| [1]And as they spake unto the people, the Priests and the Captain of the Temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, |
[1]And while they were speaking these words to the people, the priests and the Sadducees and the rulers of the temple rose up against them; |
| [2]Taking it grievously that they taught the people, and preached in Jesus' Name the resurrection from the dead. |
[2]being angry with them, that they taught the people, and preached a resurrection from the dead by the Messiah. |
| [3]And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold, until the next day: for it was now eventide. |
[3]And they laid hands on them, and kept them until the next day; because evening was drawing near. |
| [4]Howbeit, many of them which heard the word, believed, and the number of the men was about five thousand. |
[4]And many who had heard the word, believed; and they were, in number, about five thousand men. |
| [5]And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and Elders, and Scribes, were gathered together at Jerusalem, |
[5]And the next day, the rulers and the Elders and the Scribes assembled; |
| [6]And Annas the chief Priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high Priests. |
[6]and also Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and they who were of the kindred of the high priests. |
| [7]And when they had set them before them, they asked, By what power, or in what Name have ye done this? |
[7]And when they had set them in the midst, they interrogated them: By what power or what name, have ye done this? |
| [8]Then Peter full of the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel, |
[8]Then Simon Cephas was filled with the Holy Spirit, and said to them: Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of the house of Israel, hear ye. |
| [9]Forasmuch as we this day are examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, to wit, by what means he is made whole, |
[9]If we are judged by you this day, respecting the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was healed; |
| [10]Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye have crucified, whom God raised again from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you, whole. |
[10]be it known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Messiah the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, and whom God hath raised from the dead, lo, by him, doth this [man] stand here before you recovered. |
| [11]This is the stone cast aside of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. |
[11]This is the stone, which ye builders rejected; and it hath become the head of the corner. |
| [12]Neither is there salvation in any other: for among men there is given none other name under heaven, whereby we must be saved. |
[12]Neither is there deliverance in any other; for there is not another name under heaven, which is given to men, whereby to live. |
| [13]Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were unlearned men and without knowledge, they marveled, and knew them, that they had been with Jesus: |
[13]And when they heard the speech of Simon and John, which they pronounced confidently, they reflected that these were unlearned and plebeian men, and they were surprised at them, and recognized them as having been conversant with Jesus. |
| [14]And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it. |
[14]And they saw that the lame man, who had been healed, stood near them; and they could say nothing to confront them. |
| [15]Then they commanded them to go aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselves, |
[15]Then they commanded to remove them from the presence of the council; and said one to another: |
| [16]Saying, What shall we do to these men? for surely a manifest sign is done by them, and it is openly known to all them that dwell in Jerusalem: and we cannot deny it. |
[16]What shall we do to these men? For lo, that a manifest sign hath been wrought by them, is known to all that reside at Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. |
| [17]But that it be noised no farther among the people, let us threaten and charge them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this Name. |
[17]But that the fame of it spread no further, let us interdict their speaking any more to any man in this name. |
| [18]So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speak or teach in the Name of Jesus. |
[18]And they called them, and commanded them not to speak nor to teach at all in the name of Jesus. |
| [19]But Peter and John answered unto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, judge ye. |
[19]Simon Cephas and John answered, and said to them: Whether it be right before God, that we hearken to you more than to God, judge ye. |
| [20]For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. |
[20]For we cannot but speak that which we have seen and heard. |
| [21]So they threatened them, and let them go, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done. |
[21]And they threatened them, and dismissed them. For they found no ground for punishing them, because of the people: for every one praised God for what had been done; |
| [22]For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed. |
[22]for the man, on whom this sign of healing had been wrought, was more than forty years old. |
| [23]Then as soon as they were let go, they came to their fellows, and showed all that the high Priests and Elders had said unto them. |
[23]And when they were dismissed, they went to their brethren, and told them all that the priests and Elders had said. |
| [24]And when they heard it, they lift up their voices to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou art the God which hast made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them. |
[24]And they, when they heard [it], unitedly lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and seas, and every thing in them. |
| [25]Which by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vain things? |
[25]And it is thou who hast said, by the Holy Spirit in the mouth of David thy servant: Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
| [26]The Kings of the earth assembled, and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ. |
[26]The kings of the earth and the potentates stood up, and they consulted together, against the Lord, and against his anointed. |
| [27]For doubtless, against thine holy Son Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered themselves together, |
[27]For, in reality, against thy holy Son Jesus whom thou hast anointed, Herod and Pilate, with the Gentiles and the congregation of Israel, have been combined together in this city, |
| [28]To do whatsoever thine hand, and thy counsel had determined before to be done. |
[28]to do whatever thy hand and thy pleasure previously marked out to be done. |
| [29]And now, O Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants with all boldness to speak thy word, |
[29]And also now, Lord, behold and see their menaces: and grant to thy servants, that they may proclaim thy word boldly, |
| [30]So that thou stretch forth thine hand, that healing, and signs, and wonders may be done by the Name of thine holy Son Jesus. |
[30]while thou extendest thy hand for cures and prodigies, to be done in the name of thy holy Son Jesus. |
| [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 boldly. |
[31]And when they had prayed and made supplications, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly. |
| [32]And the multitude of them that believed, were of one heart, and of one soul: neither any of them said, that anything of that which he possessed, was his own, but they had all things common. |
[32]And in the assembly of the persons that believed, there was one soul, and one mind: and no one of them said, of the property he possessed, that it was his own; but whatever was theirs, it was the community's. |
| [33]And with great power gave the Apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. |
[33]And with great power, the legates testified to the resurrection of Jesus Messiah: and great grace was with them all. |
| [34]Neither was there any among them, that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things that were sold, |
[34]And no one among them was destitute; for those who possessed lands or houses, sold, and brought the price of what was sold, |
| [35]And laid it down at the Apostles' feet, and it was distributed unto every man, according as he had need. |
[35]and placed [it] at the feet of the legates; and distribution was made to every one, as he had need. |
| [36]Also Joses which was called of the Apostles, Barnabas (that is by interpretation the son of consolation) being a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, |
[36]And Joseph, who by the legates was surnamed Barnabas, (which is interpreted Son of Consolation,) a Levite of the country of Cyprus, |
| [37]Where as he had land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it down at the Apostles' feet. |
[37]had a field: and he sold it, and brought the price of it, and laid [it] before the feet of the legates. |
