While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.” | Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” |
| And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him. | We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him. |

| And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus. | Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah. |
