Acts 4
1 And as they spake vnto the people, the Priestes and the Captaine of the Temple, and the Sadduces came vpon them,
Loquentibus autem illis ad populum, supervenerunt sacerdotes, et magistratus templi, et sadducæi,
2 Taking it grieuously that they taught the people, and preached in Iesus Name the resurrection from the dead.
dolentes quod docerent populum, et annuntiarent in Jesu resurrectionem ex mortuis:
3 And they layde handes on them, and put them in holde, vntill the next day: for it was now euentide.
et injecerunt in eos manus, et posuerunt eos in custodiam in crastinum: erat enim jam vespera.
4 Howbeit, many of them which heard the word, beleeued, and the number of the men was about fiue thousand.
Multi autem eorum qui audierant verbum, crediderunt: et factus est numerus virorum quinque millia.
5 And it came to passe on the morow, that their rulers, and Elders, and Scribes, were gathered together at Hierusalem,
Factum est autem in crastinum, ut congregarentur principes eorum, et seniores, et scribæ, in Jerusalem:
6 And Annas the chiefe Priest, and Caiaphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the hie Priestes.
et Annas princeps sacerdotum, et Caiphas, et Joannes, et Alexander, et quotquot erant de genere sacerdotali.
7 And whe they had set them before them, they asked, By what power, or in what Name haue ye done this?
Et statuentes eos in medio, interrogabant: In qua virtute, aut in quo nomine fecistis hoc vos?
8 Then Peter ful of the holy Ghost, said vnto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel,
Tunc repletus Spiritu Sancto Petrus, dixit ad eos: Principes populi, et seniores, audite:
9 For as much as we this day are examined of the good deede done to the impotent man, to wit, by what meanes he is made whole,
si nos hodie dijudicamur in benefacto hominis infirmi, in quo iste salvus factus est,
10 Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye haue crucified, whome God raised againe from the dead, euen by him doth this man stand here before you, whole.
notum sit omnibus vobis, et omni plebi Israël, quia in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Nazareni, quem vos crucifixistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, in hoc iste astat coram vobis sanus.
11 This is the stone cast aside of you builders which is become the head of the corner.
Hic est lapis qui reprobatus est a vobis ædificantibus, qui factus est in caput anguli:
12 Neither is there saluation in any other: for among men there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued.
et non est in alio aliquo salus. Nec enim aliud nomen est sub cælo datum hominibus, in quo oporteat nos salvos fieri.
13 Now when they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstoode that they were vnlearned men and without knowledge, they marueiled, and knew them, that they had bin with Iesus:
Videntes autem Petri constantiam, et Joannis, comperto quod homines essent sine litteris, et idiotæ, admirabantur, et cognoscebant eos quoniam cum Jesu fuerant:
14 And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.
hominem quoque videntes stantem cum eis, qui curatus fuerat, nihil poterant contradicere.
15 Then they commanded them to goe aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselues,
Jusserunt autem eos foras extra concilium secedere: et conferebant ad invicem,
16 Saying, What shall we doe to these men? for surely a manifest signe is done by them, and it is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Hierusalem: and we cannot denie it.
dicentes: Quid faciemus hominibus istis? quoniam quidem notum signum factum est per eos omnibus habitantibus Jerusalem: manifestum est, et non possumus negare.
17 But that it be noysed no farther among the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hencefoorth to no man in this Name.
Sed ne amplius divulgetur in populum, comminemur eis ne ultra loquantur in nomine hoc ulli hominum.
18 So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speake or teach in the Name of Iesus.
Et vocantes eos, denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur neque docerent in nomine Jesu.
19 But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, iudge ye.
Petrus vero et Joannes respondentes, dixerunt ad eos: Si justum est in conspectu Dei vos potius audire quam Deum, judicate.
20 For we cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.
Non enim possumus quæ vidimus et audivimus non loqui.
21 So they threatened them, and let them goe, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.
At illi comminantes dimiserunt eos, non invenientes quomodo punirent eos propter populum: quia omnes clarificabant id quod factum fuerat in eo quod acciderat.
22 For the man was aboue fourtie yeeres olde, on whome this miracle of healing was shewed.
Annorum enim erat amplius quadraginta homo, in quo factum fuerat signum istud sanitatis.
23 Then assoone as they were let goe, they came to their fellowes, and shewed all that the hie Priestes and Elders had said vnto them.
Dimissi autem venerunt ad suos, et annuntiaverunt eis quanta ad eos principes sacerdotum et seniores dixissent.
24 And when they heard it, they lift vp their voyces to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou art the God which hast made the heaue, and the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,
Qui cum audissent, unanimiter levaverunt vocem ad Deum, et dixerunt: Domine, tu es qui fecisti cælum et terram, mare et omnia quæ in eis sunt:
25 Which by the mouth of thy seruant Dauid hast saide, Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vaine things?
qui Spiritu Sancto per os patris nostri David pueri tui dixisti: [Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania?
26 The Kings of the earth assembled, and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus.]
27 For doutlesse, against thine holy Sonne Iesus, whome thou haddest anoynted, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered themselues together,
Convenerunt enim vere in civitate ista adversus sanctum puerum tuum Jesum, quem unxisti, Herodes et Pontius Pilatus, cum gentibus et populis Israël,
28 To doe whatsoeuer thine hand, and thy counsell had determined before to be done.
facere quæ manus tua et consilium tuum decreverunt fieri.
29 And nowe, O Lord, beholde their threatnings, and graunt vnto thy seruants with all boldnesse to speake thy word,
Et nunc, Domine, respice in minas eorum, et da servis tuis cum omni fiducia loqui verbum tuum,
30 So that thou stretch forth thine hand, that healing, and signes, and wonders may be done by the Name of thine holy Sonne Iesus.
in eo quod manum tuam extendas ad sanitates, et signa, et prodigia fieri per nomen sancti filii tui Jesu.
31 And when as they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God boldely.
Et cum orassent, motus est locus in quo erant congregati: et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et loquebantur verbum Dei cum fiducia.
32 And the multitude of them that beleeued, were of one heart, and of one soule: neither any of them said, that any thing of that which he possessed, was his owne, but they had all thinges common.
Multitudinis autem credentium erat cor unum et anima una: nec quisquam eorum quæ possidebat, aliquid suum esse dicebat, sed erant illis omnia communia.
33 And with great power gaue the Apostles witnes of the resurrection of the Lord Iesus: and great grace was vpon them all.
Et virtute magna reddebant Apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri: et gratia magna erat in omnibus illis.
34 Neither was there any among them, that lacked: for as many as were possessours of landes or houses, solde them, and brought the price of the things that were solde,
Neque enim quisquam egens erat inter illos. Quotquot enim possessores agrorum aut domorum erant, vendentes afferebant pretia eorum quæ vendebant,
35 And layde it downe at the Apostles feete, and it was distributed vnto euery man, according as he had neede.
et ponebant ante pedes Apostolorum. Dividebatur autem singulis prout cuique opus erat.
36 Also Ioses which was called of the Apostles, Barnabas (that is by interpretation the sonne of consolation) being a Leuite, and of the countrey of Cyprus,
Joseph autem, qui cognominatus est Barnabas ab Apostolis (quod est interpretatum, Filius consolationis), Levites, Cyprius genere,
37 Where as he had land, solde it, and brought the money, and laid it downe at the Apostles feete.
cum haberet agrum, vendidit eum, et attulit pretium, et posuit ante pedes Apostolorum.
