1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody to the next day: for it was now evening.

and they laid hands on them, and put them in ward till the morrow; for it was already evening.

4 But many of them who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

But many of those who had heard the word believed; and the number of the men had become [about] five thousand.

5 And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem,

6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of [the] high priestly family;

7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

and having placed them in the midst they inquired, In what power or in what name have ye done this?

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

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

9 If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made well;

if we this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed [done] to the infirm man, how he has been healed,

10 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you in good health.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom ye have crucified, whom God has raised from among [the] dead, by him this [man] stands here before you sound [in body].

11 This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

He is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved.

And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.

14 And beholding the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to reply;

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

but having commanded them to go out of the council they conferred with one another,

16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is apparent to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed an evident sign has come to pass through their means is manifest to all that inhabit Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

17 But that it may spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

But that it be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name.

18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

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

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

But Peter and John answering said to them, If it be righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye;

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

for as for us we cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.

21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place;

22 For the man was over forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was performed.

for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old.

23 And being released, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

And having been let go, they came to their own [company], and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that is in them:

And they, having heard [it], lifted up [their] voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;

25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

26 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 child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with [the] nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city

28 To do whatever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant to thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and give to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

in that thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders take place through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.

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

33 And with great power the apostles gave witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

34 Neither was there any among them that was needy: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

For neither was there any one in want among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling them, brought the price of what was sold

35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made to every man according as he had need.

and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to each according as any one might have need.

36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, ( which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation, ) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
