Acts 4:2-23

2Being grievedG1278 thatG1223 theyG846 taughtG1321 the peopleG2992, andG2532 preachedG2605 throughG1722 JesusG2424 the resurrectionG386 fromG1537 the deadG3498. 3AndG2532 they laidG1911 handsG5495 on themG846, andG2532 putG5087 them inG1519 custodyG5084 toG1519 the next dayG839: forG1063 it wasG2258 nowG2235 eveningG2073. 4ButG1161 manyG4183 of them who heardG191 the wordG3056 believedG4100; andG2532 the numberG706 of the menG435 wasG1096 aboutG5616 fiveG4002 thousandG5505.

5AndG1161 it came to passG1096 onG1909 the next dayG839, that theirG846 rulersG758, andG2532 eldersG4245, andG2532 scribesG1122, 6AndG2532 AnnasG452 the high priestG749, andG2532 CaiaphasG2533, andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 AlexanderG223, andG2532 as many asG3745 wereG2258 ofG1537 the kindredG1085 of the high priestG748, were gathered togetherG4863 atG1519 JerusalemG2419. 7AndG2532 when they had setG2476 themG846 inG1722 the midstG3319, they askedG4441, ByG1722 whatG4169 powerG1411, orG2228 byG1722 whatG4169 nameG3686, haveG4160 yeG5210 doneG4160 thisG5124? 8ThenG5119 PeterG4074, filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, Ye rulersG758 of the peopleG2992, andG2532 eldersG4245 of IsraelG2474, 9IfG1487 weG2249 this dayG4594 are examinedG350 concerningG1909 the good deed doneG2108 to the impotentG772 manG444, byG1722 what meansG5101 heG3778 is made wellG4982; 10Be itG2077 knownG1110 to youG5213 allG3956, andG2532 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, thatG3754 byG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 of NazarethG3480, whomG3739 yeG5210 crucifiedG4717, whomG3739 GodG2316 raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even byG1722 himG5129 dothG3936 this manG3778 stand hereG3936 beforeG1799 youG5216 in good healthG5199. 11ThisG3778 isG2076 the stoneG3037 whichG3588 was rejectedG1848 byG5259 youG5216 buildersG3618, whichG3588 is becomeG1096 the headG2776 ofG1519 the cornerG1137. 12NeitherG2532G3756 is thereG2076 salvationG4991 inG1722 anyG3762 otherG243: forG1063 there isG2076 noG3777 otherG2087 nameG3686 underG5259 heavenG3772 givenG1325 amongG1722 menG444, byG1722 whichG3739 weG2248 mustG1163 be savedG4982. 13NowG1161 when they sawG2334 the boldnessG3954 of PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 perceivedG2638 thatG3754 they wereG1526 unlearnedG62 andG2532 ignorantG2399 menG444, they marvelledG2296; andG5037 they took knowledgeG1921 of themG846, thatG3754 they had beenG2258 withG4862 JesusG2424. 14AndG1161 beholdingG991 the manG444 who was healedG2323 standingG2476 withG4862 themG846, they couldG2192 sayG471 nothingG3762 against itG471.

15ButG1161 when they had commandedG2753 themG846 to go asideG565 out ofG1854 the councilG4892, they conferredG4820 amongG4314 themselvesG240, 16SayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 to theseG5125 menG444? forG1063 thatG3754 indeedG3303 a notableG1110 miracleG4592 hath been doneG1096 byG1223 themG846 is apparentG5318 to all themG3956 that dwellG2730 in JerusalemG2419; andG2532 we cannotG3756G1410 denyG720 it . 17ButG235 thatG3363 it may spreadG1268 noG3363 furtherG1909G4119 amongG1519 the peopleG2992, let us strictlyG547 threatenG546 themG846, that they speakG2980 henceforthG3371 to noG3367 manG444 inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686. 18AndG2532 they calledG2564 themG846, and commandedG3853 themG846 notG3361 to speakG5350 at allG2527 norG3366 teachG1321 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 19ButG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, WhetherG1487 it isG2076 rightG1342 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 to hearkenG191 to youG5216 rather thanG3123G2228 to GodG2316, judge yeG2919. 20ForG1063 weG2249 cannotG3756G1410 butG3361 speakG2980 the things whichG3739 we have seenG1492 andG2532 heardG191. 21SoG1161 when they had further threatened themG4324, they letG630 themG846 goG630, findingG2147 nothingG3367 howG4459 they might punishG2849 themG846, becauseG1223 of the peopleG2992: forG3754 allG3956 men glorifiedG1392 GodG2316 forG1909 that which was doneG1096. 22ForG1063 the manG444 wasG2258 overG4119 fortyG5062 years oldG2094, onG1909 whomG3739 thisG5124 miracleG4592 of healingG2392 was performedG1096.

23AndG1161 being releasedG630, they wentG2064 toG4314 their own companyG2398, andG2532 reportedG518 allG3745 that the chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245 had saidG2036 toG4314 themG846.
