Andas theyspakeuntothepeople, thepriests, andthecaptainof thetemple, andtheSadducees, came uponthem, Being grievedthat theytaughtthepeople, andpreachedthroughJesustheresurrectionfromthe dead. Andthey laid hands onthem, andput them inholduntothenext day: forit wasnoweventide. Howbeitmanyof them which heardthewordbelieved; andthenumberof themenwasaboutfivethousand. Andit came to passonthemorrow, that theirrulers, andelders, andscribes, AndAnnasthehigh priest, andCaiaphas, andJohn, andAlexander, andas many aswereofthe kindredof the high priest, were gathered togetheratJerusalem. Andwhen they had settheminthemidst, they asked, Bywhatpower, orbywhatname, have yedonethis? ThenPeter, filledwith the HolyGhost, saiduntothem, Ye rulersof thepeople, andeldersof Israel, Ifwethis daybe examinedofthe good deed doneto the impotentman, bywhat meansheis made whole; Beit knownunto youall, andto allthepeopleof Israel, thatbythenameof JesusChristof Nazareth, whomyecrucified, whomGodraisedfromthe dead, even byhimdoth this manstandhere beforeyouwhole. Thisisthestonewhich was set at naughtofyoubuilders, which is becometheheadof the corner. Neitheristhere salvationinanyother: forthere isnoneothernameunderheavengivenamongmen, wherebywemustbe saved. Nowwhen they sawtheboldnessof PeterandJohn, andperceivedthatthey wereunlearnedandignorantmen, they marveled; andthey took knowledgeof them, thatthey had beenwithJesus. Andbeholdingthemanwhich was healedstandingwiththem, they couldsay nothing againstit. Butwhen they had commandedthemto go asideoutof thecouncil, they conferredamongthemselves, Saying, Whatshall we doto thesemen? forthatindeeda notablemiraclehath been donebythem is manifestto allthem that dwellin Jerusalem; andwe cannotdeny it. Butthatit spreadnofurtheramongthepeople, let us straitly threatenthem, that they speakhenceforthto nomaninthisname. Andthey calledthem, and commandedthemnotto speakat allnorteachinthenameof Jesus. ButPeterandJohnansweredand saiduntothem, Whetherit berightin the sightof Godto hearkenunto youmorethanunto God, judgeye. Forwecannotbutspeakthe things whichwe have seenandheard. Sowhen theyhad further threatenedthem, they let them go, findingnothinghowthey might punishthem, becauseof thepeople: forall men glorifiedGodforthat which was done. Forthemanwasabovefortyyears old, onwhomthismiracleof healingwas showed. Andbeing let go, they wenttotheir own company, andreportedall thatthechief priestsandeldershad saiduntothem. Andwhen theyheardthat, they lifted uptheir voicetoGodwith one accord, andsaid, Lord, thou art God, which hast madeheaven, andearth, andthesea, andallthatinthemis: Who bythe mouthof thyservantDavidhast said, Whydid the heathenrage, andthe peopleimaginevain things? Thekingsof theearthstood up, andtherulerswere gatheredtogetheragainsttheLord, andagainsthisChrist. Forofa truthagainstthyholychildJesus, whomthou hast anointed, bothHerod, andPontiusPilate, withthe Gentiles, andthe peopleof Israel, were gathered together, For to dowhatsoeverthyhandandthycounseldetermined beforeto be done. Andnow, Lord, beholdtheirthreatenings: andgrantunto thyservants, that withallboldnessthey may speakthyword, Bystretching forththinehandtoheal; andthat signsandwondersmay be donebythenameof thyholychildJesus. Andwhen theyhad prayed, theplacewas shakenwherethey wereassembled together; andthey were allfilledwith the HolyGhost, andthey spakethewordof Godwithboldness. Andthemultitudeof them that believedwereof oneheartandof one soul: neithersaidany of them that aughtof the things which he possessedwashis own; buttheyhadall thingscommon. Andwith greatpowergavetheapostleswitnessof theresurrectionof theLordJesus: andgreatgracewasuponthemall. Neitherwasthere anyamongthemthat lacked: foras many aswerepossessorsof landsorhousessoldthem, and broughtthepricesof the things that were sold, Andlaid them downattheapostles' feet: anddistribution was madeunto every manaccording ashehadneed. AndJoses, whobytheapostleswas surnamedBarnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The sonof consolation,) aLevite, and of the country of Cyprus, Havingland, sold it, and broughtthemoney, andlaid it attheapostles' feet.
