Acts 4:3-18
3And they laidG1911 handsG5495 onG1911 them and 1putG5087 them in prisonG5084 untilG1519 the nextG839 dayG839, for it was alreadyG2235 eveningG2073. 4But manyG4183 of thoseG3588 who had heardG191 the 2messageG3056 believedG4100; and 3the numberG706 of the menG435 cameG1096 to be aboutG5613 fiveG4002 thousandG5505.
5On the nextG839 dayG839, their 4rulersG758 and eldersG4245 and scribesG1122 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in JerusalemG2419; 6and 5AnnasG452 the highG749 priestG749 was there, and 6CaiaphasG2533, 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, 78filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, saidG3004 to them, “910RulersG758 and eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992, 9ifG1487 we areG350 11onG350 trialG350 todayG4594 for 12a benefitG2108 doneG2108 to a sickG772 manG444, as to 13howG1722G5101 thisG3778 manG3778 has been madeG4982 wellG4982, 10let it be knownG1110 to allG3956 of you and to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, that 1415by the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the NazareneG3480, whomG3739 you crucifiedG4717, whomG3739 16GodG2316 raisedG1453 from the deadG3498--17by 18thisG3778 name thisG3778 manG3778 standsG3936 hereG3936 beforeG1799 you in goodG5199 healthG5199. 111920He is the 21stoneG3037 which was 22rejectedG1848 by you, the buildersG3620, but which becameG1096 the chiefG2776 cornerstoneG1137. 12And there is salvationG4991 in 23noG3756G3762 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 24confidenceG3954 of 25PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 and understoodG2638 that they were uneducatedG62 and untrainedG2399 menG444, they wereG2296 amazedG2296, and 26began to recognizeG1921 them 27as 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 2829CouncilG4892, they began to conferG4820 with oneG240 anotherG240, 16sayingG3004, “30WhatG5101 are we to doG4160 with theseG3778 menG444? For theG3754 factG3754 thatG3754 a 31noteworthyG1110 32miracleG4592 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 33in thisG3778 nameG3686.” 18And when they had summonedG2564 them, they 34commandedG3853 them not to speakG5350 orG3366 teachG1321 atG2527 allG2527 35in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424.
