¹² and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.

⁵⁰ and Jesus said to him, `Comrade, for what art thou present?' Then having come near, they laid hands on Jesus, and took hold on him.

¹³ `And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me?

²⁰ `For I say to you, that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens.

¹¹ having known that he hath been subverted who `is' such, and doth sin, being self-condemned.

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

¹⁹ And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;

²⁰ And Peter said unto him, `Thy silver with thee -- may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;

²¹ thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;

²² reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,

²³ for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.'

² and did keep back of the price -- his wife also knowing -- and having brought a certain part, at the feet of the apostles he laid `it'.

³ And Peter said, `Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place?

⁴ while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been sold, in thy authority was it not? why `is' it that thou didst put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to God;'

⁵ and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things,

⁶ and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried `him'.

⁷ And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what hath happened, came in,

⁸ and Peter answered her, `Tell me if for so much ye sold the place;' and she said, `Yes, for so much.'

⁹ And Peter said unto her, `How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband `are' at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;'

¹⁰ and she fell down presently at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried `her' by her husband;

¹¹ and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.

²⁶ As the shame of a thief when he is found, So put to shame have been the house of Israel, They, their kings, their heads, And their priests, and their prophets,

²³ How sayest thou, `I have not been defiled, After the Baalim I have not gone?' See thy way in a valley, know what thou hast done, A swift dromedary winding her ways,

⁴² The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.

¹⁶ And there is hope to the poor, And perverseness hath shut her mouth.

⁹ The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.
