Acts 4:13-22

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.
