1 And as they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees approached them,
2 being greatly annoyed because of their teaching the people, and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3 And they threw hands on them, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was now evening.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, to be assembled in Jerusalem, their rulers, and elders, and scholars,
6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family.
7 And after placing them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?
8 Then Peter being filled with Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 if we are examined today about a good deed, of a feeble man, by what this man has been healed,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this, this man stands here before you healthy.
11 This is the stone that was rejected by you who build, which became into the head of the corner.
12 And salvation is not in any other man, for there is no other name under the heaven, that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate and uneducated men, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict.
15 But after commanding them to go outside of the council, they conferred among each other,
16 saying, What will we do to these men? For that indeed a notable sign has happened by them, is apparent to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
17 But that it may not spread on further among the people, let us threaten them with threats to speak no longer in this name, to not one man.
18 And having called them, they commanded them entirely, not to utter nor to teach in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John having replied to them, they said, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than God, judge ye.
20 For we are not able not to speak what we saw and heard.
21 And they, having further threatened, released them, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people. Since all glorified God for that which happened.
22 For the man was more than forty years old on whom this sign of healing had occurred.
23 And after being released, they went to their own men, and reported as many things as the chief priests and the elders said to them.
24 And those who heard lifted up a voice to God with one accord, and said, Thou Master, the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all things in them.
25 He who said through the mouth of thy boy David, Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate 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 Boy Jesus, whom thou anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,
28 to do as many things as thy hand and thy purpose predetermined to happen.
29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,
30 by thy stretching forth thy hand for healing, and signs and wonders to happen through the name of thy holy Boy Jesus.
31 And when they prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them.
33 And with great power the apostles gave back the testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
34 For not even any needy was among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling, they brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35 and placed them at the apostles' feet. And it was distributed to each, according as any man had need.
36 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles, Barnabas (which is, being translated, son of encouragement), a Levite, a Cypriot by nationality,
37 having sold a field that was possessed by him, brought the money and placed it at the apostles' feet.
1 As they spake vnto the people the prestes and the rular of the teple and the Saduces came vpon them
2 takynge it grevously that they taught ye pople and preached in Iesus the resurreccion fro deeth.
3 And they layde hondes on them and put them in holde vntill the nexte daye: for it was now even tyde.
4 How be it many of them which hearde the wordes beleved and the noumbre of the men was aboute fyve thousande.
5 And it chaunsed on the morowe that their rulars and elders and Scribes
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
7 and set the other before them and axed: by what power or what name have ye done this syrs?
8 Then Peter full of ye holy goost sayd vnto them: ye rulars of the people and elders of Israel
9 yf we this daye are examined of the good dede done to the sycke man by what meanes he is made whoale:
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.
11 This is ye stone cast a syde of you bylders which is set in the chefe place 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.
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:
14 and beholdinge also the ma which was healed stondinge with the they coulde not saye agaynst it.
15 But they comaunded them to go a syde out of the counsell and counceled amoge them selves
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.
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.
18 And they called them and comaunded them that in no wyse they shuld speake or teache in the name of Iesu.
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.
20 For we canot but speake that which we have sene and hearde.
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:
22 for the man was above fourty yeare olde on whom this myracle of healinge was shewed.
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.
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
25 which by the mouth of thy servaunt David hast sayd: Why dyd the hethen rage and the people immagen vayne thinges.
26 The kynges of the erth stode vp and the rulars came to gedder agaynst the Lorde and agaynst 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
28 for to do whatsoever thy honde and thy counsell determined before to be done.
29 And now Lorde beholde their threatenynges and graunte vnto thy servauntes with all confidence to speake thy worde.
30 So that thou stretche forth thy honde that healynge and signes and wonders be done by the name of thy holy chylde Iesus.
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.
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.
33 And with greate power gave the Apostles witnes of the resurreccion of the Lorde Iesu. And greate grace was with 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
35 and layed yt doune at the Apostles fete. And distribucion was made vnto every man accordinge as he had nede.
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
37 had londe and solde it. and layde the pryce doune at the Apostles fete.
