Acts 4

1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

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

2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

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

3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until 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 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

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

5 It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

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

6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

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 When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have 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, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,

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

9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

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

10 be it known to you all, and to all the children of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in 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 one is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.

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

12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which 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 had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized 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 Seeing the man who 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 should we do with these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who 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 so this does not spread any further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone 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 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 them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

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 help telling the things which we saw and heard."

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

21 When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone 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 on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

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

23 Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to 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 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "Lord, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them.

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 You said through the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant: 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?

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 take a stand, and the rulers take council 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 truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews 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 to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.

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

29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

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

30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."

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

31 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word 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 full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in 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 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on 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 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds 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 put them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

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

36 Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus by birth,

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

37 having a field, sold it, and brought the money and put 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.
