1
As they were speaking
to the people,
the priests
and the captain
of the temple
guard and the Sadducees
came
up to them,
2
being greatly disturbed
because
they were teaching
the people
and proclaiming
in Jesus
the resurrection
from the dead.
3
And they laid
hands
on them and put
them in jail
until
the next day,
for it was already
evening.
4
But many
of those
who had heard
the message
believed;
and the number
of the men
came
to be about
five
thousand.
5
On the next day,
their rulers
and elders
and scribes
were gathered together
in Jerusalem;
6
and Annas
the high priest
was there, and Caiaphas
and John
and Alexander,
and all who
were of high-priestly
descent.
7
When they had placed
them in the center,
they began to inquire,
"By what
power,
or
in what
name,
have you done
this?"
8
Then
Peter,
filled
with the Holy
Spirit,
said
to them, "Rulers
and elders
of the people,
9
if
we are on trial
today
for a benefit done
to a sick
man,
as to how
this man
has been made well,
10
let it be known
to all
of you and
to all
the people
of Israel,
that by the name
of Jesus
Christ
the Nazarene,
whom
you crucified,
whom
God
raised
from the dead--
by this name this man
stands here
before
you in good health.
11
"He is the STONE
WHICH WAS REJECTED
by you, THE BUILDERS,
but WHICH BECAME
THE CHIEF
CORNER
stone.
12
"And there is salvation
in no
one
else;
for there is no
other
name
under
heaven
that has been given
among
men
by which
we must
be saved."
13
Now
as they observed
the confidence
of Peter
and John
and understood
that they were uneducated
and untrained
men,
they were amazed,
and began to recognize
them as having been
with Jesus.
14
And seeing
the man
who had been healed
standing
with them, they had
nothing
to say in reply.
15
But when they had ordered
them to leave
the Council,
they began to confer
with one another,
16
saying,
"What
shall we do
with these
men?
For the fact
that a noteworthy
miracle
has taken place
through
them is apparent
to all
who live
in Jerusalem,
and we cannot
deny
it.
17
"But so
that it will not spread
any
further
among
the people,
let us warn
them to speak
no longer
to
any
man
in this
name."
18
And when they had summoned
them, they commanded
them not to speak
or
teach
at all
in the name
of Jesus.
19
But Peter
and John
answered
and said
to them, "Whether
it is right
in the sight
of God
to give heed
to you rather
than
to God,
you be the judge;
20
for we cannot
stop
speaking
about what
we have seen
and heard."
21
When they had threatened them further,
they let them go
(finding
no basis
on which to punish
them) on account
of the people,
because
they were all
glorifying
God
for what had happened;
22
for the man
was more
than forty
years
old on whom
this
miracle
of healing
had been performed.
23
When they had been released,
they went
to their own
companions and reported
all
that the chief priests
and the elders
had said
to them.
24
And when they heard
this, they lifted
their voices
to God
with one accord
and said,
"O Lord,
it is You who MADE THE HEAVEN
AND THE EARTH
AND THE SEA,
AND ALL
THAT IS IN THEM,
25
who by the Holy
Spirit,
through the mouth
of our father
David
Your servant,
said,
'
WHY
DID THE GENTILES
RAGE,
AND THE PEOPLES
DEVISE
FUTILE THINGS?
26
'
THE KINGS
OF THE EARTH
TOOK THEIR STAND,
AND THE RULERS
WERE GATHERED
TOGETHER
AGAINST
THE LORD
AND
AGAINST
HIS CHRIST.'
27
"For truly
in this
city
there were gathered together
against
Your holy
servant
Jesus,
whom
You anointed,
both
Herod
and Pontius
Pilate,
along
with the Gentiles
and the peoples
of Israel,
28
to do
whatever
Your hand
and Your purpose
predestined
to occur.
29
"And now,
Lord,
take note
of their threats,
and grant
that Your bond-servants
may speak
Your word
with all
confidence,
30
while
You extend
Your hand
to heal,
and signs
and wonders
take place
through
the name
of Your holy
servant
Jesus."
31
And when they had prayed,
the place
where
they had gathered together
was shaken,
and they were all
filled
with the Holy
Spirit
and began to speak
the word
of God
with boldness.
32
And the congregation
of those
who believed
were of one
heart
and soul;
and not one
of them claimed
that anything
belonging
to him was his own,
but all things
were common property
to them.
33
And with great
power
the apostles
were giving
testimony
to the resurrection
of the Lord
Jesus,
and abundant
grace
was upon them all.
34
F
or
there was not a needy
person
among
them, f
or
all who
were owners
of land
or
houses
would sell
them and bring
the proceeds
of the sales
35
and lay
them at the apostles'
feet,
and they would be distributed
to each
as any
had
need.
36
Now Joseph,
a Levite
of Cyprian
birth,
who was also called
Barnabas
by the apostles
(which
translated
means
Son
of Encouragement),
37
and who owned
a tract of land,
sold
it and brought
the money
and laid
it at the apostles'
feet.
