1 ανηρ δε τισ ανανιασ ονοματι συν σαπφειρη τη γυναικι αυτου επωλησεν κτημα
1 MAS un varón llamado Ananías, con Safira su mujer, vendió una posesión,
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 και ενοσφισατο απο τησ τιμησ συνειδυιασ και τησ γυναικοσ αυτου και ενεγκασ μεροσ τι παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων εθηκεν
2 Y defraudó del precio, sabiéndolo también su mujer; y trayendo una parte, púsola á los pies de los apóstoles.
2 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.
3 ειπεν δε πετροσ ανανια δια τι επληρωσεν ο σατανασ την καρδιαν σου ψευσασθαι σε το πνευμα το αγιον και νοσφισασθαι σε απο τησ τιμησ του χωριου
3 Y dijo Pedro: Ananías, ¿por qué ha llenado Satanás tu corazón á que mintieses al Espíritu Santo, y defraudases del precio de la heredad?
3 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?
4 ουχι μενον σοι εμενεν και πραθεν εν τη ση εξουσια υπηρχεν τι οτι εθου εν τη καρδια σου το πραγμα τουτο ουκ εψευσω ανθρωποισ αλλα τω θεω
4 Reteniéndola, ¿no se te quedaba á ti? y vendida, ¿no estaba en tu potestad? ¿Por qué pusiste esto en tu corazón? No has mentido á los hombres, sino á Dios.
4 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.”
5 ακουων δε ο ανανιασ τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ πεσων εξεψυξεν και εγενετο φοβοσ μεγασ επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ ταυτα
5 Entonces Ananías, oyendo estas palabras, cayó y espiró. Y vino un gran temor sobre todos los que lo oyeron.
5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
6 ανασταντεσ δε οι νεωτεροι συνεστειλαν αυτον και εξενεγκαντεσ εθαψαν
6 Y levantándose los mancebos, le tomaron, y sacándolo, sepultáronlo.
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 εγενετο δε ωσ ωρων τριων διαστημα και η γυνη αυτου μη ειδυια το γεγονοσ εισηλθεν
7 Y pasado espacio como de tres horas, sucedió que entró su mujer, no sabiendo lo que había acontecido.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 απεκριθη δε αυτη ο πετροσ ειπε μοι ει τοσουτου το χωριον απεδοσθε η δε ειπεν ναι τοσουτου
8 Entonces Pedro le dijo: Dime: ¿vendisteis en tanto la heredad? Y ella dijo: Sí, en tanto.
8 Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
9 ο δε πετροσ ειπεν προσ αυτην τι οτι συνεφωνηθη υμιν πειρασαι το πνευμα κυριου ιδου οι ποδεσ των θαψαντων τον ανδρα σου επι τη θυρα και εξοισουσιν σε
9 Y Pedro le dijo: ¿Por qué os concertasteis para tentar al Espíritu del Señor? He aquí á la puerta los pies de los que han sepultado á tu marido, y te sacarán.
9 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.”
10 επεσεν δε παραχρημα παρα τουσ ποδασ αυτου και εξεψυξεν εισελθοντεσ δε οι νεανισκοι ευρον αυτην νεκραν και εξενεγκαντεσ εθαψαν προσ τον ανδρα αυτησ
10 Y luego cayó á los pies de él, y espiró: y entrados los mancebos, la hallaron muerta; y la sacaron, y la sepultaron junto á su marido.
10 She 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.
11 και εγενετο φοβοσ μεγασ εφ ολην την εκκλησιαν και επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ ταυτα
11 Y vino un gran temor en toda la iglesia, y en todos los que oyeron estas cosas.
11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.
12 δια δε των χειρων των αποστολων εγινετο σημεια και τερατα εν τω λαω πολλα και ησαν ομοθυμαδον απαντεσ εν τη στοα σολομωντοσ
12 Y por las manos de los apóstoles eran hechos muchos milagros y prodigios en el pueblo; y estaban todos unánimes en el pórtico de Salomón.
