Book 44 : ACTS - Chapter 004

004:001

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead

004:002

And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide

004:003

Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand

004:004

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes

004:005

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

004:006

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this

004:007

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel

004:008

If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole

004:009

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

004:010

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner

004:011

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved

004:012

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

004:013

And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it

004:014

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves

004:015

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

004:016

But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name

004:017

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus

004:018

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

004:019

For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard

004:020

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

004:021

For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed

004:022

And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them

004:023

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

004:024

Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things

004:025

The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ

004:026

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

004:027

For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done

004:028

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word

004:029

By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus

004:030

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

004:031

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

004:032

And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all

004:033

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

004:034

And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need

004:035

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

004:036

Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet
