PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:
(Handelinge 4:32-37)
ANANIAS EN SAFFIRA:
- Die groot getal wat gelowig geword het, was een van hart en siel. Niemand het sy goed net vir homself gehou nie, maar hulle het alles met mekaar gedeel.
- Die apostels het kragdadiglik getuig dat die Here Jesus uit die dood opgewek is, en die genade van God was groot oor hulle almal.
- Nie een van hulle het gebrek gely nie, want dié wat grond of huise besit het, het dit verkoop en die verkoopsprys daarvan gebring,
- en vir díe apostels gegee. Hulle het dit dan uitgedeel volgens elkeen se behoefte.
- Josef, ‘n Leviet wat op Siprus gebore is, en deur die apostels Barnabas genoem is, – dit beteken iemand wat mense moed inpraat –
- het ook die grond wat hy gehad het verkoop, en die geld gebring, en dit vir die apostels gegee.
(Handelinge 5:1-11)
- Daar was ook ‘n sekere man Ananias en sy vrou Saffira, wat ‘n eiendom verkoop het.
- Met die medewete van sy vrou, het hy van díe verkoopsprys vir hulleself agtergehou, en net ‘n gedeelte daarvan gebring, en vir díe apostels gegee.
- Petrus sê toe vir hom: “Ananias, hoekom het jy jou deur die satan laat omhaal om vir die Heilige Gees te lieg? En van die verkoopsprys vir jouself agter te hou?
- “Die grond was mos joune, en toe dit verkoop is, kon jy met die geld gemaak het wat jy wou. Wat het jou besiel om dit te doen?Jy het nie vir mense gelieg nie, maar vir God.”
- Toe Ananias dit hoor, het hy dood neergeval; en al die ander wat dit gehoor het, het baie bang geword.
- ‘n Paar van die jong manne het nader gekom, hom toegedraai en gaan begrawe.
- Omtrent drie uur later, het sy vrou daar aangekom, onbewus van wat gebeur het.
- Petrus vra toe vir haar: “Sê vir my, het julle die grond vir soveel verkoop?” ‘Ja,’ sê sy, ‘vir soveel.’
- Toe sê Petrus vir haar; “Waarom het julle ooreen gekom om die Gees van die Here uit te tart? Die mense wat jou man begrawe het, is nou net weer by die deur, en hulle sal jou ook uitdra.”
- Sy het onmiddellik voor Petrus dood neergeval. Die jongmanne het ingekom, gesien sy is dood, en haar by haar man gaan begrawe.
- Die hele Gemeente en al die ander mense wat hiervan gehoor het, het baie bang geword.

PEARL FOR EACH DAY:
(Acts 4:32-37)
ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA:
- The full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him, was his own, but they had everything in common.
- And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
- There were not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold,
- and laid it at the apostle’s feet. And it was distributed to each as any had need.
- Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas, (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
- sold a field that belonged to him, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles feet.
(Acts 5:1-11)
- But a man named Ananias with his wife Sapphira,sold a piece of property,
- and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds, and brought only a part of it, and laid it at the apostle’s feet.
- But Peter, said: “Ananias why has satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?
- “While it was unsold,did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God!”
- When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.
- The young men rose and wrapped him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
- After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
- And Peter said to her: “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” And she said: ‘Yes, for so much.’
- But Peter said to her: “How is it that you have agreed together to test 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.”
- Immediately she fell down at his feet, and breathed her last. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out, and buried her beside her husband.
- And great fear came on the whole Church and on all who heard about these things.
