< Acts 4 >

1 While they were addressing the people the priests, the commander of the Temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ.

3 They arrested them, and put them in prison till the next day, for it was already evening.

4 But many of those who had heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

5 There was held in Jerusalem, next morning, a meeting of their rulers, the elders and scribes,

6 and Annas, the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all the members of the high priests family were present.
ⲋ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲥ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲓ̈ⲫⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲁⲗⲉⲝⲁⲛⲇⲣⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ.
7 Then they made the men stand before them and demanded, "By what power, or in what name, have you fellows done this?"
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ. ⲏ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ⲣⲁⲛ.
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered them.

9 "Rulers and elders of the people, if we are being examined today concerning a benefit conferred upon a cripple, as to how has this man been cured,

10 "be it known to all of you, 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, in him does this man stand before you strong and well.

11 "For he is the Stone, cast aside by you builders, which has become the head stone of the corner.

12 "There is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, in which we must be saved."
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲣⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
13 Now when they beheld the glad fearlessness of Peter and John and had perceived that they were amazed; and they began to recognize them, that they were companions of Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ. ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲇⲓⲱⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
14 But since they saw the man standing with them who had been healed, they had nothing to answer.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗϭⲟϥ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϭⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϫⲱ.
15 So they bade them withdraw from the Sanhedrin, while they conferred together.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲩⲛϩⲉⲇⲣⲓⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
16 "What," said they, "shall we do with these men? For it is well known throughout Jerusalem that a notable miracle has been performed by them, and we cannot deny it.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ϩⲟⲧⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ. ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲁⲣⲛⲁ.
17 "But that the matter may spread no further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak to any one hereafter about this name."
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ. ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲁⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
18 So they summoned them, and ordered them not to speak at all, nor to teach in the name of Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϣⲁϫⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϯⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅·
19 But Peter and John said in reply. "Do you decide whether in the sight of God it is right to obey you rather than God;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
20 but for our part, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

21 So when they had further threatened them they let the apostles go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them because of the people, for everybody was glorifying God over what had happened.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲁⲡⲓⲗⲏ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϭⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲗⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ.
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing had been wrought was over forty years old.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲧⲁⲗϭⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱϥ.
23 As soon as the apostles were released, they went to their friends, and told what the high priests and elders had said.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ.
24 And when they heard it they all lifted up their voices in prayer to God, saying. "O Sovereign Lord, who madest heaven and earth and sea, and all that in them is,

31 When they had prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak the message of the Lord with boldness.

32 Now the multitude of the believers was of one heart and one soul, nor did any one of them say that any of his possessions was his own; but they had all things common.

33 And the apostles continued with great power to give their witness concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

34 Nor was there any one of them in want, for all who owned houses or lands would sell them and bring the price of the things that were sold, and lay it at the apostles’ feet;
