And a certain man whose name was Chananya, with his wife whose name was Shapira, sold his field,

and took from its price and concealed it, his wife being aware of it, and brought from it of the money and laid it before the feet of the apostles.

And Shimon said to him: Chananya, why has Satana so filled your heart that you should lie against the Ruach haKodesh and conceal from the money of the price of the field?

Was it not your own before it was sold? And after it was sold, again you had authority over its price. Why have you set in your heart to do this thing? You have not lied against men, but against Elohim.

And when Chananya heard these words, he fell and died. And great fear came upon all those who heard of it.

And the young men among them rose and gathered him up and carried him out and buried him.

And after three hours had passed, his wife also came in, not knowing what had happened.

Shimon said to her, Tell me if you sold the field for this price. And she said, Yes, for this price.

Shimon said to her, Because you agreed together to test the Ruach of Master YHWH, look, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.

And at that moment she fell before their feet and died. And those young men came in and found her dead, and they wrapped her, carried her out, and buried her beside her husband.

And great fear came on all the assembly and on all who heard it.

And many signs and mighty works were done by the hands of the apostles among the people. And they were all gathered together in the porch of Shleemun.

And of other people, no one dared to come near them, but the people magnified them.

And more and more were being added those who believed in Master YHWH, multitudes of men and of women.

so that they were bringing the sick out into the streets, laid on beds, so that when Shimon came, even his shadow might fall on them.

And many were coming to them from the other cities around Urishlim, bringing the sick and those who had unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

And the high priest was filled with great envy, and all those with him who were of the teaching of the Sadducees.

And they laid hands on the apostles, and seized and bound them in prison.

Then in the night a messenger of Master YHWH opened the door of the prison house and brought them out and said to them:

Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all these words of life.

And they went out at dawn and entered the temple and were teaching. But the high priest and those with him called their associates and the elders of Yisrael and sent to the prison house to bring the apostles.

And when those who were sent by them went, they did not find them in the prison house, and they returned and came

saying: We found the prison house shut carefully, and also the keepers standing at the door; and we opened and found no one there.

And when the chief priests and the rulers of the temple heard these words, they were astonished at them and were thinking what this could be.

And a man came and informed them: Those men whom you shut up in the prison, look, they are standing in the temple and teaching the people.

Then the rulers went with the attendants to bring them, not by force, for they were afraid the people might stone them.

And when they brought them, they stood them before the whole council, and the high priest began to say to them:

Did we not strictly charge you not to teach anyone in this name? But look, you have filled Urishlim with your teaching, and you want to bring the blood of this man upon us.

Shimon answered with the apostles and said to them: We must obey Elohim rather than men.

The Elohim of our fathers raised up Y'shua, whom you killed when you hung him on a tree.

This one Elohim has established as head and Life-Giver, and has raised him up at his right hand so that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Yisrael.

And we are witnesses of these words, and the Ruach haKodesh whom Elohim gives to those who believe in him.

And when they heard these words, they were cut with rage and were thinking of killing them.

And one of the Pharisees stood up, whose name was Gamaliel, a teacher of the law and honored by all the people, and he ordered that they put the emissaries outside for a little while.

And he said to them: Men, sons of Yisrael, take care for yourselves and see what is right for you to do about these men.

For before this time Theudas rose up and said of himself that he was something great, and about four hundred men went after him. And he was killed, and those who went after him were scattered and became as nothing.

And after him rose up Yehuda the Galilayan, in the days when people were being enrolled for the head-tax, and he led astray many people after him. And he died, and all those who were going after him were scattered.

And now I say to you: Keep yourselves away from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel and this work is from the sons of men, they dissolve and pass away.

But if it is from Elohim, it does not reach into your hands to nullify it, lest you be found standing against Elohim.

And they were persuaded by him, and they called the shlicha and scourged them and commanded them not to be speaking in the name of Y'shua, and they released them.

And they went out from before them rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for the name.

And they did not cease every day to teach in the temple and in the house, and to proclaim about our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach.
