Acts 4

1 And as they spake vnto the people, the Priestes and the Captaine of the Temple, and the Sadduces came vpon them,

And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

2 Taking it grieuously that they taught the people, and preached in Iesus Name the resurrection from the dead.

being distressed on account of their teaching the people and preaching by Jesus the resurrection from among [the] dead;

3 And they layde handes on them, and put them in holde, vntill the next day: for it was now euentide.

and they laid hands on them, and put them in ward till the morrow; for it was already evening.

4 Howbeit, many of them which heard the word, beleeued, and the number of the men was about fiue thousand.

But many of those who had heard the word believed; and the number of the men had become [about] five thousand.

5 And it came to passe on the morow, that their rulers, and Elders, and Scribes, were gathered together at Hierusalem,

And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem,

6 And Annas the chiefe Priest, and Caiaphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the hie Priestes.

and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of [the] high priestly family;

7 And whe they had set them before them, they asked, By what power, or in what Name haue ye done this?

and having placed them in the midst they inquired, In what power or in what name have ye done this?

8 Then Peter ful of the holy Ghost, said vnto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel,

Then Peter, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders [of Israel],

9 For as much as we this day are examined of the good deede done to the impotent man, to wit, by what meanes he is made whole,

if we this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed [done] to the infirm man, how he has been healed,

10 Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye haue crucified, whome God raised againe from the dead, euen by him doth this man stand here before you, whole.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom ye have crucified, whom God has raised from among [the] dead, by him this [man] stands here before you sound [in body].

11 This is the stone cast aside of you builders which is become the head of the corner.

He is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone.

12 Neither is there saluation in any other: for among men there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued.

And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.

13 Now when they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstoode that they were vnlearned men and without knowledge, they marueiled, and knew them, that they had bin with Iesus:

But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.

14 And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to reply;

15 Then they commanded them to goe aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselues,

but having commanded them to go out of the council they conferred with one another,

16 Saying, What shall we doe to these men? for surely a manifest signe is done by them, and it is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Hierusalem: and we cannot denie it.

saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed an evident sign has come to pass through their means is manifest to all that inhabit Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

17 But that it be noysed no farther among the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hencefoorth to no man in this Name.

But that it be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name.

18 So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speake or teach in the Name of Iesus.

And having called them, they charged [them] not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, iudge ye.

But Peter and John answering said to them, If it be righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye;

20 For we cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.

for as for us we cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.

21 So they threatened them, and let them goe, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.

But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place;

22 For the man was aboue fourtie yeeres olde, on whome this miracle of healing was shewed.

for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old.

23 Then assoone as they were let goe, they came to their fellowes, and shewed all that the hie Priestes and Elders had said vnto them.

And having been let go, they came to their own [company], and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24 And when they heard it, they lift vp their voyces to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou art the God which hast made the heaue, and the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,

And they, having heard [it], lifted up [their] voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;

25 Which by the mouth of thy seruant Dauid hast saide, Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vaine things?

who hast said by the mouth of thy servant David, Why have [the] nations raged haughtily and [the] peoples meditated vain things?

26 The Kings of the earth assembled, and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

The kings of the earth were there, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.

27 For doutlesse, against thine holy Sonne Iesus, whome thou haddest anoynted, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered themselues together,

For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with [the] nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city

28 To doe whatsoeuer thine hand, and thy counsell had determined before to be done.

to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had determined before should come to pass.

29 And nowe, O Lord, beholde their threatnings, and graunt vnto thy seruants with all boldnesse to speake thy word,

And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and give to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,

30 So that thou stretch forth thine hand, that healing, and signes, and wonders may be done by the Name of thine holy Sonne Iesus.

in that thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders take place through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.

31 And when as they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God boldely.

And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness.

32 And the multitude of them that beleeued, were of one heart, and of one soule: neither any of them said, that any thing of that which he possessed, was his owne, but they had all thinges common.

And the heart and soul of the multitude of those that had believed were one, and not one said that anything of what he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them;

33 And with great power gaue the Apostles witnes of the resurrection of the Lord Iesus: and great grace was vpon them all.

and with great power did the apostles give witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

34 Neither was there any among them, that lacked: for as many as were possessours of landes or houses, solde them, and brought the price of the things that were solde,

For neither was there any one in want among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling them, brought the price of what was sold

35 And layde it downe at the Apostles feete, and it was distributed vnto euery man, according as he had neede.

and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to each according as any one might have need.

36 Also Ioses which was called of the Apostles, Barnabas (that is by interpretation the sonne of consolation) being a Leuite, and of the countrey of Cyprus,

And Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the apostles (which is, being interpreted, Son of consolation), a Levite, Cyprian by birth,

37 Where as he had land, solde it, and brought the money, and laid it downe at the Apostles feete.

being possessed of land, having sold [it], brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
