unto
the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon
them,
While
Peter
and John
were
speaking
to
the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard

troubled
because
they taught
the people ,
and proclaimed
in Jesus the resurrection from
the dead.
greatly
disturbed
that
they were
teaching
the people and proclaiming
in Jesus the resurrection of
the dead.
And
they laid
hands
on
them
, and put them in ward
unto
the morrow:
for
it
was
now
eventide
.
They seized
Peter
and
John
, and because
it
was
evening,
they
put them in custody
until
the next
day
.
But many of
them
that
heard the word
believed ;
and the number of the
men came
to be
about five thousand.
But many who
heard the message
believed ,
and the number of men grew
to about five thousand.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
their
rulers and
elders and scribes were
gathered
together
in Jerusalem ;
The next
day
the
rulers ,
elders ,
and scribes assembled
in Jerusalem ,
and
Annas the high priest `was
there'
, and
Caiaphas, and
John, and
Alexander, and as
many as
were
of
the
kindred
of
the high priest
.
along
with
Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others
from
the high priest’s
family
.
And
when
they had set
them
in the
midst,
they
inquired,
By what power ,
or in
what name ,
have
ye
done
this?
They had Peter
and
John
brought
in and
began
to
question
them:
“
By what power or what name did
you
do
this? ”
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto
them, Ye
rulers of the people ,
and
elders,
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to
them, “
Rulers and
elders
of the people !
if we this
day
are examined concerning
a good
deed
done
to an
impotent
man, by
what
means
this
man
is
made
whole;
If we are being
examined today
about
a kind
service
to a
man who
was
lame
, to
determine
how
he
was
healed,
be it
known unto
you
all ,
and to all the people of Israel ,
that
in
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye
crucified ,
whom God raised from the dead, `even'
in
him
doth
this man stand
here
before you whole
.
then
let
this
be known to
all of
you
and to all the people of Israel :
It
is
by
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you
crucified but
whom God raised from the dead, that
this man stands
before you healed
.
He
is the stone which
was
set
at
nought
of
you the
builders, which was
made
the
head
of
the corner
.
This
Jesus
is ‘
the stone you builders rejected
, which has
become
the cornerstone
. ’
And
in
none
other
is
there
salvation :
for neither
is
there any
other name under heaven ,
that
is
given among
men ,
wherein
we must be saved.
Salvation exists
in
no
one
else,
for there is
no
other name under heaven given to
men by
which
we must be saved. ”
Now
when they beheld
the boldness of Peter and John ,
and had
perceived
that they were unlearned
and
ignorant
men, they marvelled;
and they
took knowledge
of
them,
that they
had been with Jesus.
When they saw
the boldness of Peter and John and realized
that they were unschooled,
ordinary
men, they marveled
and took note
that these
men
had been with Jesus.
And seeing the man that
was
healed standing with them, they could
say
nothing against
it
.
And seeing the man who
had
been
healed standing there
with them, they had
nothing to
say
in
response
.
But
when
they had
commanded
them to go
aside
out
of
the council,
they
conferred among
themselves,
So
they ordered
them to leave
the Sanhedrin
and
then
conferred together.
saying,
What shall we do to
these men? for
that indeed
a notable
miracle hath
been
wrought
through them, is
manifest
to
all
that
dwell
in
Jerusalem;
and we cannot deny it.
“
What shall we do with
these men? ”
they
asked.
“It
is
clear
to
everyone
living
in
Jerusalem
that a remarkable
miracle has
occurred
through them, and we cannot deny it.
But that
it
spread
no
further among the people, let
us
threaten
them ,
that
they
speak henceforth
to no
man
in this name.
But to
keep
this
message
from
spreading
any
further among the people, we
must
warn
them not
to
speak to anyone
in this name. ”
And
they called them ,
and charged
them not to speak at all nor
teach
in the name of Jesus.
Then
they called them in
again
and commanded
them not to speak or
teach
at all in the name of Jesus.
