While

and John
were
speaking to
the people, the priests and the captain
of the temple guard
and the Sadducees came
up
to
them,
And as
they
are
speaking unto
the people, there
came
to
them
the priests ,
and the magistrate
of the temple ,
and the Sadducees --
greatly
disturbed
that
they
were
teaching the people and proclaiming
in Jesus the resurrection
of the dead .
being
grieved
because
of
their
teaching the people ,
and preaching
in Jesus the rising
again
out
of the dead --
They
seized
Peter
and John
, and because
it
was
evening,
they
put them in custody until
the next
day.
and they
laid
hands
upon
them
, and did
put them in custody unto
the morrow,
for
it
was
evening
already;
But
many who
heard
the message
believed
, and the number of men grew
to
about
five thousand.
and
many of
those
hearing
the word
did
believe
, and the number of the
men became,
as
it
were,
five thousand.
The next
day
the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled
in
Jerusalem,
And
it
came
to
pass
upon
the morrow,
there
were
gathered
together
of
them
the rulers, and
elders, and scribes ,
to
Jerusalem,
along
with
Annas the high
priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others
from
the high
priest’s
family.
and
Annas the chief
priest, and
Caiaphas, and
John, and
Alexander, and as
many as
were
of
the kindred
of
the
chief
priest,
They
had
Peter
and John
brought
in
and
began
to
question
them :
“By
what power or what name did you
do this? ”
and having
set
them in
the
midst,
they
were
inquiring,
`In
what power ,
or in
what name did ye
do this? '
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to
them ,
“
Rulers and
elders
of the people !
Then Peter, having
been
filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto
them :
`
Rulers of the people ,
and
elders
of
Israel,
If we are being
examined today
about
a
kind
service
to a
man who
was
lame
, to
determine
how
he was
healed
,
if we to-day
are examined concerning
the
good
deed
to the
ailing
man, by
whom
he hath
been
saved
,
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
.
be it
known to all of you ,
and to all the people of Israel ,
that
in
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye
did
crucify,
whom God did
raise
out
of
the dead, in
him
hath
this one
stood
by
before you whole
.
This Jesus
is ‘
the stone you builders rejected
, which
has
become
the
cornerstone.’
`
This is the stone that
was
set
at
nought
by
you --
the
builders, that
became
head
of
a
corner;
Salvation exists
in no
one
else
, for there is no other name under heaven given to
men by
which we
must
be saved. ”
and
there
is
not
salvation in any
other
, for there is no other name under the
heaven that
hath
been
given among
men ,
in
which it
behoveth
us
to
be saved. '
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
beholding
the openness
of Peter and John ,
and having
perceived
that they are
men unlettered
and
plebeian
, they were
wondering
--
they
were
taking
knowledge
also
of
them
that with Jesus they
had
been
--
And seeing the man who
had
been
healed
standing there
with them, they had nothing to say in
response.
and seeing the man standing with them who
hath
been
healed
, they had nothing to say against
`it',
So
they
ordered
them to leave
the Sanhedrin
and
then
conferred
together.
and
having
commanded
them to go
away
out
of
the sanhedrim,
they
took
counsel
with
one
another,
“
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 .
saying,
`
What shall we do to
these men? because
that ,
indeed,
a notable
sign
hath
been
done
through them, to
all
those
dwelling
in
Jerusalem
`is'
manifest,
and we are
not
able
to
deny `
it ';
But to
keep
this
message
from
spreading
any
further among
the people, we
must
warn
them not
to speak to
anyone
in this name. ”
but that
it
may
spread
no
further toward
the people, let
us
strictly
threaten
them no
more
to speak in this name to
any
man
. '
Then
they
called them in
again
and
commanded
them not to speak or
teach
at all in the name of Jesus .
And
having
called them ,
they
charged
them not to speak at all ,
nor
to
teach,
in the name of Jesus ,
But
Peter and John replied
, “Judge
for
yourselves
whether it is right
in
God’s
sight
to listen
to you rather than God .
and
Peter and John answering
unto
them
said
, `
Whether it is righteous
before
God
to hearken
to you rather than to
God ,
judge
ye;
For we cannot stop
speaking
about
what we have
seen
and heard
. ”
for we cannot but
speak
what we did
see
and hear
. '
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.
And
they having
further
threatened
`them',
let them go ,
finding
nothing
how
they may
punish them, because of
the people ,
because
all
were glorifying God for that
which
hath
been
done,
For the
man
who
was
miraculously
healed
was
over
forty years old
.
for above
forty years of
age
was
the
man
upon
whom
had
been
done
this
sign
of
the
healing
.
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 being
let
go,
they
went
unto
their own friends,
and declared
whatever
the chief priests and the
elders said unto
them ,
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 .
and
they
having
heard, with one accord did
lift
up
the
voice
unto
God
, and
said, `Lord,
thou
`art'
God,
who
didst
make
the heaven ,
and the earth ,
and the sea ,
and all
that
`are'
in them ,
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?
who,
through the mouth of David
thy
servant, did
say,
Why did
nations rage ,
and peoples meditate
vain things
?
The kings of the earth take
their
stand
and the rulers gather
together against the Lord and against His Anointed
One.’
the kings of the earth stood
up,
and the rulers were
gathered
together against the Lord and against His Christ;
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.
for
gathered
together
of
a
truth
against
Thy
holy
child
Jesus
, whom
Thou
didst
anoint,
were
both
Herod and Pontius Pilate ,
with nations
and peoples
of Israel,
They
carried
out
what
Your
hand and will
had
decided
beforehand
would
happen
.
to
do
whatever
Thy
hand and Thy
counsel
did
determine
before
to
come
to
pass
.
And now, Lord, consider
their threats
, and enable
Your
servants to speak Your
word with
complete
boldness
,
`
And now, Lord, look
upon
their threatenings
, and grant
to
Thy
servants with
all
freedom
to speak Thy
word,
as
You
stretch
out
Your
hand to
heal
and perform
signs and wonders through the name of Your
holy servant
Jesus. ”
in
the
stretching
forth
of
Thy
hand ,
for
healing,
and signs ,
and wonders ,
to
come
to
pass
through the name of Thy
holy child
Jesus. '
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
they having
prayed, the
place was shaken in
which
they
were
gathered
together
, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit ,
and were
speaking
the word of God with
freedom,
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
of
the multitude of those
who
did
believe
the
heart and the
soul was
one ,
and
not
one

that anything
of the
things
he
had
was his own, but all
things
were
to
them
in
common
.

There were
no
needy
ones
among them ,
because
those
who owned
lands
or houses would
sell
their
property
, bring
the proceeds
from

there was
not
any
one
among them who did
