Acts 4:11-20 in English

¹¹ He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.

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.

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.

¹⁴ And seeing the man that was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

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.

¹⁷ But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

¹⁸ And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

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:

²⁰ for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.

¹¹ This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

¹² Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

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.

¹⁴ And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

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.

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.

¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

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.

²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

¹¹ He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.

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.

¹³ Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ And seeing the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

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.

¹⁷ But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

¹⁸ And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:

²⁰ for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.

¹¹ In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: He is like MET the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building that they were building. Jesus is that stone, and you are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one.

¹² So he alone can save us MTY. God has sent only one person MTY into the world who can save us from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus!”

¹³ The Jewish leaders realized that Peter and John ◄were not afraid of them/spoke boldly►. They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.

¹⁴ They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with the two of them, so they were not able to say anything to oppose Peter and John.

¹⁵ So the Jewish leaders commanded guards to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room where those leaders were meeting. After they did so, the leaders talked with each other about Peter and John.

¹⁶ Being frustrated, one after another, they said, “◄There is really nothing that we can do to punish these two men!/How can we (inc) do anything to punish these two men?► RHQ Almost everyone HYP who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!

¹⁷ However, we must not allow other people to hear about this miracle. So we must tell these men that we will punish them if they continue to tell other people about this MTY man who they say gave them the power to do it.”

¹⁸ So the Jewish leaders commanded guards to bring the two apostles into that room again. After they did so, they commanded them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach anyone about him MTY again.

¹⁹ But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right for us two to obey you and not to obey him? We(exc) will let you decide which of those you think is proper.

²⁰ But as for us, we cannot obey you. We will not stop telling people about the things that we (exc) have seen Jesus do and what we have heard him teach.”

¹¹ He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

¹² There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

¹⁶ saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

¹⁷ But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

¹⁸ They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

²⁰ for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

¹¹ He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

¹² There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

¹⁶ saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

¹⁷ But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

¹⁸ They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

²⁰ for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

¹¹ He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

¹² There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given amongst men, by which we must be saved!”

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled. They recognised that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred amongst themselves,

¹⁶ saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

¹⁷ But so that this spreads no further amongst the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

¹⁸ They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

²⁰ for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

¹¹ He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building.

¹² And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation.

¹³ Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ And, seeing that the man who had been made well was there with them, they were not able to say anything against it.

¹⁵ But when they had given them orders to go out of the Sanhedrin, they had a discussion among themselves,

¹⁶ Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.

¹⁷ But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.

¹⁸ And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:

²⁰ For it is not possible for us to keep from saying what we have seen and have knowledge of.

¹¹ He is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone.

¹² And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.

¹³ But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.

¹⁴ And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to reply;

¹⁵ but having commanded them to go out of the council they conferred with one another,

¹⁶ saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed an evident sign has come to pass through their means is manifest to all that inhabit Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷ But that it be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name.

¹⁸ And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answering said to them, If it be righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye;

²⁰ for as for us we cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.

¹¹ This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner.

¹² Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.

¹³ Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered; and they knew them that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Seeing the man also who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But they commanded them to go aside out of the council; and they conferred among themselves,

¹⁶ Saying: What shall we do to these men? for indeed a known miracle hath been done by them, to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: it is manifest, and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷ But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man.

¹⁸ And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye.

²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

¹¹ This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you, the builders, which became the chief cornerstone.’

¹² Nor is there salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven which has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

¹³ Now when they observed the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ But seeing the man that had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against them.

¹⁵ And they commanded them to go away outside the council, and began to confer among themselves,

¹⁶ saying, “What shall we do to these men? For indeed, that a known sign has come to pass by them is evident to all those who are dwelling in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷ But lest it be spread further among the people, let us threaten them with a threat, that they speak no longer to any man in this name.”

¹⁸ And summoning them, they commanded them not to speak at all nor to teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered them and said, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than God, you be the judge.

²⁰ For we can do none other but to speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

¹¹ This is ‘the stone which was despised by you, the builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’

¹² Also, the salvation does not exist in anyone else, because there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.”

¹³ Now upon observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving that they were uneducated and unskilled men, they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Further, seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ So ordering them to go out from the council they began to confer among themselves,

¹⁶ saying: “What can we do to these men? Because, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷ But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them to no longer speak to anyone in this name.”

¹⁸ So summoning them they commanded them absolutely not to speak or teach in the name of ‘Jesus’.

¹⁹ But in answer Peter and John said to them: “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves;

²⁰ because we cannot help but speak the things we have seen and heard.”

¹¹ ‘He is the stone you builders rejected, but he has been made the chief cornerstone.’

¹² There is no salvation in anyone else; there is no other name under heaven given to humanity that can possibly save us.”

¹³ When they saw Peter and John's confidence, and realized they were uneducated, ordinary men, they were very surprised. They also recognized them as Jesus' companions.

¹⁴ Since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there with them, they had nothing to say in response to what had happened.

¹⁵ So they instructed them to wait outside the council while they discussed the matter among themselves.

¹⁶ “What should we do with these men?” they asked. “We can't deny a significant miracle has happened through them. Everybody living here in Jerusalem knows about it.

