Acts 4

1 And as they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees approached them,

And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees —

2 being greatly annoyed because of their teaching the people, and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead —

3 And they threw hands on them, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was now evening.

and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already;

4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.

and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.

5 And it came to pass on the morrow, to be assembled in Jerusalem, their rulers, and elders, and scholars,

And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,

6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family.

and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest,

7 And after placing them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?

and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, 'In what power, or in what name did ye do this?'

8 Then Peter being filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

9 if we are examined today about a good deed, of a feeble man, by what this man has been healed,

if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,

10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this, this man stands here before you healthy.

be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

11 This is the stone that was rejected by you who build, which became into the head of the corner.

'This is the stone that was set at nought by you — the builders, that became head of a corner;

12 And salvation is not in any other man, for there is no other name under the heaven, that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.

and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate and uneducated men, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.

And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been —

14 And seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict.

and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],

15 But after commanding them to go outside of the council, they conferred among each other,

and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another,

16 saying, What will we do to these men? For that indeed a notable sign has happened by them, is apparent to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] manifest, and we are not able to deny [it];

17 But that it may not spread on further among the people, let us threaten them with threats to speak no longer in this name, to not one man.

but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.'

18 And having called them, they commanded them entirely, not to utter nor to teach in the name of Jesus.

And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus,

19 But Peter and John having replied to them, they said, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than God, judge ye.

and Peter and John answering unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;

20 For we are not able not to speak what we saw and heard.

for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'

21 And they, having further threatened, released them, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people. Since all glorified God for that which happened.

And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,

22 For the man was more than forty years old on whom this sign of healing had occurred.

for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.

23 And after being released, they went to their own men, and reported as many things as the chief priests and the elders said to them.

And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto them,

24 And those who heard lifted up a voice to God with one accord, and said, Thou Master, the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all things in them.

and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou [art] God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,

25 He who said through the mouth of thy boy David, Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?

who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?

26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.

the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;

27 For in truth, against thy holy Boy Jesus, whom thou anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,

for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,

28 to do as many things as thy hand and thy purpose predetermined to happen.

to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.

29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,

'And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,

30 by thy stretching forth thy hand for healing, and signs and wonders to happen through the name of thy holy Boy Jesus.

in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'

31 And when they prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,

32 And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them.

and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.

33 And with great power the apostles gave back the testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all,

34 For not even any needy was among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling, they brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,

35 and placed them at the apostles' feet. And it was distributed to each, according as any man had need.

and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need.

36 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles, Barnabas (which is, being translated, son of encouragement), a Levite, a Cypriot by nationality,

And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas — which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort — a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,

37 having sold a field that was possessed by him, brought the money and placed it at the apostles' feet.

a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
