Acts 4
1 As they spake vnto the people the prestes and the rular of the teple and the Saduces came vpon them
As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
2 takynge it grevously that they taught ye pople and preached in Iesus the resurreccion fro deeth.
being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they layde hondes on them and put them in holde vntill the nexte daye: for it was now even tyde.
They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
4 How be it many of them which hearde the wordes beleved and the noumbre of the men was aboute fyve thousande.
But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 And it chaunsed on the morowe that their rulars and elders and Scribes
It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
6 as Annas the chefe Prest and Cayphas and Iohn and Alexander and as many as were of ye kynred of the hye prestes gadered to geder at Ierusalem
Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
7 and set the other before them and axed: by what power or what name have ye done this syrs?
When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"
8 Then Peter full of ye holy goost sayd vnto them: ye rulars of the people and elders of Israel
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,
9 yf we this daye are examined of the good dede done to the sycke man by what meanes he is made whoale:
if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
10 be yt knowen vnto you all and to the people of Israel that in the name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth whom ye crucified and whom God raysed agayne from deeth: even by him doth this man stonde here present before you whoale.
be it known to you all, and to all the children of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is ye stone cast a syde of you bylders which is set in the chefe place of the corner.
This one is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
12 Nether is ther salvacio in eny other. Nor yet also is ther eny other name geven to men wherin we must be saved.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved."
13 When they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn and vnderstode that they were vnlerned men and laye people they marveyled and they knew them that they were with Iesu:
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 and beholdinge also the ma which was healed stondinge with the they coulde not saye agaynst it.
Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 But they comaunded them to go a syde out of the counsell and counceled amoge them selves
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 sayinge: what shall we do to these men? For a manifest signe is done by the and is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Ierusalem and we canot denye it.
saying, "What should we do with these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
17 But that it be noysed no farther amoge the people let us threaten and charge them that they speake hence forth to no man in this name.
But so this does not spread any further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name."
18 And they called them and comaunded them that in no wyse they shuld speake or teache in the name of Iesu.
They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them and sayde: whether it be right in the syght of God to obeye you moare then God iudge ye.
But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
20 For we canot but speake that which we have sene and hearde.
for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard."
21 So threatened they them and let them goo and founde no thinge how to punysshe them because of the people. For all me lauded God for the myracle which was done:
When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
22 for the man was above fourty yeare olde on whom this myracle of healinge was shewed.
For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
23 Assone as they were let goo they came to their felowes and shewed all that the hye prestes and elders had sayde to them.
Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 And when they hearde that they lyfte vp their voyces to God with one accorde and sayde: Lorde thou arte God which hast made heaven and erth the see and all that in them is
When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "Lord, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them.
25 which by the mouth of thy servaunt David hast sayd: Why dyd the hethen rage and the people immagen vayne thinges.
You said through the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant: 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kynges of the erth stode vp and the rulars came to gedder agaynst the Lorde and agaynst his Christ.
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.'
27 For of a trueth agaynst thy holy chylde Iesus whom thou hast annoynted bothe Herode and also Poncius Pylate with the Gentils and the people of Israel gaddered them selves to gedder
"For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews and the people of Israel, were gathered together
28 for to do whatsoever thy honde and thy counsell determined before to be done.
to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.
29 And now Lorde beholde their threatenynges and graunte vnto thy servauntes with all confidence to speake thy worde.
Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
30 So that thou stretche forth thy honde that healynge and signes and wonders be done by the name of thy holy chylde Iesus.
while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."
31 And assone as they had prayed the place moved wheare they were assembled to gedder and they were all filled with the holy goost and they spake the worde of God boldely.
When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 And the multitude of them that beleved were of one hert and of one soule. Also none of them sayde that eny of the thinges which he possessed was his awne: but had all thinges commen.
And the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
33 And with greate power gave the Apostles witnes of the resurreccion of the Lorde Iesu. And greate grace was with them all.
With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34 Nether was ther eny amonge them that lacked. For as many as were possessers of londes or housses solde them and brought the pryce of the thinges that were solde
For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35 and layed yt doune at the Apostles fete. And distribucion was made vnto every man accordinge as he had nede.
and put them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36 And Ioses which was also called of the Apostles Barnabas (that is to saye the sonne of consolacion) beynge a Levite and of the countre of Cipers
Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus by birth,
37 had londe and solde it. and layde the pryce doune at the Apostles fete.
having a field, sold it, and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