¹⁷ But to prevent it spreading among the people any further, we should threaten them never to speak to anybody in this name again.”

¹⁸ So they called them back in and ordered them never to speak or teach in the name of Jesus again.

¹⁹ But Peter and John responded, “Whether it's right in God's eyes to obey you rather than God—you decide.

²⁰ We can't help talking about what we've seen and heard!”

¹¹ This is the stone cast aside of you builders which is become the head of the corner.

¹² Neither is there saluation in any other: for among men there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued.

¹³ Now when they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstoode that they were vnlearned men and without knowledge, they marueiled, and knew them, that they had bin with Iesus:

¹⁴ And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

¹⁵ Then they commanded them to goe aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselues,

¹⁶ Saying, What shall we doe to these men? for surely a manifest signe is done by them, and it is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Hierusalem: and we cannot denie it.

¹⁷ But that it be noysed no farther among the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hencefoorth to no man in this Name.

¹⁸ So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speake or teach in the Name of Iesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, iudge ye.

²⁰ For we cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.

¹¹ This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

¹² Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

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.

¹⁴ And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

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.

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.

¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

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.

²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

¹¹ This is the stone which was set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone.

¹² And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been given among men, by which we must be saved.

¹³ And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus.

¹⁴ And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

¹⁶ saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷ But that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly forbid them with threats to speak any longer in this name to any one.

¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, 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 hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.

²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.

¹¹ Jesus is ‘the stone which, scorned by you the builders, has yet become the corner stone.’

¹² And salvation is in him alone; for there is no other name in the whole world, given to people, to which we must look for our salvation.”

¹³ When the Council saw how boldly Peter and John spoke, and found that they were uneducated men of humble station, they were surprised, and realised that they had been companions of Jesus.

¹⁴ But, when they looked at the man who had been healed, standing there with them, they had nothing to say.

¹⁵ So they ordered them out of court, and then began consulting together.

¹⁶ “What are we to do to these men?” they asked one another. “That a remarkable sign has been given through them is obvious to everyone living in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷ But, to prevent this thing from spreading further amongst the people, let us warn them not to speak in this name any more to anyone whatever.”

¹⁸ So they called the apostles in, and ordered them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John replied, “Whether it is right, in the sight of God, to listen to you rather than to him —

²⁰ judge for yourselves, for we cannot help speaking of what we have seen and heard.”

¹¹ Jesus is ‘the stone which, scorned by you the builders, has yet become the corner stone.’

¹² And salvation is in him alone; for there is no other name in the whole world, given to people, to which we must look for our salvation.”

¹³ When the Council saw how boldly Peter and John spoke, and found that they were uneducated men of humble station, they were surprised, and realized that they had been companions of Jesus.

¹⁴ But, when they looked at the man who had been healed, standing there with them, they had nothing to say.

¹⁵ So they ordered them out of court, and then began consulting together.

¹⁶ “What are we to do to these men?” they asked one another. “That a remarkable sign has been given through them is obvious to everyone living in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷ But, to prevent this thing from spreading further among the people, let us warn them not to speak in this name any more to anyone whatever.”

¹⁸ So they called the apostles in, and ordered them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John replied, “Whether it is right, in the sight of God, to listen to you rather than to him —

²⁰ judge for yourselves, for we cannot help speaking of what we have seen and heard.”

¹¹ You know, a long time ago one of God’s men told a picture story about you boss mob, and about Jesus. He wrote this in God’s book, ‘You boss builders reckoned that a stone was rubbish, so you threw it away. But now that stone is the most important one of all.’

¹² You see, Jesus is the only one that can save people. God didn’t send anyone else to save us. Jesus is the only one in the world that has power to save people.”

¹³ The leaders knew that Peter and John were ordinary men that never went to bible school, but they were not frightened to talk back to those bosses. So those leaders were shocked. Then they remembered that Peter and John were friends of Jesus, and often listened to him.

¹⁴ And those leaders saw the man that used to be crippled. He stood right there next to Peter and John. So those leaders couldn’t say anything bad about Peter and John.

¹⁵ So they told Peter and John to go out of the meeting, and then they talked to each other.

¹⁶ They said, “It’s hard for us to punish those 2 men. Everyone in Jerusalem knows they did that powerful thing, they made that crippled man better. We can’t say that it isn’t true.

¹⁷ But we have to stop people talking about it. So we will tell those 2 men not to talk to anyone about Jesus again, and if they do we will make trouble for those 2 men.”

¹⁸ So those leaders called Peter and John back to the meeting. They told them, “Don’t you talk to any other people about Jesus. Don’t you teach anyone about him.”

¹⁹ But Peter and John said to those leaders, “Do you think that God wants us to listen to you? Or do you think he wants us to listen to him, and do the things he says? What do you reckon? We know he wants us to do whatever he says,

²⁰ and we can’t stop now. We have to talk about the things that we have seen and heard.”

¹¹ This is the stone cast a syde of you bylders which is set in the chefe place of the corner.

¹² Nether is ther salvacion in eny other. Nor yet also is ther eny other name geven to men wherin we must be saved.

