Acts 4:1-13
1As they were speakingG2980 to the peopleG2992, the priestsG2409 and 1the captainG4755 of the templeG2413 guard and 2the SadduceesG4523 3cameG2186 upG2186 to them, 2being greatlyG1278 disturbedG1278 becauseG1223 they were teachingG1321 the peopleG2992 and proclaimingG2605 45in JesusG2424 the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498. 3And they laidG1911 handsG5495 onG1911 them and 6putG5087 them in prisonG5084 untilG1519 the nextG839 dayG839, for it was alreadyG2235 eveningG2073. 4But manyG4183 of thoseG3588 who had heardG191 the 7messageG3056 believedG4100; and 8the numberG706 of the menG435 cameG1096 to be aboutG5613 fiveG4002 thousandG5505.
5On the nextG839 dayG839, their 9rulersG758 and eldersG4245 and scribesG1122 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in JerusalemG2419; 6and 10AnnasG452 the highG749 priestG749 was there, and 11CaiaphasG2533, JohnG2491, and AlexanderG223, and allG3745 whoG3745 were of high-priestlyG748 descentG1085. 7When they had placedG2476 them in the centerG3319, they began to inquireG4441, “By whatG4169 powerG1411, orG2228 in whatG4169 nameG3686, have you doneG4160 thisG3778?” 8ThenG5119 PeterG4074, 1213filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, saidG3004 to them, “1415RulersG758 and eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992, 9ifG1487 we areG350 16onG350 trialG350 todayG4594 for 17a benefitG2108 doneG2108 to a sickG772 manG444, as to 18howG1722G5101 thisG3778 manG3778 has been madeG4982 wellG4982, 10let it be knownG1110 to allG3956 of you and to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, that 1920by the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the NazareneG3480, whomG3739 you crucifiedG4717, whomG3739 21GodG2316 raisedG1453 from the deadG3498--22by 23thisG3778 name thisG3778 manG3778 standsG3936 hereG3936 beforeG1799 you in goodG5199 healthG5199. 112425He is the 26stoneG3037 which was 27rejectedG1848 by you, the buildersG3620, but which becameG1096 the chiefG2776 cornerstoneG1137. 12And there is salvationG4991 in 28noG3756G3762 oneG3762 elseG243; for there is noG3761 otherG2087 nameG3686 underG5259 heavenG3772 that has been givenG1325 amongG1722 mankindG444 by whichG3739 we mustG1163 be savedG4982.”
13NowG1161 as they observedG2334 the 29confidenceG3954 of 30PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 and understoodG2638 that they were uneducatedG62 and untrainedG2399 menG444, they wereG2296 amazedG2296, and 31began to recognizeG1921 them 32as having beenG1510 with JesusG2424.
