Acts 4

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

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

2 being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

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

3 And they laid hands upon them, and put them in prison until the next day; for it was now evening.

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

4 Many however of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became five thousand.

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

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

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

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.

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

7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, did ye do this?

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

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

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

9 If we are this day examined in respect to a good deed done to a cripple, by what means he hath been restored,

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,

10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, —by him doth this man stand here before you sound.

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.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone.

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

12 And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been given among men, by which we must be saved.

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

13 And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus.

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:

14 And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.

And beholding also the man which was 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,

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

16 saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

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.

17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly forbid them with threats to speak any longer in this name to any one.

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.

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

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

19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.

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.

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

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

21 So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.

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.

22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.

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

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

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.

24 And on hearing it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art he that made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are in them;

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,

25 who by the mouth of thy servant David said, “Why did the heathen rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?

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

26 The kings of the earth came up, and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed.”

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

27 For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, did both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, assemble in this city,

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,

28 to do whatever thy hand and thy will before determined to be done.

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

29 And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

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

30 while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are wrought through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.

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

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

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.

32 And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart, and of one soul; and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

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.

33 And with great power did the apostles give their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.

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

34 For there was no one among them that was in want; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

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,

35 and laid them at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.

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

36 And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, when interpreted, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, born in Cyprus,

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,

37 having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

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