12 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.
13 των δε λοιπων ουδεισ ετολμα κολλασθαι αυτοισ αλλ εμεγαλυνεν αυτουσ ο λαοσ
13 Y de los otros, ninguno osaba juntarse con ellos; mas el pueblo los alababa grandemente.
13 None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.
14 μαλλον δε προσετιθεντο πιστευοντεσ τω κυριω πληθη ανδρων τε και γυναικων
14 Y los que creían en el Señor se aumentaban más, gran número así de hombres como de mujeres;
14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
15 ωστε κατα τασ πλατειασ εκφερειν τουσ ασθενεισ και τιθεναι επι κλινων και κραββατων ινα ερχομενου πετρου καν η σκια επισκιαση τινι αυτων
15 Tanto que echaban los enfermos por las calles, y los ponían en camas y en lechos, para que viniendo Pedro, á lo menos su sombra tocase á alguno de ellos.
15 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.
16 συνηρχετο δε και το πληθοσ των περιξ πολεων εισ ιερουσαλημ φεροντεσ ασθενεισ και οχλουμενουσ υπο πνευματων ακαθαρτων οιτινεσ εθεραπευοντο απαντεσ
16 Y aun de las ciudades vecinas concurría multitud á Jerusalem, trayendo enfermos y atormentados de espíritus inmundos; los cuales todos eran curados.
16 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.
17 αναστασ δε ο αρχιερευσ και παντεσ οι συν αυτω η ουσα αιρεσισ των σαδδουκαιων επλησθησαν ζηλου
17 Entonces levantándose el príncipe de los sacerdotes, y todos los que estaban con él, que es la secta de los Saduceos, se llenaron de celo;
17 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
18 και επεβαλον τασ χειρασ αυτων επι τουσ αποστολουσ και εθεντο αυτουσ εν τηρησει δημοσια
18 Y echaron mano á los apóstoles, y pusiéronlos en la cárcel pública.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.
19 αγγελοσ δε κυριου δια τησ νυκτοσ ηνοιξεν τασ θυρασ τησ φυλακησ εξαγαγων τε αυτουσ ειπεν
19 Mas el ángel del Señor, abriendo de noche las puertas de la cárcel, y sacándolos, dijo:
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,
20 πορευεσθε και σταθεντεσ λαλειτε εν τω ιερω τω λαω παντα τα ρηματα τησ ζωησ ταυτησ
20 Id, y estando en el templo, hablad al pueblo todas las palabras de esta vida.
20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
21 ακουσαντεσ δε εισηλθον υπο τον ορθρον εισ το ιερον και εδιδασκον παραγενομενοσ δε ο αρχιερευσ και οι συν αυτω συνεκαλεσαν το συνεδριον και πασαν την γερουσιαν των υιων ισραηλ και απεστειλαν εισ το δεσμωτηριον αχθηναι αυτουσ
21 Y oído que hubieron [esto], entraron de mañana en el templo, y enseñaban. Entre tanto, viniendo el príncipe de los sacerdotes, y los que eran con él, convocaron el concilio, y á todos los ancianos de los hijos de Israel, y enviaron á la cárcel para que fuesen traídos.
21 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.
22 οι δε υπηρεται παραγενομενοι ουχ ευρον αυτουσ εν τη φυλακη αναστρεψαντεσ δε απηγγειλαν
22 Mas como llegaron los ministros, y no los hallaron en la cárcel, volvieron, y dieron aviso,
22 But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
23 λεγοντεσ οτι το μεν δεσμωτηριον ευρομεν κεκλεισμενον εν παση ασφαλεια και τουσ φυλακασ εστωτασ προ των θυρων ανοιξαντεσ δε εσω ουδενα ευρομεν
23 Diciendo: Por cierto, la cárcel hemos hallado cerrada con toda seguridad, y los guardas que estaban delante de las puertas; mas cuando abrimos, á nadie hallamos dentro.
