Acts 4:4-27

⁴How be it many of them which hearde the wordes beleved and the noumbre of the men was aboute fyve thousande.

⁵And it chaunsed on the morowe that their rulars and elders and Scribes

⁶as Annas the chefe Prest and Cayphas and Iohn and Alexander and as many as were of the kynred of the hye prestes gadered to geder at Ierusalem

⁷and set the other before them and axed: by what power or what name have ye done this syrs?

⁸Then Peter full of the holy goost sayd vnto them: ye rulars of the people and elders of Israel

⁹yf we this daye are examined of the good dede done to the sycke man by what meanes he is made whoale:

¹⁰be that knowen vnto you all and to the people of Israel that in the name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth whom ye crucified and whom God raysed agayne from deeth: even by him doth this man stonde here present before you whoale.

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

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

¹³When 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:

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

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

¹⁶sayinge: 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.

¹⁷But 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.

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

¹⁹But 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.

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

²¹So threatened they them and let them goo and founde no thinge how to punysshe them because of the people. For all me lauded God for the myracle which was done:

²²for the man was above fourty yeare olde on whom this myracle of healinge was shewed.

²³Assone as they were let goo they came to their felowes and shewed all that the hye prestes and elders had sayde to them.

²⁴And when they hearde that they lyfte vp their voyces to God with one accorde and sayde: Lorde thou arte God which hast made heaven and erth the see and all that in them is

²⁵which by the mouth of thy servaunt David hast sayd: Why dyd the hethen rage and the people immagen vayne thinges.

²⁶The kynges of the erth stode vp and the rulars came to gedder agaynst the Lorde and agaynst his Christ.

²⁷For of a trueth agaynst thy holy chylde Iesus whom thou hast annoynted bothe Herode and also Poncius Pylate with the Gentils and the people of Israel gaddered them selves to gedder
