Acts 4

1And as they spake unto the peopleG2992, the priestsG2409 and the captainG4755 of the temple and the SadduceesG4523 cameG2186 upon them, 2being sore troubled because they taughtG1321 the peopleG2992, and proclaimedG2605 in JesusG2424 the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498. 3And they laidG5087 handsG5495 on them, and putG5087 them in ward unto the morrow: for it wasG1510 now eventide. 4But manyG4183 of them that heardG191 the wordG3056 believedG4100; and the numberG706 of the menG435 cameG1096 to be about fiveG4002 thousandG5505.

5And it cameG1096 to passG1096 on the morrow, that their rulersG758 and eldersG4245 and scribesG1122 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in JerusalemG2419; 6and AnnasG452 the highG749 priestG749 wasG1510 there, and CaiaphasG2533, and JohnG2491, and AlexanderG223, and as manyG3745 as wereG1510 of the kindred of the highG749 priestG749. 7And when they had setG2476 them in the midstG3319, they inquiredG4441, By what powerG1411, or in what nameG3686, have ye done this? 8Then PeterG4074, filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, saidG3004 unto them, Ye rulersG758 of the peopleG2992, and eldersG4245, 9if we this dayG4594 are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent manG444, by what means this manG444 is made whole; 10beG1510 it known unto you all, and to all the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, that in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 of NazarethG3480, whom ye crucifiedG4717, whom GodG2316 raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, evenG2532 in him doth this manG3778 standG3936 here before you whole. 11He isG1510 the stoneG3037 which wasG1510 set at nought of you the builders, which wasG1510 made the headG2776 of the cornerG1137. 12And in noneG3762 otherG243 isG1510 there salvationG4991: for neither isG1510 there any otherG243 nameG3686 under heavenG3772, that isG1510 givenG1325 among menG444, wherein we must beG1510 savedG4982.

13NowG1161 when they beheld the boldnessG3954 of PeterG4074 and JohnG2491, and had perceived that they wereG1510 unlearned and ignorant menG444, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had beenG1510 with JesusG2424. 14And seeingG991 the manG444 that was healedG2323 standingG2476 with them, they could say nothing against it. 15But when they had commandedG2753 them to goG565 aside out of the councilG4892, they conferred among themselves, 16sayingG3004, What shall we do to these menG444? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwellG2730 in JerusalemG2419; and we cannot denyG720 it. 17But that it spread no further among the peopleG2992, let us threaten them, that they speakG2980 henceforth to no manG444 in this nameG3686. 18And they calledG2564 them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teachG1321 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 19But PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, Whether it isG1510 rightG1342 in the sight of GodG2316 to hearken unto you ratherG3123 than unto GodG2316, judgeG2919 ye: 20for we cannot but speakG2980 the thingsG3739 which we sawG3708 and heardG191. 21And they, when they had further threatened them, let them goG630, findingG2147 nothingG3367 howG4459 they might punish them, because of the peopleG2992; for all men glorifiedG1392 GodG2316 for that which was done. 22For the manG444 wasG1510 moreG4183 than fortyG5062 yearsG2094 old, on whom this miracle of healingG2392 wasG1510 wrought.

23And being let goG630, they cameG2064 to their ownG2398 company, and reportedG518 all that the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 had saidG3004 unto them. 24And they, when they heardG191 it, liftedG142 up their voiceG5456 to GodG2316 with oneG3661 accordG3661, and saidG3004, O LordG1203, thou that didst makeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281, and all that in them is: 25who by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, by the mouthG4750 of our fatherG3962 DavidG1138 thy servantG3816, didst sayG3004,

27for of a truthG225 in this cityG4172 against thy holyG40 ServantG3816 JesusG2424, whom thou didst anoint, both HerodG2264 and PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, with the GentilesG1484 and the peoplesG2992 of IsraelG2474, were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863, 28to do whatsoever thy handG5495 and thy council foreordained to comeG1096 to passG1096. 29And nowG3568, LordG2962, look upon their threatenings: and grantG1325 unto thy servantsG1401 to speakG2980 thy wordG3056 with all boldnessG3954, 30while thou stretchest forth thy handG5495 to healG2392; and that signsG4592 and wondersG5059 may be done through the nameG3686 of thy holyG40 ServantG3816 JesusG2424. 31And when they had prayedG1189, the placeG5117 wasG1510 shakenG4531 wherein they wereG1510 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863; and they wereG1510 all filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, and they spake the wordG3056 of GodG2316 with boldnessG3954.

32And the multitudeG4128 of them that believedG4100 wereG1510 of oneG1520 heartG2588 and soulG5590: and not oneG1520of themsaidG3004 that aught of the thingsG3956 which he possessed wasG1510 his ownG2398; but they had all thingsG3956 commonG2839. 33And with greatG3173 powerG1411 gaveG591 the apostlesG652 their witness of the resurrectionG386 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424: and greatG3173 graceG5485 wasG1510 upon them all. 34For neither wasG1510 there among them any that lacked: for as manyG3745 as wereG1510 possessors of landsG5564 or housesG3614 soldG4453 them, and broughtG5342 the prices of the things that wereG1510 soldG4453, 35and laidG5087 them at the apostles’G652 feetG4228: and distribution was made unto each, according as any oneG5100 had needG5532.

36And JosephG2501, who by the apostlesG652 wasG1510 surnamed BarnabasG921 (which isG1510, beingG1510 interpreted, SonG5207 of exhortationG3874), a LeviteG3019, a man of Cyprus by raceG1085, 37having a fieldG68, soldG4453 it, and broughtG5342 the moneyG5536 and laidG5087 it at the apostles’G652 feetG4228.
