44_ACT_04_01 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, And the captain of the temple, And the Sadducees, came upon them,
44_ACT_04_02 being grieved that they taught the people, And preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
44_ACT_04_03 And they laid hands on them, And put [ them] in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
44_ACT_04_04 Howbeit Many of them which heard the word believed; And the number of the men was about five thousand.
44_ACT_04_05 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, And elders, And scribes,
44_ACT_04_06 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.
44_ACT_04_07 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, by what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
44_ACT_04_08 Then Peter, filled with the holy Ghost, said unto them, ye rulers of the people, And elders of Israel,
44_ACT_04_09 if we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he Is made whole;
44_ACT_04_10 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.
44_ACT_04_11 this Is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which Is become the head of the corner.
44_ACT_04_12 neither Is there salvation in any other: for there Is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
44_ACT_04_13 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.
44_ACT_04_14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
44_ACT_04_15 but when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
44_ACT_04_16 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].
44_ACT_04_17 but that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
44_ACT_04_18 And they called them, And commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
44_ACT_04_19 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.
44_ACT_04_20 for we cannot but speak the things which we have seen And heard.
44_ACT_04_21 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.
44_ACT_04_22 for the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed.
44_ACT_04_23 And being let go, they went to their own company, And reported all that the chief priests And elders had said unto them.
44_ACT_04_24 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:
44_ACT_04_25 who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, why did the heathen rage, And the people imagine vain things?
44_ACT_04_26 the kings of the earth stood up, And the rulers were gathered together against the LORD, And against his Christ.
44_ACT_04_27 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,
44_ACT_04_28 for to do whatsoever thy hand And thy counsel determined before to be done.
44_ACT_04_29 And now, LORD, behold their threatenings: And grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
44_ACT_04_30 by stretching forth thine hand to heal; And that signs And wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
44_ACT_04_31 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.
44_ACT_04_32 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.
44_ACT_04_33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the LORD Jesus: And great grace was upon them all.
44_ACT_04_34 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,
44_ACT_04_35 And laid [ them] down at the apostles' feet: And distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
44_ACT_04_36 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,
44_ACT_04_37 having land, sold [ it], And brought the money, And laid [ it] at the apostles' feet.
