ΠΡΑΞΕΙΣ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΩΝ, κεφαλίς 5, στἰχοι 1-16

¹ἀνὴρ δέ τις ‘Ανανίας ὀνόματι σὺν Σαπφίρη̨ τη̨̃ γυναικὶ αὐτου̃ ἐπώλησεν κτη̃μα

²καὶ ἐνοσφίσατο ἀπò τη̃ς τιμη̃ς συνειδυίης καὶ τη̃ς γυναικός καὶ ἐνέγκας μέρος τι παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τω̃ν ἀποστόλων ἔθηκεν

³εἰ̃πεν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος ‘Ανανία διὰ τί ἐπλήρωσεν ὁ Σατανα̃ς τὴν καρδίαν σου ψεύσασθαί σε τò πνευ̃μα τò ἅγιον καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπò τη̃ς τιμη̃ς του̃ χωρίου

⁴οὐχὶ μένον σοὶ ἔμενεν καὶ πραθὲν ἐν τη̨̃ ση̨̃ ἐξουσία̨ ὑπη̃ρχεν τί ὅτι ἔθου ἐν τη̨̃ καρδία̨ σου τò πρα̃γμα του̃το οὐκ ἐψεύσω ἀνθρώποις ἀλλὰ τω̨̃ θεω̨̃

⁵ἀκούων δὲ ὁ ‘Ανανίας τοὺς λόγους τούτους πεσὼν ἐξέψυξεν καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας

⁶ἀναστάντες δὲ οἱ νεώτεροι συνέστειλαν αὐτòν καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν

⁷ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ὡρω̃ν τριω̃ν διάστημα καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτου̃ μὴ εἰδυι̃α τò γεγονòς εἰση̃λθεν

⁸ἀπεκρίθη δὲ πρòς αὐτὴν Πέτρος εἰπέ μοι εἰ τοσούτου τò χωρίον ἀπέδοσθε ἡ δὲ εἰ̃πεν ναί τοσούτου

⁹ὁ δὲ Πέτρος πρòς αὐτήν τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμι̃ν πειράσαι τò πνευ̃μα κυρίου ἰδοὺ οἱ πόδες τω̃ν θαψάντων τòν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τη̨̃ θύρα̨ καὶ ἐξοίσουσίν σε

¹⁰ἔπεσεν δὲ παραχρη̃μα πρòς τοὺς πόδας αὐτου̃ καὶ ἐξέψυξεν εἰσελθόντες δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι εὑ̃ρον αὐτὴν νεκράν καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν πρòς τòν ἄνδρα αὐτη̃ς

¹¹καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐφ' ὅλην τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας ταυ̃τα

¹²διὰ δὲ τω̃ν χειρω̃ν τω̃ν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο σημει̃α καὶ τέρατα πολλὰ ἐν τω̨̃ λαω̨̃ καὶ ἠ̃σαν ὁμοθυμαδòν ἅπαντες ἐν τη̨̃ Στοα̨̃ Σολομω̃ντος

¹³τω̃ν δὲ λοιπω̃ν οὐδεὶς ἐτόλμα κολλα̃σθαι αὐτοι̃ς ἀλλ' ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτοὺς ὁ λαός

¹⁴μα̃λλον δὲ προσετίθεντο πιστεύοντες τω̨̃ κυρίω̨ πλήθη ἀνδρω̃ν τε καὶ γυναικω̃ν

¹⁵ὥστε καὶ εἰς τὰς πλατείας ἐκφέρειν τοὺς ἀσθενει̃ς καὶ τιθέναι ἐπὶ κλιναρίων καὶ κραβάττων ἵνα ἐρχομένου Πέτρου κἂν ἡ σκιὰ ἐπισκιάση̨ τινὶ αὐτω̃ν

¹⁶συνήρχετο δὲ καὶ τò πλη̃θος τω̃ν πέριξ πόλεων ’Ιερουσαλήμ φέροντες ἀσθενει̃ς καὶ ὀχλουμένους ὑπò πνευμάτων ἀκαθάρτων οἵτινες ἐθεραπεύοντο ἅπαντες

Comments on the part

5:1 But a certain man named Ananias - It is certain, not a believer, for all that believed were of one heart and of one soul: probably not baptized; but intending now to offer himself for baptism.

5:2 And bringing a certain part - As if it had been the whole: perhaps saying it was so.

5:3 To lie to the Holy Ghost - Who is in us. And to keep back - Here was the first instance of it. This was the first attempt to bring propriety of goods into the Christian Church.

5:4 While it remained, did it not remain thine? - It is true, whosoever among the Christians (not one excepted) had houses or lands, sold them, and laid the price at the feet of the apostles. But it was in his own choice to be a Christian or not: and consequently either to sell his land, or keep it.And when it was sold, was it not in thy power? - For it does not appear that he professed himself a Christian when he sold it.Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? - So profanely to dissemble on so solemn an occasion? Thou hast not lied to men only, but to God also. Hence the Godhead of the Holy Ghost evidently appears: since lying to him, Деян 5:3, is lying to God.

5:5 And Ananias fell down and expired - And this severity was not only just, considering that complication of vain glory, covetousness, fraud, and impiety, which this action contained: but it was also wise and gracious, as it would effectually deter any others from following his example. It was likewise a convincing proof of the upright conduct of the apostles, in managing the sums with which they were intrusted; and in general of their Divine mission. For none can imagine that Peter would have had the assurance to pronounce, and much less the power to execute such a sentence, if he had been guilty himself of a fraud of the same kind; or had been belying the Holy Ghost in the whole of his pretensions to be under his immediate direction.

5:7 About the space of three hours - How precious a space! The woman had a longer time for repentance.

5:8 If ye sold the land for so much - Naming the sum.

5:10 The Church - This is the first time it is mentioned: and here is a native specimen of a New Testament Church; which is a company of men, called by the Gospel, grafted into Christ by baptism, animated by love, united by all kind of fellowship, and disciplined by the death of Ananias and Sapphira.

5:12 And they were all - All the believers.

5:13 None of the rest - No formalists or hypocrites, durst join themselves - In an outward show only, like Ananias and Sapphira.

5:14 But so much the more were true believers added, because unbelievers kept at a distance.