23 “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
24 ωσ δε ηκουσαν τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ο τε ιερευσ και ο στρατηγοσ του ιερου και οι αρχιερεισ διηπορουν περι αυτων τι αν γενοιτο τουτο
24 Y cuando oyeron estas palabras el pontífice y el magistrado del templo y los príncipes de los sacerdotes, dudaban en qué vendría á parar aquello.
24 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.
25 παραγενομενοσ δε τισ απηγγειλεν αυτοισ οτι ιδου οι ανδρεσ ουσ εθεσθε εν τη φυλακη εισιν εν τω ιερω εστωτεσ και διδασκοντεσ τον λαον
25 Pero viniendo uno, dióles [esta] noticia: He aquí, los varones que echasteis en la cárcel, están en el templo, y enseñan al pueblo.
25 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
26 τοτε απελθων ο στρατηγοσ συν τοισ υπηρεταισ ηγαγεν αυτουσ ου μετα βιασ εφοβουντο γαρ τον λαον ινα μη λιθασθωσιν
26 Entonces fué el magistrado con los ministros, y trájolos sin violencia; porque temían del pueblo ser apedreados.
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
27 αγαγοντεσ δε αυτουσ εστησαν εν τω συνεδριω και επηρωτησεν αυτουσ ο αρχιερευσ
27 Y como los trajeron, los presentaron en el concilio: y el príncipe de los sacerdotes les preguntó,
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
28 λεγων ου παραγγελια παρηγγειλαμεν υμιν μη διδασκειν επι τω ονοματι τουτω και ιδου πεπληρωκατε την ιερουσαλημ τησ διδαχησ υμων και βουλεσθε επαγαγειν εφ ημασ το αιμα του ανθρωπου τουτου
28 Diciendo: ¿No os denunciamos estrechamente, que no enseñaseis en este nombre? y he aquí, habéis llenado á Jerusalem de vuestra doctrina, y queréis echar sobre nosotros la sangre de este hombre.
28 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.”
29 αποκριθεισ δε πετροσ και οι αποστολοι ειπον πειθαρχειν δει θεω μαλλον η ανθρωποισ
29 Y respondiendo Pedro y los apóstoles, dijeron: Es menester obedecer á Dios antes que á los hombres.
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
30 ο θεοσ των πατερων ημων ηγειρεν ιησουν ον υμεισ διεχειρισασθε κρεμασαντεσ επι ξυλου
30 El Dios de nuestros padres levantó á Jesús, al cual vosotros matasteis colgándole en un madero.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
31 τουτον ο θεοσ αρχηγον και σωτηρα υψωσεν τη δεξια αυτου δουναι μετανοιαν τω ισραηλ και αφεσιν αμαρτιων
31 A éste ha Dios ensalzado con su diestra por Príncipe y Salvador, para dar á Israel arrepentimiento y remisión de pecados.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
32 και ημεισ εσμεν αυτου μαρτυρεσ των ρηματων τουτων και το πνευμα δε το αγιον ο εδωκεν ο θεοσ τοισ πειθαρχουσιν αυτω
32 Y nosotros somos testigos suyos de estas cosas, y también el Espíritu Santo, el cual ha dado Dios á los que le obedecen.
32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 οι δε ακουοντεσ διεπριοντο και εβουλευοντο ανελειν αυτουσ
33 Ellos, oyendo esto, regañaban, y consultaban matarlos.
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
34 αναστασ δε τισ εν τω συνεδριω φαρισαιοσ ονοματι γαμαλιηλ νομοδιδασκαλοσ τιμιοσ παντι τω λαω εκελευσεν εξω βραχυ τι τουσ αποστολουσ ποιησαι
34 Entonces levantándose en el concilio un Fariseo llamado Gamaliel, doctor de la ley, venerable á todo el pueblo, mandó que sacasen fuera un poco á los apóstoles.
34 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.
