And as they
spake
unto
the people
, the priests
, and
the captain
of the temple
, and
the Sadducees
, came upon
them
,
Being grieved that
they
taught
the people
, and
preached
through
Jesus
the resurrection
from
the dead
.
And they laid
hands
on them
, and
put
them in
hold
unto
the next day
: for
it was
now
eventide
.
Howbeit many
of them which heard
the word
believed
; and
the number
of the men
was
about
five
thousand
.
And it came to pass
on
the morrow
, that their
rulers
, and
elders
, and
scribes
,
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
.
And when they had set
them
in
the midst
, they asked
, By
what
power
, or
by
what
name
, have
ye
done
this
?
Then Peter
, filled
with the Holy
Ghost
, said
unto
them
, Ye rulers
of the people
, and
elders
of Israel
,
If we
this day
be examined
of
the good deed done
to the impotent
man
, by
what means
he
is made whole
;
Be it known
unto 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
whole
.
This is
the stone
which
was set at nought
of
you
builders
, which
is become
the head
of
the corner
.
Neither is there
salvation
in
any
other
: for
there is
none
other
name
under
heaven
given
among
men
, whereby
we
must
be saved
.
Now when they saw
the boldness
of Peter
and
John
, and
perceived
that
they were
unlearned
and
ignorant
men
, they marvelled
; and
they took knowledge
of them
, that
they had been
with
Jesus
.
And beholding
the man
which was healed
standing
with
them
, they could
say
nothing
against it
.
But when they had commanded
them
to go aside
out of
the council
, they conferred
among
themselves
,
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 .
But that
it spread
no
further
among
the people
, let us straitly
threaten
them
, that they speak
henceforth
to no
man
in
this
name
.
And they called
them
, and commanded
them
not
to speak
at all
nor
teach
in
the name
of Jesus
.
But Peter
and
John
answered
and said
unto
them
, Whether
it be
right
in the sight
of God
to hearken
unto you
more than
unto God
, judge ye
.
For we
cannot
but
speak
the things which
we have seen
and
heard
.
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
.
For the man
was
above
forty
years old
, on
whom
this
miracle
of healing
was shewed
.
And being let go
, they went
to
their own company
, and
reported
all
that the chief priests
and
elders
had said
unto
them
.
And when they heard that
, they lifted up
their voice
to
God
with one accord
, and
said
, Lord
, thou
art God
, which
hast made
heaven
, and
earth
, and
the sea
, and
all
that in
them is
:
Who by
the mouth
of thy
servant
David
hast said
, Why
did
the heathen
rage
, and
the people
imagine
vain things
?
The kings of the earth
stood up
, and
the rulers
were gathered
together
against
the Lord
, and
against
his
Christ
.
For of
a truth
against
thy
holy
child
Jesus
, whom
thou hast anointed
, both
Herod
, and
Pontius
Pilate
, with
the Gentiles
, and
the people
of Israel
, were gathered together
,
For to do whatsoever
thy
hand
and
thy
counsel
determined before
to be done
.
And now
, Lord
, behold
their
threatenings
: and
grant unto
thy
servants
, that with
all
boldness
they may speak
thy
word
,
By stretching forth
thine
hand
to
heal
; and
that signs
and
wonders
may be done
by
the name
of thy
holy
child
Jesus
.
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 spake
the word
of God
with
boldness
.
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
.
And with great
power
gave
the apostles
witness
of the resurrection
of the Lord
Jesus
: and
great
grace
was
upon
them
all
.
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
,
And laid them down
at
the apostles
' feet
: and
distribution was made
unto every man
according
as
he had
need
.
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
,
Having land
, sold
it , and brought
the money
, and
laid
it at
the apostles
' feet
.
