Acts1:14 All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Acts1:15 In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said: (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty:) Acts1:16 Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus: Acts1:17 Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Acts1:18 And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out. Acts1:19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. Acts1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take. Acts1:21 Wherefore of these men who have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us, Acts1:22 Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection. Acts1:23 And they appointed two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. Acts1:24 And praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, Acts1:25 To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place. Acts1:26 And they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Acts 5:1-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land, Acts5:2 And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles. Acts5:3 But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land? Acts5:4 Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God. Acts5:5 And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it. Acts5:6 And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him. Acts5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. Acts5:8 And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much. Acts5:9 And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out. Acts5:10 Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband. Acts5:11 And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.

Gal 2:11-14 But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. Gal 2:12 For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision. Gal 2:13 And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation. Gal 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
