Acts 4

1 When are speaking now they to the people came upon them the (priests *NK(O)*) and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees,

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

2 being distressed because of teaching of theirs to the people and [their] proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection (that *NK(o)*) out from [the] dead;

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

3 and they laid on them the hands and put [them] in custody until the next day; it was for evening already.

They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

4 Many however of those having heard the word believed; and became the number of the men (about *N(k)O*) thousand five.

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

5 It came to pass then on the next day assembling their rulers and (*no*) elders and (*no*) scribes

In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

6 (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem and (Annas the high priest *N(k)O*) and (Caiaphas *N(k)O*) and (John *N(k)O*) and (Alexander *N(k)O*) and as many as were of descent high-priestly,

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

7 And having placed them in the midst they were inquiring; In what power or in what name did this you yourselves?

When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they enquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

8 Then Peter having been filled with [the] Spirit Holy said to them; Rulers of the people and elders (of Israel *K*)

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,

9 if we ourselves this day are being examined as to a good work [to the] man ailing, by what [means] he has been healed,

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

10 known it should be to all you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth whom you yourselves crucified, whom God raised out from [the] dead, in Him this [man] has stood before you sound.

may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.

11 This is the stone which having been rejected by you the (builders, *N(k)O*) which has become into head of [the] corner.’

He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

12 And not there is in other no [one] the salvation; (not *N(k)O*) for name is there another under heaven which given among men by which it behooves to be saved us.

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given amongst men, by which we must be saved!”

13 Seeing now the of Peter boldness and of John and having grasped that men unschooled they are and ordinary, they were astonished, They were recognizing then them that with Jesus they were being,

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled. They recognised that they had been with Jesus.

14 (And *N(k)O*) the man beholding with them already standing who healed, no [thing] they had to contradict.

Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

15 Having commanded however them outside the Council to go, (they were confering *N(k)O*) with one another

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

16 saying; What (shall we do *N(k)O*) to the men these? for truly for a noteworthy sign has come to pass through them to all those inhabiting Jerusalem [is] evident, and not we are able (to deny [it]; *N(k)O*)

saying, “What shall we do to 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 can’t deny it.

17 But that not on further it may spread among the people, (threats *K*) (let us warn *NK(o)*) them no longer to speak in name this to no man.

But so that this spreads no further amongst the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

18 And having called them they commanded (them *k*) at not to speak nor to teach in the name of Jesus.

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

19 But Peter and John answering said to them; Whether right it is before God to you to listen rather than God, you should judge.

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,

20 not we are able for we ourselves what we have seen and we heard not to speak.

for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

21 And having further threatened [them] they let go them nothing finding the how (they may punish *NK(o)*) them, on account of the people, because all were glorifying God for that having happened.

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.

22 of years for he was more than forty-the man on whom had taken place sign this of healing.

For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

23 Having been let go now they came to [their] own and reported as much as to them the chief priests and the elders had said.

Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

24 And having heard with one accord they lifted up [their] voice to God and said; Sovereign Lord, You yourself (God *K*) who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that [is] in them,

When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

25 who (of the father of us *NO*) through ([the] Spirit Holy *NO*) through [the] mouth of David (the *k*) servant of You having spoken: so why so why did rage [the] Gentiles and peoples did devise vain things?

who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

26 Took [their] stand the kings of the earth and the rulers were gathered together themselves against the Lord and against the Christ of Him.’

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’

27 Were gathered together for in truth (in the city this *NO*) against the holy servant of You Jesus whom You anointed, Herod both and Pontius Pilate with [the] Gentiles and peoples of Israel

“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,

28 to do as much as the hand of You and the purpose of You determined beforehand to happen.

to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.

29 And now, Lord, do look upon the threats of them and do grant to the servants of You with boldness all to speak the word of You

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

30 in that the hand of You stretching out You for healing and signs and wonders to take place through the name of the holy servant of You Jesus.

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

31 And when were praying they was shaken the place in which they were assembled, and they were filled all (with the *no*) Holy Spirit and were speaking the word of God with boldness.

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.

32 And the multitude who having believed were [in] (*k*) heart and (*k*) soul one; and not one anything of the possessions (to him *N(k)O*) was claiming [his] own to be, but were to them (all things *NK(o)*) in common.

The multitude 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.

33 And [with] power great were giving testimony the apostles of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus grace then abundant was upon all them.

With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

34 Not even for in need anyone (there was *N(k)O*) among them; as many as for [were] owners of lands or houses were selling [them] they were bringing the proceeds of what is sold

For neither was there amongst 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,

35 and were laying [them] at the feet of the apostles, distribution was made then to each just as would anyone need had.

and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
