Acts 4
1AndG1161 asG2980 theyG846 spakeG2980 untoG4314 the peopleG3588G2992, the priestsG3588G2409, andG2532 the captainG3588G4755 of the templeG3588G2411, andG2532 the SadduceesG3588G4523, came uponG2186 themG846, 2Being grievedG1278 thatG1223 theyG846 taughtG1321 the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 preachedG2605 throughG1722 JesusG3588G2424 the resurrectionG3588G386 fromG1537 the deadG3498. 3AndG2532 they laidG1911 handsG3588G5495 on themG846, andG2532 putG5087 them inG1519 holdG5084 untoG1519 the next dayG839: forG1063 it wasG1510 nowG2235 eventideG2073. 4HowbeitG1161 manyG4183 of them which heardG191 the wordG3588G3056 believedG4100; andG2532 the numberG3588G706 of the menG3588G435 wasG1096 aboutG5616 fiveG4002 thousandG5505. 5
AndG1161 it came to passG1096 onG1909 the morrowG839, thatG4863 theirG846 rulersG3588G758, andG2532 eldersG4245, andG2532 scribesG1122, 6AndG2532 AnnasG452 the high priestG3588G749, andG2532 CaiaphasG2533, andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 AlexanderG223, andG2532 as many asG3745 wereG1510 ofG1537 the kindredG1085 of the high priestG748, were gathered together atG1519 JerusalemG2419. 7AndG2532 whenG2476 theyG846 had setG2476 them inG1722 the midstG3319, they askedG4441, ByG1722 whatG4169 powerG1411, orG2228 byG1722 whatG4169 nameG3686, haveG4160 yeG4771 doneG4160 thisG3778? 8ThenG5119 PeterG4074, filledG4130 with theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151, saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, Ye rulersG758 of the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 eldersG4245 of IsraelG2474, 9IfG1487 weG1473 this dayG4594 be examinedG350 ofG1909 the good deed doneG2108 toG444 the impotentG772 manG444, byG1722 what meansG5101 heG3778 is made wholeG4982; 10Be itG1510 knownG1110 unto youG4771 allG3956, andG2532 to allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992 of IsraelG2474, thatG3754 byG1722 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 of NazarethG3588G3480, whomG3739 yeG4771 crucifiedG4717, whomG3739 GodG3588G2316 raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even byG1722 him dothG3936 thisG3778 manG3778 stand hereG3936 beforeG1799 youG4771 wholeG5199. 11ThisG3778 isG1510 the stoneG3588G3037 whichG3588 was set at noughtG1848 ofG5259 youG4771 buildersG3618, whichG3588 is becomeG1096 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137. 12NeitherG2532G3756 is thereG1510 salvationG3588G4991 inG1722 anyG3762 otherG243: forG1063 there isG1510 noneG3777 otherG2087 nameG3686 underG5259 heavenG3588G3772 givenG3588G1325 amongG1722 menG444, wherebyG1722G3739 weG1473 mustG1163 be savedG4982. 13
NowG1161 when they sawG2334 the boldnessG3954 of PeterG3588G4074 andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 perceivedG2638 thatG3754 they wereG1510 unlearnedG62 andG2532 ignorantG2399 menG444, they marvelledG2296; andG5037 they took knowledgeG1921 of themG846, thatG3754 they had beenG1510 withG4862 JesusG3588G2424. 14AndG1161 beholdingG991 the manG444 whichG3588 was healedG2323 standingG2476 withG4862 themG846, they couldG2192 sayG483 nothingG3762 against itG483. 15ButG1161 when they had commandedG2753 themG846 to go asideG565 out ofG1854 the councilG3588G4892, they conferredG4820 amongG4314 themselvesG240, 16SayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 toG3588G444 theseG3778 menG3588G444? forG1063 thatG3754 indeedG3303 a notableG1110 miracleG4592 hath been doneG1096 byG1223 themG846 is manifestG5318 to allG3956 themG2730 thatG3588 dwellG2730 in JerusalemG2419; andG2532 we cannotG3756G1410 denyG720 it. 17ButG235 thatG2443 it spreadG1268 noG3361 furtherG4119 amongG1519 the peopleG3588G2992, let usG546 straitlyG547 threatenG546 themG846, that they speakG2980 henceforthG3371 to noG3367 manG444 inG1909 thisG3778 nameG3588G3686. 18AndG2532 they calledG2564 themG846, andG2532 commandedG3853 themG846 notG3361 to speakG5350 at allG2527 norG3366 teachG1321 inG1909 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG3588G2424. 19ButG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, WhetherG1487 it beG1510 rightG1342 in the sight ofG1799 GodG3588G2316 to hearkenG191 unto youG4771 moreG3123 thanG2228 unto GodG3588G2316, judge yeG2919. 20ForG1063 weG1473 cannotG3756G1410 butG3361 speakG2980 the things whichG3739 we have seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191. 21SoG1161 when they had further threatenedG4324 themG846, they let them goG630, findingG2147 nothingG3367 howG4459 they might punishG2849 themG846, because ofG3754 the peopleG3588G2992: forG1223 allG3956 men glorifiedG1392 GodG3588G2316 forG1909 thatG3588 which was doneG1096. 22ForG1063 the manG3588G444 wasG1510 aboveG4119 fortyG5062 years oldG2094, onG1909 whomG3739 thisG3778 miracleG3588G4592 of healingG3588G2392 was shewedG1096. 23
