| [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; |
[1]And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, |
| [2]being angry with them, that they taught the people, and preached a resurrection from the dead by the Messiah. |
[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 kept them until the next day; because evening was drawing near. |
[3]And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody to the next day: for it was now evening. |
| [4]And many who had heard the word, believed; and they were, in number, about five thousand men. |
[4]But many of them who heard the word, believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand. |
| [5]And the next day, the rulers and the Elders and the Scribes assembled; |
[5]And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, |
| [6]and also Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and they who were of the kindred of the high priests. |
[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 assembled at Jerusalem. |
| [7]And when they had set them in the midst, they interrogated them: By what power or what name, have ye done this? |
[7]And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name have ye done this? |
| [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. |
[8]Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, |
| [9]If we are judged by you this day, respecting the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was healed; |
[9]If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made sound. |
| [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. |
[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 sound. |
| [11]This is the stone, which ye builders rejected; and it hath become the head of the corner. |
[11]This is the stone which was set at naught by you builders, which is become the head of the corner. |
| [12]Neither is there deliverance in any other; for there is not another name under heaven, which is given to men, whereby to live. |
[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. |
| [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. |
[13]Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. |
| [14]And they saw that the lame man, who had been healed, stood near them; and they could say nothing to confront them. |
[14]And beholding the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. |
| [15]Then they commanded to remove them from the presence of the council; and said one to another: |
[15]But when they had commanded them to withdraw from the council, they conferred among themselves, |
| [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. |
[16]Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. |
| [17]But that the fame of it spread no further, let us interdict their speaking any more to any man in this name. |
[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. |
| [18]And they called them, and commanded them not to speak nor to teach at all in the name of Jesus. |
[18]And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus. |
| [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. |
[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. |
| [20]For we cannot but speak that which we have seen and heard. |
[20]For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. |
| [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; |
[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. |
| [22]for the man, on whom this sign of healing had been wrought, was more than forty years old. |
[22]For the man was above forty years old on whom this miracle of healing was performed. |
| [23]And when they were dismissed, they went to their brethren, and told them all that the priests and Elders had said. |
[23]And being dismissed, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to 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. |
[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; |
| [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? |
[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 and the potentates stood up, and they consulted together, against the Lord, and against his anointed. |
[26]The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were assembled against the Lord, and against his Christ. |
| [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, |
[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 assembled, |
| [28]to do whatever thy hand and thy pleasure previously marked out to be done. |
[28]To do whatever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. |
| [29]And also now, Lord, behold and see their menaces: and grant to thy servants, that they may proclaim thy word boldly, |
[29]And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant to thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, |
| [30]while thou extendest thy hand for cures and prodigies, to be done in the name of thy holy Son Jesus. |
[30]By stretching forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. |
| [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. |
[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. |
| [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. |
[32]And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart, and of one soul: neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. |
| [33]And with great power, the legates testified to the resurrection of Jesus Messiah: and great grace was with them all. |
[33]And with great power the apostles gave testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. |
| [34]And no one among them was destitute; for those who possessed lands or houses, sold, and brought the price of what was sold, |
[34]Neither was there any among them that was in want: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, |
| [35]and placed [it] at the feet of the legates; and distribution was made to every one, as he had need. |
[35]And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made to every man according as he had need. |
| [36]And Joseph, who by the legates was surnamed Barnabas, (which is interpreted Son of Consolation,) a Levite of the country of Cyprus, |
[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, |
| [37]had a field: and he sold it, and brought the price of it, and laid [it] before the feet of the legates. |
[37]Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet. |
