Coptic New Testament
1But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2and 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.

3But 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?

4While 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.”

5Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

6The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

7About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

8Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

9But 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.”

10She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

11Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

12By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

13None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.

14More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

15They 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.

16The 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.

17But 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

19But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,

21When 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.

22But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

24Now 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.

25One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”

26Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
