Acts 4:8-20

8ThenG5119 PeterG4074, 12filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, saidG3004 to them, “34RulersG758 and eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992, 9ifG1487 we areG350 5onG350 trialG350 todayG4594 for 6a benefitG2108 doneG2108 to a sickG772 manG444, as to 7howG1722G5101 thisG3778 manG3778 has been madeG4982 wellG4982, 10let it be knownG1110 to allG3956 of you and to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, that 89by the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the NazareneG3480, whomG3739 you crucifiedG4717, whomG3739 10GodG2316 raisedG1453 from the deadG3498--11by 12thisG3778 name thisG3778 manG3778 standsG3936 hereG3936 beforeG1799 you in goodG5199 healthG5199. 111314He is the 15stoneG3037 which was 16rejectedG1848 by you, the buildersG3620, but which becameG1096 the chiefG2776 cornerstoneG1137. 12And there is salvationG4991 in 17noG3756G3762 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 18confidenceG3954 of 19PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 and understoodG2638 that they were uneducatedG62 and untrainedG2399 menG444, they wereG2296 amazedG2296, and 20began to recognizeG1921 them 21as 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 2223CouncilG4892, they began to conferG4820 with oneG240 anotherG240, 16sayingG3004, “24WhatG5101 are we to doG4160 with theseG3778 menG444? For theG3754 factG3754 thatG3754 a 25noteworthyG1110 26miracleG4592 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 27in thisG3778 nameG3686.” 18And when they had summonedG2564 them, they 28commandedG3853 them not to speakG5350 orG3366 teachG1321 atG2527 allG2527 29in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 19But 30PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “31WhetherG1487 it is rightG1342 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316 to listenG191 to you ratherG3123 thanG2228 to GodG2316, makeG2919 your own judgmentG2919; 20for 32we cannotG1410G3756 stopG3361 speakingG2980 about whatG3739 we have seenG3708 and heardG191.”