35 ειπεν τε προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ ισραηλιται προσεχετε εαυτοισ επι τοισ ανθρωποισ τουτοισ τι μελλετε πρασσειν
35 Y les dijo: Varones Israelitas, mirad por vosotros acerca de estos hombres en lo que habéis de hacer.
35 He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
36 προ γαρ τουτων των ημερων ανεστη θευδασ λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον ω προσεκληθη αριθμοσ ανδρων ωσει τετρακοσιων οσ ανηρεθη και παντεσ οσοι επειθοντο αυτω διελυθησαν και εγενοντο εισ ουδεν
36 Porque antes de estos días se levantó Teudas, diciendo que era alguien; al que se agregó un número de hombres como cuatrocientos: el cual fué matado; y todos los que le creyeron fueron dispersos, y reducidos á nada.
36 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.
37 μετα τουτον ανεστη ιουδασ ο γαλιλαιοσ εν ταισ ημεραισ τησ απογραφησ και απεστησεν λαον ικανον οπισω αυτου κακεινοσ απωλετο και παντεσ οσοι επειθοντο αυτω διεσκορπισθησαν
37 Después de éste, se levantó Judas el Galileo en los días del empadronamiento, y llevó mucho pueblo tras sí. Pereció también aquél; y todos los que consintieron con él, fueron derramados.
37 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.
38 και τα νυν λεγω υμιν αποστητε απο των ανθρωπων τουτων και εασατε αυτουσ οτι εαν η εξ ανθρωπων η βουλη η το εργον τουτο καταλυθησεται
38 Y ahora os digo: Dejaos de estos hombres, y dejadlos; porque si este consejo ó esta obra es de los hombres, se desvanecerá:
38 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.
39 ει δε εκ θεου εστιν ου δυνασθε καταλυσαι αυτο μηποτε και θεομαχοι ευρεθητε
39 Mas si es de Dios, no la podréis deshacer; no seáis tal vez hallados resistiendo á Dios.
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
40 επεισθησαν δε αυτω και προσκαλεσαμενοι τουσ αποστολουσ δειραντεσ παρηγγειλαν μη λαλειν επι τω ονοματι του ιησου και απελυσαν αυτουσ
40 Y convinieron con él: y llamando á los apóstoles, después de azotados, les intimaron que no hablasen en el nombre de Jesús, y soltáronlos.
40 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.
41 οι μεν ουν επορευοντο χαιροντεσ απο προσωπου του συνεδριου οτι υπερ του ονοματοσ του ιησου κατηξιωθησαν ατιμασθηναι
41 Y ellos partieron de delante del concilio, gozosos de que fuesen tenidos por dignos de padecer afrenta por el Nombre.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.
42 πασαν τε ημεραν εν τω ιερω και κατ οικον ουκ επαυοντο διδασκοντεσ και ευαγγελιζομενοι ιησουν τον χριστον
42 Y todos los días, en el templo y por las casas, no cesaban de enseñar y predicar á Jesucristo.
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"Having risen up," that is, being roused, being excited at the things taking place, the high-priest and they which were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees) were filled with indignation, and laid their hands on the Apostles:" they now assault them more vigorously: "and put them in the common prison;" but did not forthwith bring them to …

… are in this witnesses of these words; as also is the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that believe in Him." "And daily," it is said, "in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and preach Christ Jesus," the Son of God.
Was it night when, as the disciples were passing by, the sick were laid in couches, that they might be touched at least by their shadow as they passed? Yet, when the Lord was here, there was no one made whole by His shadow as He passed; but He Himself had said to the disciples, "Greater things than these shall …

As when they said, "Did not we straitly command you, that ye should not speak in this name?" although able to work any number of miracles, they neither said nor did anything harsh, but answered for themselves with all meekness, saying, "Whether it be right to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye." Hast thou seen the harmlessness …

… the blessed Paul is one, having been a little while His enemy, but for a long time His servant: the Twelve Apostles are His witnesses, having preached the truth not only in words, but also by their own torments and deaths: the shadow of Peter bears witness, having healed the sick in the name of Christ.
