17Act 4:21Dan 2:34-35Dan 2:44-45Isa 53:1-2 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.” Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them. Act 5:13Act 4:21Act 5:24Luk 20:19Luk 20:6Luk 22:2Mat 14:5Mat 21:26
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them, Mat 5:22Act 22:30Act 4:7Act 6:12Luk 22:66 saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.” Mat 27:25Act 4:18-21Act 7:52Act 4:10-111Th 2:15-16Jer 26:15Mat 21:441Ki 18:17-18
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. Act 4:191Sa 15:24Mrk 7:7-9Gen 3:17Rev 14:8-12 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them. Act 7:54Act 2:37Luk 4:28-29Jhn 16:2Mat 24:9Gen 4:5-8Luk 11:50-54Mat 10:21 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

Act 19:36Act 22:26Jer 26:19Mat 27:19 For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing. Act 8:92Pe 2:22Th 2:3-7Act 21:38Gal 2:6Gal 6:3Jud 1:16Mat 24:24 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad. Luk 2:1-2Job 20:5-9Luk 13:1-2Mat 26:52Psa 7:14-15Psa 9:15-16 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
