1 E, estando eles falando ao povo, sobrevieram os sacerdotes, e o capitão do templo, e os saduceus,
2 Doendo-se muito de que ensinassem o povo, e anunciassem em Jesus a ressurreição dentre os mortos.
3 E lançaram mão deles, e os encerraram na prisão até ao dia seguinte, pois já era tarde.
4 Muitos, porém, dos que ouviram a palavra creram, e chegou o número desses homens a quase cinco mil.
5 E aconteceu, no dia seguinte, reunirem-se em Jerusalém os seus principais, os anciãos, os escribas,
6 E Anás, o sumo sacerdote, e Caifás, e João, e Alexandre, e todos quantos havia da linhagem do sumo sacerdote.
7 E, pondo-os no meio, perguntaram: Com que poder ou em nome de quem fizestes isto?
8 Então Pedro, cheio do Espírito Santo, lhes disse: Principais do povo, e vós, anciãos de Israel,
9 Visto que hoje somos interrogados acerca do benefício feito a um homem enfermo, e do modo como foi curado,
10 Seja conhecido de vós todos, e de todo o povo de Israel, que em nome de Jesus Cristo, o Nazareno, aquele a quem vós crucificastes e a quem Deus ressuscitou dentre os mortos, em nome desse é que este está são diante de vós.
11 Ele é a pedra que foi rejeitada por vós, os edificadores, a qual foi posta por cabeça de esquina.
12 E em nenhum outro há salvação, porque também debaixo do céu nenhum outro nome há, dado entre os homens, pelo qual devamos ser salvos.
13 Então eles, vendo a ousadia de Pedro e João, e informados de que eram homens sem letras e indoutos, maravilharam-se e reconheceram que eles haviam estado com Jesus.
14 E, vendo estar com eles o homem que fora curado, nada tinham que dizer em contrário.
15 Todavia, mandando-os sair fora do conselho, conferenciaram entre si,
16 Dizendo: Que havemos de fazer a estes homens? porque a todos os que habitam em Jerusalém é manifesto que por eles foi feito um sinal notório, e não o podemos negar;
17 Mas, para que não se divulgue mais entre o povo, ameacemo-los para que não falem mais nesse nome a homem algum.
18 E, chamando-os, disseram-lhes que absolutamente não falassem, nem ensinassem, no nome de Jesus.
19 Respondendo, porém, Pedro e João, lhes disseram: Julgai vós se é justo, diante de Deus, ouvir-vos antes a vós do que a Deus;
20 Porque não podemos deixar de falar do que temos visto e ouvido.
21 Mas eles ainda os ameaçaram mais e, não achando motivo para os castigar, deixaram-nos ir, por causa do povo; porque todos glorificavam a Deus pelo que acontecera;
22 Pois tinha mais de quarenta anos o homem em quem se operara aquele milagre de saúde.
23 E, soltos eles, foram para os seus, e contaram tudo o que lhes disseram os principais dos sacerdotes e os anciãos.
24 E, ouvindo eles isto, unânimes levantaram a voz a Deus, e disseram: Senhor, tu és o Deus que fizeste o céu, e a terra, e o mar e tudo o que neles há;
25 Que disseste pela boca de Davi, teu servo: Por que bramaram os gentios, e os povos pensaram coisas vãs?
26 Levantaram-se os reis da terra,E os príncipes se ajuntaram à uma,Contra o Senhor e contra o seu Ungido.
27 Porque verdadeiramente contra o teu santo Filho Jesus, que tu ungiste, se ajuntaram, não só Herodes, mas Pôncio Pilatos, com os gentios e os povos de Israel;
28 Para fazerem tudo o que a tua mão e o teu conselho tinham anteriormente determinado que se havia de fazer.
29 Agora, pois, ó Senhor, olha para as suas ameaças, e concede aos teus servos que falem com toda a ousadia a tua palavra;
30 Enquanto estendes a tua mão para curar, e para que se façam sinais e prodígios pelo nome de teu santo Filho Jesus.
31 E, tendo orado, moveu-se o lugar em que estavam reunidos; e todos foram cheios do Espírito Santo, e anunciavam com ousadia a palavra de Deus.
32 E era um o coração e a alma da multidão dos que criam, e ninguém dizia que coisa alguma do que possuía era sua própria, mas todas as coisas lhes eram comuns.
33 E os apóstolos davam, com grande poder, testemunho da ressurreição do Senhor Jesus, e em todos eles havia abundante graça.
34 Não havia, pois, entre eles necessitado algum; porque todos os que possuíam herdades ou casas, vendendo-as, traziam o preço do que fora vendido, e o depositavam aos pés dos apóstolos.
35 E repartia-se a cada um, segundo a necessidade que cada um tinha.
36 Então José, cognominado pelos apóstolos Barnabé(que, traduzido, é Filho da consolação), levita, natural de Chipre,
37 Possuindo uma herdade, vendeu-a, e trouxe o preço, e o depositou aos pés dos apóstolos.
1 And as they spoke to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came on 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 hold to the next day: for it was now eventide.
4 However, many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
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.
7 And when they had set them in the middle, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have you done this?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them, You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the weak man, by what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him does this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nothing of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby 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 marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle has been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straightly threaten them, that they speak from now on to no man in this name.
18 And they called them, and commanded 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 be right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, judge you.
20 For we cannot but speak 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.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed.
23 And being let go, they went 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, you are God, which have made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25 Who by the mouth of your servant David have 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 of a truth against your holy child Jesus, whom you have anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 For to do whatever your hand and your counsel determined before to be done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant to your servants, that with all boldness they may speak your word,
30 By stretching forth your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of your holy child Jesus.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was on 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 prices of the things that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles'feet: and distribution was made to every man according as he had 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,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles'feet.
