| 4 | S'il n'eût pas été vendu, ne te restait-il pas ? Et, après qu'il a été vendu, le prix n'était-il pas à ta disposition ? Comment as-tu pu mettre en ton coeur un pareil dessein ? Ce n'est pas à des hommes que tu as menti, mais à Dieu. | Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. | While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power?

And she said, Yea, for so much. | And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much. |
| 9 | Alors Pierre lui dit : Comment vous êtes-vous accordés pour tenter l'Esprit du Seigneur ? Voici, ceux qui ont enseveli ton mari sont à la porte, et ils t'emporteront. | Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. | But Peter [said] unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out. |

| 24 | Lorsqu'ils eurent entendu ces paroles, le commandant du temple et les principaux sacrificateurs ne savaient que penser des apôtres et des suites de cette affaire. | Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow. | Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow. |

| 38 | Et maintenant, je vous le dis ne vous occupez plus de ces hommes, et laissez-les aller. Si cette entreprise ou cette oeuvre vient des hommes, elle se détruira ; | And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: | And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown: |
