Acts 4:13-22

13NowG1161 as they observedG2334 the 1confidenceG3954 of 2PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 and understoodG2638 that they were uneducatedG62 and untrainedG2399 menG444, they wereG2296 amazedG2296, and 3began to recognizeG1921 them 4as having beenG1510 with JesusG2424. 14And seeingG991 the manG444 who had been healedG2323 standingG2476 with them, they hadG2192 nothingG3762 to sayG471 inG471 replyG471. 15But when they had orderedG2753 them to leaveG565 the 56CouncilG4892, they began to conferG4820 with oneG240 anotherG240, 16sayingG3004, “7WhatG5101 are we to doG4160 with theseG3778 menG444? For theG3754 factG3754 thatG3754 a 8noteworthyG1110 9miracleG4592 has takenG1096 placeG1096 throughG1223 them is apparentG5318 to allG3956 who liveG2730 in JerusalemG2419, and we cannotG1410G3756 denyG720 it. 17But soG2443 thatG2443 it will not spreadG1268 anyG1909 furtherG1909G4183 amongG1519 the peopleG2992, let’s warnG546 them not to speakG2980 anyG3371 longerG3371 to anyG3367 personG444 10in thisG3778 nameG3686.” 18And when they had summonedG2564 them, they 11commandedG3853 them not to speakG5350 orG3366 teachG1321 atG2527 allG2527 12in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 19But 13PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “14WhetherG1487 it is rightG1342 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316 to listenG191 to you ratherG3123 thanG2228 to GodG2316, makeG2919 your own judgmentG2919; 20for 15we cannotG1410G3756 stopG3361 speakingG2980 about whatG3739 we have seenG3708 and heardG191.” 21When they had threatenedG4324 them furtherG4324, they letG630 them goG630 (findingG2147 noG3367 basisG3367 on which to punishG2849 them) 16on accountG1223 of the peopleG2992, becauseG3754 they were allG3956 17glorifyingG1392 GodG2316 for what had happenedG1096; 22for the manG444 on whomG3739 thisG3778 18miracleG4592 of healingG2392 had been performedG1096 was moreG4183 than fortyG5065 yearsG2094 old.
