Acts 4:2-23
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.
