1And as they were speakingG2980 to the peopleG2992, the priestsG2409 and captainG4755 of the temple and the SadduceesG4523 cameG2186 upon them, 2being distressed on accountG1223 of their teachingG1321 the peopleG2992 and preaching by JesusG2424 the resurrectionG386 from among [the] deadG3498; 3and they laidG5087 handsG5495 on them, and putG5087 them in ward till the morrow; for it wasG1510 alreadyG2235 eveningG2073. 4But manyG4183 of those who had heardG191 the wordG3056 believedG4100; and the numberG706 of the menG435 had becomeG1096 [about] fiveG4002 thousandG5505. 5And it cameG1096 to passG1096 on the morrow that their rulersG758 and eldersG4245 and scribesG1122 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 at JerusalemG2419, 6and AnnasG452 the highG749 priestG749, and CaiaphasG2533, and JohnG2491, and AlexanderG223, and as manyG3745 as wereG1510 of [the] highG749 priestly familyG1085; 7and having placed them in the midstG3319 they inquiredG4441, In what powerG1411 or in what nameG3686 have ye done this? 8Then PeterG4074, filledG4130 with [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151, saidG3004 to them, RulersG758 of the peopleG2992 and eldersG4245 [of Israel], 9if we this dayG4594 are called upon to answer as to the good deed [done] to the infirm manG444, how he has been healed, 10beG1510 it known to you all, and to all the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, that in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the Nazaraean, whom ye have crucifiedG4717, whom 1GodG2316 has raisedG1453 from among [the] deadG3498, by him this [manG3778] standsG3936 here before you soundG5199 [in body]. 11He isG1510 the stoneG3037 which has beenG1510 set at nought by you the builders, which isG1510 becomeG1096 the cornerG1137 stoneG3037. 12And salvationG4991 isG1510 in noneG3762 otherG243, for neither isG1510 there another nameG3686 under heavenG3772 which isG1510 givenG1325 among menG444 by which we must beG1510 savedG4982. 13But seeingG2334 the boldnessG3954 of PeterG4074 and JohnG2491, and perceiving that they wereG1510 unlettered and uninstructed menG444, they wonderedG2296; and they recognised them that they wereG1510 with JesusG2424. 14And beholding the manG444 who had been healedG2323 standingG2476 with them, they had nothing to reply; 15but having commandedG2753 them to goG565 out of the councilG4892 they conferred with oneG240 another, 16sayingG3004, What shall we do to these menG444? for that indeed an evidentG5318 signG4592 has comeG1096 to passG1096 through their means is manifest to all that inhabit JerusalemG2419, and we cannot denyG720 it. 17But that it be not further spread among the peopleG2992, let us threaten them severely no longerG3371 to speakG2980 to any manG444 in this nameG3686. 18And having calledG2564 them, they charged [them] not to speak at all nor teachG1321 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 19But PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 answeringG611 saidG3004 to them, If it beG1510 righteousG1342 before 2GodG2316 to listenG191 to you ratherG3123 than to 3GodG2316, judgeG2919 ye; 20for as for us we cannot refrain from speakingG2980 of the thingsG3739 which we have seenG3708 and heardG191. 21But they, having further threatened them, let them goG630, findingG2147 no way howG4459 they might punish them, on accountG1223 of the peopleG2992, because all glorifiedG1392 4GodG2316 for what had taken placeG1096; 22for the manG444 on whom this signG4592 of healingG2392 had taken placeG1096 wasG1510 above fortyG5062 yearsG2094 old. 23And having been let goG630, they cameG2064 to their ownG2398 [company], and reportedG518 all that the chiefG749 priestsG749 and eldersG4245 had saidG3004 to them. 24And they, having heardG191 [it], liftedG142 up [their] voiceG5456 with oneG3661 accordG3661 to 5GodG2316, and saidG3004, LordG1203, thou art the 6GodG2316 who madeG4160 the heavenG3772 and the earthG1093 and the seaG2281, and all that is in them; 25who hast saidG3004 by the mouthG4750 of thy servantG3816 DavidG1138, Why have [the] nationsG1484 raged haughtily and [the] peoplesG2992 meditated vainG2756 things? 26The kingsG935 of the earthG1093 were there, and the rulersG758 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 against the LordG2962 and against his ChristG5547. 27For in truthG225 against thy holyG40 servantG3816 JesusG2424, whom thou hadst anointedG5548, both HerodG2264 and PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, with [the] nationsG1484, and peoplesG2992 of IsraelG2474, have been gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in this cityG4172 28to do whatever thy handG5495 and thy counselG1012 had determined before should comeG1096 to passG1096. 29And nowG3568, LordG2962, look upon their threatenings, and giveG1325 to thy bondmen with all boldnessG3954 to speakG2980 thy wordG3056, 30in that thou stretchest out thy handG5495 to healG2392, and that signsG4592 and wondersG5059 take placeG1096 through the nameG3686 of thy holyG40 servantG3816 JesusG2424. 31And when they had prayedG1189, the placeG5117 in which they wereG1510 assembled shook, and they wereG1510 all filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, and spokeG2980 the wordG3056 of 7GodG2316 with boldnessG3954. 32And the heartG2588 and soulG5590 of the multitudeG4128 of those that had believedG4100 wereG1510 oneG1520, and not oneG1520 saidG3004 that anythingG5100 of what he possessed wasG1510 his ownG2398, but all thingsG3956 wereG1510 commonG2839 to them; 33and with greatG3173 powerG1411 did the apostlesG652 giveG591 witness of the resurrectionG386 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, and greatG3173 graceG5485 wasG1510 upon them all. 34For neither wasG1510 there any oneG5100 in want among them; for as manyG3745 as wereG1510 owners of landsG5564 or housesG3614, sellingG4453 them, broughtG5342 the priceG5092 of what wasG1510 soldG4453 35and laidG5087 it at the feetG4228 of the apostlesG652; and distribution was made to each according as any oneG5100 might have needG5532. 36And JosephG2501, who had beenG1510 surnamed BarnabasG921 by the apostlesG652 (which isG1510, beingG1510 interpreted, SonG5207 of consolation), a LeviteG3019, Cyprian by birth, 37being possessed of landG68, having soldG4453 [it], broughtG5342 the moneyG5536 and laidG5087 it at the feetG4228 of the apostlesG652.
