1 Speaking and of them to the people, and came upon them the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees,
2 being grieved through the to teach them the people, and to announce in the Jesus the resurrection that out of dead ones.
3 And they laid on them the hands, and put into keeping to the morrow; it was for evening now.
4 Many but of those having heard the word believed; and became the number of the men about thousand five.
5 It happened and on the morrow to be assembled of them the rulers and elders and scribes at Jerusalem;
6 also Annas the highpriest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of highpriesthood.
7 And having placed them in middle they asked: By what power, or in what name did this you?
8 Then Peter being filled with spirit holy, said to them: Rulers of the people, and elders of the Israel,
9 if we today be examined to for kindness a man sick, by what he has been saved.
10 Known be it all to you and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Anointed the Nazarene, whom you crucified whom the God raised out of the dead ones, by him this has stood in presence of you sound.
11 This is the stone that having been despised by you the builders, the having been made into a head of a corner.
12 And not is in another to any one the salvation; not even for a name is another under the heaven, that having been given among men, in which must to be saved us.
13 Seeing and the of the Peter boldness and of John, and having perceived, that men unlearned they are and ungifted, they wondered, they knew and them, that with the Jesus they were;
14 the and man beholding with them standing that having been healed, nothing they had to say against.
15 Having ordered and them outside of the highcouncil to go, they consulted with each other,
16 saying: What shall we do to the men these? that indeed for known a sign has been done by them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem manifest, and not we were able to deny.
17 But that not to more it may spread among the people, with a threat let us threaten them, no longer to speak in the name this to any man.
18 And having called them, they charged them not at all not to speak nor to teach in the name of the Jesus.
19 The but Peter and John answering to them said: If just it is in presence of the God, you to hearken rather than the God, judge you.
20 Not are able for we, what we saw and heard, not to speak.
21 They and having again threatened them dismissed them, nothing finding the how they might punish them, on account of the people; because all glorified the God on account of that having been done.
22 Years for was more forty the man; on whom was wrought the sign this of the cure.
23 Having been dismissed and they came to the own friends, and related what things to them the highpriests and the elders said.
24 They and having heard, with one mind lifted up a voice to the God, and said: O Sovereign, thou the God, that having made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all the things in them;
25 who through mouth of David a servant of thee having said: Why raged nations, and peoples devised vain things?
26 Stood up the kings of the earth, and the rulers were assembled in the same, against the Lord, and against the Anointed of him.
27 Were gathered for in truth in the city this against the holy servant of thee Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, Herod both and Pontius Pilate, with Gentiles and peoples of Israel,
28 to do what things the hand of thee and the will of thee before marked out to be done.
29 And now, O Lord, look thou upon the treats of them, and grant to the slaves of thee, with freedom all to speak the word of thee,
30 in the the hand of thee to stretch out thee for healing, and signs and prodigies to do through the name of the holy child of thee Jesus.
31 And having prayed of them was shaken the place, in which they were assembled; and they were filled all of a spirit holy, and spoke the word of the God with freedom.
32 Of the and multitude of those having believed was the heart and the soul one; and not even one any of the possessions of him said his own to be, but was to them all things common.
33 And with great power the testimony the apostles of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; favor and great was on all them.
34 Not even for the poor any one was among them; such as for owners of lands or houses were, were selling bringing the prices of those being sold,
35 and were placing at the feet of the apostles; it was divided and to each one, according as might one need have.
36 Joses and, he being surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, (which is being translated, a son of exhortation,) a Levite, a Cyprian by the birth,
37 having to him a field, having sold brought the price, and placed at the feet of the apostles.
1 As they spoke to the people, the chief priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came to them.
2 They were annoyed because they taught the people through Jesus. They preached the resurrection from the dead.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day for it was already evening.
4 Many who heard the word believed. There were about five thousand men.
5 The next morning their rulers, elders, scribes,
6 Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7 They stood them in their presence and asked: »By what power or by what name do you do this?«
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said: »You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 »If we are on trial for a good deed done to a sick man, concerning how this man was made well;
10 »Let it be known to you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you impaled and whom God raised from the dead, even by him this man stands before you healed.
11 »This is the stone that was rejected by you builders. It became the chief corner stone.
12 »There is no salvation in anyone else. For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.«
13 They observed the confidence of Peter and John. Yet they thought they were uneducated not formally educated and ordinary men. They were amazed and recognized them as having been with Jesus.
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.
15 They ordered them to leave the council. Then they conferred among themselves.
16 They said: »What shall we do to these men? The fact that a notable miracle has been done by them is evident to all who live in Jerusalem. And we cannot deny it.
17 »We must warn these men not to speak about it in order to stop this from spreading further among the people.«
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Peter and John answered: »You judge whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God.
20 »We cannot stop speaking the things we have seen and heard.«
21 When they further threatened them, they let them go. They found no basis for punishment because of the people for all men glorified God for that which was done.
22 The man who received the miracle of healing was about forty years old.
23 Being released, they went to their own and reported all that the chief priests and elders said to them.
24 When they heard they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said: »Jehovah, you are God, who made heaven and earth, the sea and all in them.
25 »You spoke by the mouth of your servant David: Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? (Psalm 2:1)
26 »The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against Jehovah, and against his Christ. (Psalm 2:2)
27 Truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the people of the nations and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you have anointed.
28 »They were there to do the things your hand and council foreordained to occur.
29 »Now Jehovah behold their threats and grant that your servants keep speaking your word with boldness.
30 »You extend your hand to heal and signs and wonders appear in the name of your holy servant Jesus.«
31 When they prayed, the place where they assembled together was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 The congregation that believed was of one heart and mind. No one claimed his or her own possessions for everything was common property.
33 The apostles witnessed about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power. Grace Gods loving kindness was upon them all.
34 There was no needy person among them for as many as possessed land or houses sold them, and brought the money from the things that were sold.
35 They gave it to the apostles. Distribution was made to every man according as he had need.
36 Joses, who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, this meaning: The son of consolation, was a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus.
37 He sold his land and brought the money to the apostles.
