Acts 5 · Grade 4

Truth and Courage

Name Date

Read and Think

Ananias and Sapphira sold land and kept back part of the price while acting as if they gave it all. Peter said the land was theirs to keep. Their sin was lying to the Holy Spirit. Ananias fell down and died. Hours later Sapphira told the same lie and died too. Great fear came on the whole church.

Many signs were done by the apostles. Crowds brought the sick from towns near Jerusalem, and they were all healed. More believers were added to the Lord.

The high priest and the Sadducees were filled with jealousy. They put the apostles in the public prison. But an angel opened the doors by night and told them to speak "all the words of this life" in the temple.

Brought before the council, Peter said, "We must obey God rather than men." Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, said that if this work was of men, it would fail. But if it was of God, they could not stop it. The apostles were beaten and let go. They left rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer for the name. They never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ (Acts 5:42).

Acts 5 · Grade 5

Obeying God Rather Than Men

Name Date

Read and Think

Ananias, with his wife Sapphira's knowledge, sold a possession and kept back part of the price, laying only a portion at the apostles' feet as though it were all. Peter asked why Satan had filled his heart to lie to the Holy Spirit; the land and its price were his own to keep. Ananias fell down and died, and about three hours later Sapphira repeated the lie and died as well. Great fear came on the whole assembly and on all who heard.

Many signs and wonders were done by the apostles in Solomon's porch. The people held them in honor, multitudes of men and women believed, and the sick from the towns around Jerusalem were all healed.

Filled with jealousy, the high priest and the Sadducees put the apostles in the public prison. An angel of the Lord opened the doors by night and sent them to the temple to speak "all the words of this life." The officers found the prison locked and the guards standing, but the apostles were in the temple teaching.

Questioned by the high priest, Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men." They witnessed that God raised Jesus and exalted him as Prince and Savior (Acts 5:31). When the council wanted to kill them, Gamaliel, a Pharisee honored by all the people, warned that a work of men would be overthrown, but a work of God could not be, and they might be found fighting against God. The apostles were beaten, forbidden to speak, and released. They rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus' name, and every day they kept teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ (Acts 5:42).

  2. Gamaliel said a work of God cannot be overthrown. How does that give you courage when you face opposition?
