Gen Z: Acts 5
1So there was this dude named Ananias, and his wifey Sapphira, who sold some stuff,
2But they kept some cash on the low, wifey was in on it too, and brought just a slice to the apostles.
3Peter was like, "Ananias, why you gotta let Satan mess with your heart and lie to the Holy Ghost, keeping some of that land dough?"
4Like, when you had it, it was yours, and after you sold it, you could've done whatever, so why you trippin' in your heart? You ain't just lying to people, but to God, no cap.
5Ananias heard this and just dropped dead, and everyone was shook by what went down.
6The young guys got up, wrapped him up, and took him out to bury him.
7A few hours later, his wife rolled in, clueless about what just happened.
8Peter asked her, "Did you sell the land for this much?" She was like, "Yup, for that much."
9Then Peter said, "How could you two team up to test the Spirit of the Lord? The feet of those who buried your hubby are at the door, and they’re about to take you out too."
10She straight up dropped at his feet and gave up the ghost, and the young guys came in, found her dead, and took her out to bury her next to her man.
11Everyone in the church was shook, like, "Whoa, this is wild."
12The apostles were out here flexing mad signs and wonders, all vibing together in Solomon’s spot.
13No one dared to roll with them, but people were like, "These guys are legit."
14More and more peeps were joining the fam, both guys and girls, no cap.
15They even brought the sick into the streets, hoping Peter's shadow would bless them.
16A whole squad from nearby cities showed up to Jerusalem with sick folks and those dealing with bad vibes, and they all got healed, fr.
17Then the high priest popped off, with his crew (the Sadducees), and they were so mad.
18They grabbed the apostles and threw them in jail, savage move.
19But the Lord’s angel came through at night, opened the cell doors, and was like, "Let’s bounce."
20He said, "Go and spill the tea in the temple about this life."
21They heard that and bounced to the temple super early, teaching the vibes. But the high priest and his crew pulled up, called the council, and sent to the prison to grab them.
22When the officers showed up and didn’t find them in the clink, they came back and spilled the tea.
23They said, "The prison was all locked down tight, and the guards were chilling outside, but when we checked inside, it was empty, no cap."
24When the high priest and the temple captain heard this, they were like, "What’s the tea? This could get wild."
25Then someone came through and said, "Yo, the guys you locked up are just vibing in the temple, teaching the crowd."
26The captain and the officers went to get them without any drama, 'cause they were scared the people might go savage on them.
27They brought them in and set them in front of the council, and the high priest was like,
28"Didn’t we tell you straight up not to teach in this name? You’ve lowkey filled Jerusalem with your message and are trying to put this guy’s blood on us."
29Peter and the other apostles were like, "We gotta obey God, not people, fr."
30"The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, the one you guys killed and hung on a tree."
31God just leveled up Jesus, making Him the ultimate Prince and Savior, giving Israel a chance to vibe with repentance and forgiveness, no cap.
32We’re the squad that’s seen all this go down; the Holy Ghost is also in the mix, backing up those who obey God, fr.
33When they heard that, it hit different, and they were like, “We gotta take them out.”
34Then this Pharisee named Gamaliel, who had mad respect and was a law expert, stood up and told the apostles to chill for a sec.
35He said, “Yo, people of Israel, watch yourselves and think about what you’re trying to do to these guys.”
36Before this, there was Theudas, flexing like he was a big deal; about 400 dudes followed him, but he got taken out, and his crew scattered, periodt.
37Then Judas from Galilee popped off during tax time, pulling a crowd with him, but he also got wrecked, and everyone who followed was dispersed.
38So I’m telling you, chill on these dudes and let them be; if this plan is just people stuff, it’ll flop.
39But if it’s from God, you can’t stop it; you might end up fighting against God, and that’s sus.
40They were like, “Bet,” and after calling the apostles, they gave them a beatdown and said not to speak Jesus’ name, then let them go.
41They bounced from the council, vibing hard that they got the rizz to suffer for His name.
42Every single day in the temple and at all the crib, they kept it going, teaching and preaching about Jesus Christ, no cap.