AndG1161 being let goG630, they wentG2064 toG4314 their own companyG2398, andG2532 reportedG518 all thatG3745 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 eldersG4245 had saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846. 24AndG1161 when they heardG191 thatG3588, they lifted upG142 their voiceG5456 toG4314 GodG3588G2316 with one accordG3661, andG2532 saidG3004, LordG1203, thouG4771 art GodG3588G2316, whichG3588 hast madeG4160 heavenG3588G3772, andG2532 earthG3588G1093, andG2532 the seaG3588G2281, andG2532 allG3956 thatG3588 inG1722 themG846 isG1722: 25WhoG3004 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of thyG4771 servantG3588G3816 DavidG1138 hast saidG3004, WhyG5101 didG5433 the heathenG1484 rageG5433, andG2532 the peopleG2992 imagineG3191 vain thingsG2756? 26The kingsG3588G935 of the earthG3588G1093 stood upG3936, andG2532 the rulersG3588G758 were gatheredG4863 togetherG1909 againstG2596 the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 againstG2596 hisG846 ChristG3588G5547. 27ForG1063 of a truthG225 againstG1909 thyG4771 holyG40 childG3816 JesusG2424, whomG3739 thou hast anointedG5548, bothG5037 HerodG2264, andG2532 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, withG4862 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, were gatheredG4863 togetherG1909, 28For to doG4160 whatsoeverG3745 thyG4771 handG3588G5495 andG2532 thyG4771 counselG3588G1012 determined beforeG4309 to be doneG1096. 29AndG2532 nowG3568, LordG2962, beholdG1896 theirG846 threateningsG3588G547: andG2532 grantG1325 untoG3588G1401 thyG4771 servantsG3588G1401, that withG3326 allG3956 boldnessG3954 they may speakG2980 thyG4771 wordG3588G3056, 30ByG1722 stretching forthG1614 thineG4771 handG3588G5495 toG1519 healG2392; andG2532 thatG1519 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 may be doneG1096 byG1223 the nameG3588G3686 ofG3816 thyG4771 holyG40 childG3816 JesusG2424.
31AndG2532 whenG1189 theyG846 had prayedG1189, the placeG3588G5117 was shakenG4531 whereG3739 they wereG1510 assembled togetherG4863; andG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 they spakeG2980 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 withG3326 boldnessG3954. 32AndG1161 the multitudeG3588G4128 of them that believedG3588G4100 wereG1510 ofG3588G2588 oneG1520 heartG3588G2588 andG2532 ofG3588G5590 oneG1520 soulG3588G5590: neitherG2532G3761 saidG3004 anyG1520G5100 of them that ought of the things which he possessedG3588G5225 wasG1510 hisG846 ownG2398; butG235 theyG846 hadG1510 all thingsG537 commonG2839. 33AndG2532 withG1411 greatG3173 powerG1411 gaveG591 the apostlesG3588G652 witnessG3588G3142 of the resurrectionG3588G386 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424: andG5037 greatG3173 graceG5485 wasG1510 uponG1909 themG846 allG3956. 34NeitherG3761 was thereG5225 anyG5100 amongG1722 themG846 thatG5225 lackedG1729: forG1063 as many asG3745 wereG5225 possessorsG2935 of landsG5564 orG2228 housesG3614 sold themG4453, and broughtG5342 the pricesG3588G5092 of the things that were soldG3588G4097, 35AndG2532 laidG5087 them downG5087 atG3844 the apostles’G3588G652 feetG3588G4228: andG1161 distribution was madeG1239 unto every manG1538 according asG2530 heG5100 hadG2192 needG5532. 36AndG1161 JosesG2500, whoG3588 byG5259 the apostlesG3588G652 was surnamedG1941 BarnabasG921, (whichG3739 isG1510, being interpretedG3177, The sonG5207 of consolationG3874,) a LeviteG3019, and of the country ofG3588G1085 CyprusG2953, 37HavingG5225 landG68, soldG4453 it, andG2532 broughtG5342 the moneyG3588G5536, andG2532 laidG5087 it atG3844 the apostles’G3588G652 feetG3588G4228.