¹³ When they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn and vnderstode that they were vnlerned men and laye people they marveyled and they knew them that they were with Iesu:

¹⁴ and beholdinge also the man which was healed stondinge with the they coulde not saye agaynst it.

¹⁵ But they commaunded them to go a syde out of the counsell and counceled amonge them selves

¹⁶ sayinge: what shall we do to these men? For a manifest signe is done by the and is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Ierusalem and we cannot denye it.

¹⁷ But that it be noysed no farther amonge the people let us threaten and charge them that they speake hence forth to no man in this name.

¹⁸ And they called them and commaunded them that in no wyse they shuld speake or teache in the name of Iesu.

¹⁹ But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them and sayde: whether it be right in the syght of God to obeye you moare then God iudge ye.

²⁰ For we cannot but speake that which we have sene and hearde.

¹¹ Jesus Christ is the stone which you as builders despised but which has been made the head cornerstone.

¹² There is no salvation in any other person, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and realized that they were ordinary, uneducated men, they were surprised, becoming aware that Peter and John had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Because they saw the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against this.

¹⁵ But after they had commanded the apostles to leave the council meeting, they talked among themselves.

¹⁶ They said, “What shall we do to these men? For the fact that a remarkable miracle has been done through them is known to everyone who lives in Jerusalem; we cannot deny it.

¹⁷ But in order that it spreads no further among the people, let us warn them not to speak anymore to anyone in this name.”

¹⁸ They called Peter and John in and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach 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 obey you rather than him, you judge.

²⁰ We are not able to stop speaking about the things we have seen and heard.”

¹¹ He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

¹² There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

¹⁷ But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

¹⁸ They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

²⁰ for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

¹¹ He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

¹² There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given amongst men, by which we must be saved!”

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled. They recognised that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred amongst themselves,

¹⁸ They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

²⁰ for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

¹¹ This is the stone which was set at naught by you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

¹² Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved.

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ And beholding the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to withdraw from the council, they conferred among themselves,

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 .

¹⁷ But that it may spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach 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 hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.

²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

¹¹ He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

¹² There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and Yochanan, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Yeshua.

¹⁴ Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

¹⁶ saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

¹⁷ But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

¹⁸ They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Yeshua.

¹⁹ But Peter and Yochanan answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

²⁰ for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

¹¹ He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

¹⁸ They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Yeshua.

¹⁹ But Peter and Yochanan answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

²⁰ for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

¹¹ This is the stone, which was reproved of you building, which is made into the head of the corner;

¹² and health is not in any other. For neither other name under heaven is given to men, in which it behooveth us to be made safe.

¹³ And they saw the steadfastness of Peter and of John, and when it was found that they were men unlettered or without letters, and lay men, they wondered, and they knew them that they were with Jesus.

¹⁴ And they saw the man that was healed, standing with them, and they might nothing gainsay.

¹⁵ But they commanded them to go forth without the council. And they spake together,

¹⁶ and said, What shall we do to these men? for the sign is made known by them to all men, that dwell at Jerusalem; it is open, and we may not deny.

¹⁷ But that it be no more published into the people, menace we to them, that they speak no more in this name to any man.

¹⁸ And they called them, and announced to them, that on no manner they should speak, neither teach, in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered, and said to them, If it be rightful in the sight of God to hear you rather than God, deem ye.

²⁰ For we must needs speak those things, that we have seen and heard. Forsooth we may not not speak the things that we have seen and heard.

¹¹ This is the stone, which was reproved of (or rejected by) you (when) building, which is made into the head of the corner;

¹² and health is not in any other. For neither (any) other name under heaven is given to men, in which it behooveth us to be made safe. (and salvation, or deliverance, is not by any other. For no other name under heaven is given to men, by which it behooveth us to be saved.)

¹³ And they saw the steadfastness of Peter and of John, and when it was found that they were men unlettered or without letters, and lay men, they wondered, and they knew them that they were with Jesus.

¹⁴ And they saw the man that was healed, standing with them, and they might nothing gainsay (them), (or and they could not say anything against them).

¹⁵ But they commanded them to go forth without the council (or And they ordered them to go outside the Council chamber). And they spake together,

¹⁶ and said, What shall we do to these men? for the sign (or this miracle) is made known by them to all men, that dwell at Jerusalem; it is open, and we be not able to deny (it), or and we may not deny (it).

¹⁷ But that it be no more published into the people, menace we to them (or let us threaten them), (so) that they speak no more in this name to any man.

¹⁸ And they called them, and announced (or commanded) to them, that on no manner they should speak, neither teach, in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered, and said to them, If it be rightful in the sight of God to hear you rather than God, deem ye (or ye judge).

²⁰ For we must needs speak those things, that we have seen and heard. Forsooth we may not not speak (about) the things that we have seen and heard.

¹¹ 'This is the stone that was set at nought by you — the builders, that became head of a corner;

¹² and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'

¹³ And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been —

¹⁴ and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against it,

¹⁵ and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another,

¹⁶ saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem is manifest, and we are not able to deny it;

¹⁷ but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.'

¹⁸ And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus,

¹⁹ and Peter and John answering unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;

²⁰ for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'