But Peter and John answered
and
said
unto
them
, Whether it is right in the
sight of
God
to hearken
unto
you rather than unto
God ,
judge
ye:
But Peter and John replied
, “Judge
for
yourselves
whether it is right in God’s
sight to listen
to
you rather than God .
for we cannot but
speak
the
things
which
we saw
and heard.
For we cannot stop
speaking
about
what
we have
seen
and heard. ”
And
they,
when
they
had
further threatened
them,
let them go ,
finding
nothing
how
they might
punish them, because of
the people ;
for
all
men
glorified
God for that
which
was
done
.
After
further threats
they
let them go .
They could
not
find
a
way
to
punish them, because all
the people were
glorifying
God for what
had
happened
.
For the man was more
than
forty years old ,
on
whom
this
miracle
of
healing
was
wrought
.
For the man who
was miraculously
healed
was
over
forty years old.
And
being
let
go
, they
came
to their own company,
and reported all
that the chief priests and the
elders had said unto
them.
On
their
release
, Peter
and
John
returned
to their own people
and reported everything
that the chief priests and elders had said to
them.
And
they,
when they
heard it
, lifted up their voice
to God with one accord, and
said, O
Lord,
thou
that
didst
make
the heaven and the earth and the sea ,
and all
that
in them is:
When the
believers
heard this
, they
lifted up their voices
to God with one accord .
“Sovereign
Lord
, ”
they
said, “You
made
the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything
in them .
who
by the Holy Spirit ,
`by'
the mouth of our father David thy
servant,
didst
say,
Why did
the Gentiles
rage ,
And the peoples imagine
vain things
?
You
spoke
by the Holy Spirit through
the mouth of Your
servant,
our father David :
‘
Why do
the nations
rage and the peoples plot
in
vain?
The kings of the earth set
themselves
in
array,
And the rulers were
gathered
together ,
Against the Lord ,
and against his Anointed :
The kings of the earth take
their
stand
and the rulers gather
together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’
for
of
a
truth
in this city against
thy
holy
Servant
Jesus,
whom
thou
didst
anoint,
both
Herod and Pontius Pilate ,
with the Gentiles and the peoples
of Israel ,
were
gathered
together
,
In fact,
this is
the
very
city where
Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired
with the Gentiles and the people
of Israel against
Your
holy
servant
Jesus
, whom
You
anointed.
to
do
whatsoever
thy
hand and thy
council
foreordained
to
come
to
pass
.
They
carried
out
what
Your
hand and will
had
decided
beforehand
would
happen
.
And now, Lord, look
upon
their threatenings:
and grant
unto
thy
servants to speak thy
word with all
boldness,
And now, Lord, consider
their threats,
and enable
Your
servants to speak Your
word with complete
boldness,
while
thy
stretchest
forth
thy
hand to heal ;
and that
signs and wonders may
be
done
through the name of thy
holy Servant Jesus.
as
You
stretch
out
Your
hand to heal and perform
signs and wonders through the name of Your
holy servant Jesus. ”
And
when
they had prayed, the
place was shaken wherein
they
were
gathered
together;
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit ,
and they
spake
the word of God with
boldness
.
After
they had prayed, their
meeting
place was shaken ,
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke
the word of God boldly
.
And
the multitude of them
that
believed
were
of
one heart and soul :
and
not
one `of
them'
said
that aught
of the
things
which
he
possessed
was his own ;
but they had
all
things
common
.
The multitude of believers
was
one in
heart and soul .
No
one claimed
that any
of his
possessions
was his own ,
but they shared
everything
they
owned
.
And
with great power gave
the apostles their witness
of
the resurrection of the Lord Jesus :
and great
grace was upon them all.
With great power the apostles continued
to
give
their testimony
about
the resurrection of the Lord Jesus .
And abundant
grace was upon them all.

lacked:
for
as
many
as
were
possessors
of
lands or houses sold
them
, and
brought
the prices
of
the things
that
were
sold
,
There were
no
needy
ones
among them ,
because
those
who
owned
lands or houses would
sell
their
property
, bring
the proceeds
from
the sales
,
and laid
them at the apostles '
feet :
and
distribution was
made
unto
each,
according
as any
one
had need.
