Acts 4

1 And as they spoke unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

And they speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees rose up against them,

2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

being grieved because they were teaching the people and preaching the resurrection of the dead through Jesus;

3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now evening.

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

4 Nevertheless many of them which heard the word (logos) believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

And many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of men was about five thousand.

5 And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

And it came to pass on the morrow, the rulers and elders and scribes

6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

assembled in Jerusalem, and Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and so many as were of the family of the high priest.

7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have all of you done this?

And having set them in the midst, asked them, By what power or in what name have you done this?

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) said unto them, All of you rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

Then Peter being full of the Holy Spirit said to them, Ye rulers of the people and elders,

9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

if we are this day judged for the benefaction of the impotent man, by whom he has been saved,

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom all of you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him does this man stand here before you whole.

let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, through him this man now stands sound in your presence.

11 This is the stone which was set at nothing of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

This is the stone rejected by your builders, which has become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name given under heaven among men by which it behooveth us to he saved.

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and apprehending that they are unlearned and ignorant men, they continued to be astonished, and recognized them, that they were with Jesus;

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

and seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

And having commanded them to depart out from the assembly, they conferred with one another,

16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle has been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

saying, What can we do to these men? for that a notable miracle has been wrought by them is indeed manifest to all dwelling at Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it;

17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

but that it may extend no further unto the people, let us threaten them to speak no more in this name to any one of men.

18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

And having called them, they command them, not at all to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge all of you.

And Peter and John responding said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than God, judge ye;

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

for we are not able not to speak those things which we have seen and heard.

21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

And they having threatened them, in addition sent them away, finding nothing to the end that they can punish them, on account of the people, because all continued to glorify God over that which had taken place;

22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed.

for the man on whom this miracle of healing was wrought was more than forty years old.

23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

And having been released they came to their own people, and proclaimed so many things as the chief priests and elders said to them.

24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, you are God, which have made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

And having heard, they unanimously lifted up their voice to God, and said, O Lord, thou having created the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things which are in them,

25 Who by the mouth of your servant David have said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

the One speaking through the mouth of David, thy child, our father through the Holy Ghost, Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

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

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

27 For truthfully against your holy child Jesus, whom you have anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

For in truth they were assembled together in this city, against thy holy Child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint; both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,

28 In order to do whatsoever your hand and your counsel determined before to be done.

to do so many things as thy hand and thy counsel did foreordain to come to pass.

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto your servants, that with all boldness they may speak your word, (logos)

And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to thy servants with all boldness to speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of your holy child Jesus.

while, reaching forth thy hand unto healings, both miracles and wonders are wrought through the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and they spoke the word (logos) of God with boldness.

And they praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

And of the multitude who believed there was one heart and soul, and no one was saying that any of those things which belonged to him were his own, but all things were common to them.

33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

And with great power the apostles continued to give witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ the Lord; and great grace was upon them all.

34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

For no one among them was in need; for so many possessions of lands or houses as belonged to them, selling, they were bringing the prices of the things having been sold,

35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

and laying them at the feet of the apostles; and it was distributed to each as any one had need.

36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation, ) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

And Joseph called Barnabas by the apostles, which is interpreted, Son of consolation, a Levite, a Cyprian by race,

37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

a farm belonging to him, having sold it, he brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
