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

2 being vexed that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 And they laid hands on them, and put them into custody till the next day: for it was now evening.

4 But many of them who heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand.

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

5 And on the morrow their rulers, and elders, and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem:

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

6 and with them Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.

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.

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

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

8 Then Peter filled with the holy Spirit said unto them, Ye rulers of the people,

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

9 and elders of Israel, if we are this day examined about the benefit done to the impotent man,

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

10 by what means he is cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, but whom God hath raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole.

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.

11 This is the stone that was set at nought by you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

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

12 And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we can be saved.

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

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were plain and illiterate men, they were amazed; and they knew them again that they had been with Jesus:

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.

14 but seeing the man that was cured standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

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

15 Therefore they ordered them to withdraw from the council,

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

16 and conferred among themselves, saying, What shall we do with these men? for that indeed an evident miracle hath been wrought by them is manifest to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

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.

17 But that it may spread no farther among the people, let us severely charge them to speak no more to any man in this name.

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

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

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

19 But Peter and John answered them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge ye:

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.

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

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

21 So they threatened them more severely, and let them go; not finding how to punish them, because of the people: for they all glorified God for that which was done.

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.

22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miraculous cure was wrought.

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

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

24 And when they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, Thou art God, who hast made heaven and earth, and sea, and all things therein:

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:

27 For of a truth both Herod and Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and the people of Israel, combined against thy holy child Jesus,

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,

28 (whom Thou hast anointed, ) to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had before determined to be done.

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

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings; and give unto thy servants to speak thy word with all freedom, while Thou art stretching forth thy hand to heal,

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

30 and while signs and wonders are done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

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

31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with freedom.

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.

32 And the heart and soul of the multitude that believed was one: no one called any of his possessions his own property, but they had all things common.

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

34 Neither was there any indigent person among them; for as many as were proprietors of lands or houses, sold them and brought the prices of what were sold,

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,

35 and laid them at the apostles feet; and distribution was made to every one according to their necessity.

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

36 So Joses who was by the apostles sirnamed Barnabas, which is a son of consolation,

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,

37 a Levite, by birth a Cyprian, having an estate, sold it and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

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