his Christ{Christ (Greek) and Messiah (Hebrew) both mean Anointed One.}.'{Psalm 2:1-2} 004:027 "For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 004:028 to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen. 004:029 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, 004:030 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus." 004:031 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. 004:032 The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 004:033 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all. 004:034 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 004:035 and laid them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need. 004:036 Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race, 004:037 having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet. 005:001 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira, his wife, sold a possession, 005:002 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 005:003 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? 005:004 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." 005:005 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things. 005:006 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him. 005:007 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. 005:008 Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much." 005:009 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."
