Acts:4:1 @
And as they spake unto the people ,
the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them ,
asv @
Acts:4:2 @
being sore troubled because they taught the people ,
and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead .
asv @
Acts:4:3 @
And they laid hands on them ,
and put them in ward unto the morrow :
for it was now eventide .
asv @
Acts:4:4 @
But many of them that heard the word believed ;
and the number of the men came to be about five thousand .
asv @
Acts:4:5 @
And it came to pass on the morrow ,
that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem ;
asv @
Acts:4:6 @
and Annas the high priest [
was there ],
and Caiaphas ,
and John ,
and Alexander ,
and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest .
asv @
Acts:4:7 @
And when they had set them in the midst ,
they inquired ,
By what power ,
or in what name ,
have ye done this ?
asv @
Acts:4:8 @
Then Peter ,
filled with the Holy Spirit ,
said unto them ,
Ye rulers of the people ,
and elders ,
asv @
Acts:4:9 @
if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man ,
by what means this man is made whole ;
asv @
Acts:4:10 @
be it known unto you all ,
and to all the people of Israel ,
that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth ,
whom ye crucified ,
whom God raised from the dead , [
even ]
in him doth this man stand here before you whole .
asv @
Acts:4:11 @
He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders ,
which was made the head of the corner .
asv @
Acts:4:12 @
And in none other is there salvation :
for neither is there any other name under heaven ,
that is given among men ,
wherein we must be saved .
asv @
Acts:4:13 @
Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John ,
and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men ,
they marvelled ;
and they took knowledge of them ,
that they had been with Jesus .
asv @
Acts:4:14 @
And seeing the man that was healed standing with them ,
they could say nothing against it .
asv @
Acts:4:15 @
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council ,
they conferred among themselves ,
asv @
Acts:4:16 @
saying ,
What shall we do to these men ?
for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them ,
is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem ;
and we cannot deny it .
asv @
Acts:4:17 @
But that it spread no further among the people ,
let us threaten them ,
that they speak henceforth to no man in this name .
asv @
Acts:4:18 @
And they called them ,
and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus .
asv @
Acts:4:19 @
But Peter and John answered and said unto them ,
Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God ,
judge ye :
asv @
Acts:4:20 @
for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard .
asv @
Acts:4:21 @
And they ,
when they had further threatened them ,
let them go ,
finding nothing how they might punish them ,
because of the people ;
for all men glorified God for that which was done .
asv @
Acts:4:22 @
For the man was more than forty years old ,
on whom this miracle of healing was wrought .
asv @
Acts:4:23 @
And being let go ,
they came to their own company ,
and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them .
asv @
Acts:4:24 @
And they ,
when they heard it ,
lifted up their voice to God with one accord ,
and said ,
O Lord ,
thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea ,
and all that in them is :
asv @
Acts:4:25 @
who by the Holy Spirit , [
by ]
the mouth of our father David thy servant ,
didst say ,
Why did the Gentiles rage ,
And the peoples imagine vain things ?
asv @
Acts:4:26 @
The kings of the earth set themselves in array ,
And the rulers were gathered together ,
Against the Lord ,
and against his Anointed :
asv @
Acts:4:27 @
for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus ,
whom thou didst anoint ,
both Herod and Pontius Pilate ,
with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel ,
were gathered together ,
asv @
Acts:4:28 @
to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass .
asv @
Acts:4:29 @
And now ,
Lord ,
look upon their threatenings :
and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness ,
asv @
Acts:4:30 @
while thy stretchest forth thy hand to heal ;
and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus .
asv @
Acts:4:31 @
And when they had prayed ,
the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together ;
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit ,
and they spake the word of God with boldness .
