Acts 4:8-22 in American Standard Version (1901)

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,
9 if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;
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.
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.
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.
22 For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
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.
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.

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.
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.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.

ACTS 4 in Revised Version with Apocrypha (1895)

Acts 4:8-22 in Translation for Translators

8 So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You fellow Israelites who rule us and all of you other elders, listen!
9 Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
10 So we(exc) want you and all of our other fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah MTY from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. God considers that it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
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.”
21 Then the Jewish leaders again told Peter and John not to disobey them. But all the people there were praising God about what had happened to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than forty years old and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, they finally let them go.

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,

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!”

Acts 4 in World English Bible British Edition with Deuterocanon

Acts 4:8-22 in Bible in Basic English

8 Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority,
9 If we are questioned today about a good work done to a man who was ill, as to how he has been made well,
10 Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well.
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.
21 And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place.
22 For the man on whom this act of power was done was more than forty years old.

Acts 4:8-22 in Darby Translation

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9 if we this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed done to the infirm man, how he has been healed,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom ye have crucified, whom God has raised from among the dead, by him this man stands here before you sound in body.
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.
21 But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place;
22 for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old.

Acts 4:8-22 in Douay-Rheims 1899

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people, and ancients, hear:
9 If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole:
10 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole.
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.
21 But they threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass.
22 For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought.
Acts 4 in Douay-Rheims 1899

Acts 4:8-22 in English Majority Text Version

8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
9 If we today are being judged for a good work to a weak man, by what means he has been made well,
10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this name this man stands here before you whole.
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.”
21 So having threatened them further, they released them, finding no way of punishing them, on account of the people, because they all were glorifying God over that which had occurred.
22 For the man was over forty, on whom had come about this sign of healing.

Acts 4:8-22 in The New Testament with Commentary

8 Then Peter, full of Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
9 If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Natsorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
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.”
21 So threatening them some more they released them, not finding any way to punish them, because of the people, since they were all glorifying God over what had happened;
22 because the man on whom this miracle of healing had been performed was over forty years old.
Acts 4 in The New Testament with Commentary

Acts 4:8-22 in Free Bible Version

8 Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered them. “Rulers of the people, and elders:
9 Are we being interrogated regarding a good deed done to a man who couldn't help himself, and how he came to be healed?
10 If so, all of you should know, and all the people of Israel, that it was in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the one you killed on a cross and whom God raised from the dead—it's because of him that this man stands before you completely healed.
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!”
21 After making more threats they let them go. They couldn't work out how to punish them because everyone was glorifying God for what had happened.
22 For the man who received this miracle of healing was more than forty years old.

8 Then Peter ful of the holy Ghost, said vnto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel,
9 For as much as we this day are examined of the good deede done to the impotent man, to wit, by what meanes he is made whole,
10 Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye haue crucified, whome God raised againe from the dead, euen by him doth this man stand here before you, whole.
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.
21 So they threatened them, and let them goe, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.
22 For the man was aboue fourtie yeeres olde, on whome this miracle of healing was shewed.

10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,—by him doth this man stand here before you sound.
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.
21 So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.
Acts 4 in George Noyes Bible

Acts 4:8-22 in Open English Bible (Commonwealth Spelling)

8 Then, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, “Leaders of the people and elders,
9 since we are on our trial today for a kind act done to a helpless man, and are asked in what way the man here before you has been cured,
10 let me tell you all and all the people of Israel, that it is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead — it is, I say, by his name that this man stands here before you lame no longer.
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.”
21 However, after further warnings, the Council set them at liberty, not seeing any safe way of punishing them, because of the people, for they were all praising God for what had occurred;
22 for the man who was the subject of this miraculous cure was more than forty years old.

Acts 4 in Open English Bible (U. S. spelling)

Acts 4:8-22 in Plain English Version

8 The Holy Spirit was in Peter and told him what to say. He said, “Listen, all you leaders and bosses.
9 You are asking us now about the good thing we did for this crippled man. You are asking us about the way we made him better.
10 We used the power of Jesus Christ to make this man better. We want you, and all our Israel countrymen, to know about Jesus, the man from Nazareth. You nailed him to a cross and killed him, but God made him alive again.
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.”
21 The leaders couldn’t think of any way to punish Peter and John. They knew that all the people were saying that God made that man better, so God is really great and really good. That man was more than 40 years old. So those bosses again told Peter and John, “Don’t you talk about Jesus any more or we’ll give you big trouble.” Then they let them go free.

Acts 4:8-22 in Tyndale New Testament

8 Then Peter full of the holy goost sayd vnto them: ye rulars of the people and elders of Israel
9 yf we this daye are examined of the good dede done to the sycke man by what meanes he is made whoale:
10 be 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.
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.
21 So 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:
22 for the man was above fourty yeare olde on whom this myracle of healinge was shewed.

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people, and elders,
9 if we this day are being questioned concerning a good deed done to a sick man, by what means was this man made well?
10 May this be known to you all and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands here before you healthy.
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.”
21 After further warning Peter and John, they let them go. They were unable to find any excuse to punish them, because all of the people were praising God for what had been done.
22 The man who had experienced this miracle of healing was more than forty years old.

10 Be it known to 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 sound.

Deeds (Act) of Apostles 4:8-22 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

8 Then Peter filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them, Ye princes of the people, and ye elder men, hear ye.
9 If we today be deemed in the good deed of a sick man, in whom or in which this man is made safe,
10 be it known to 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 death, in this or in him this man standeth whole before you.
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.
21 And they menaced them, and let them go, and found not how they should punish them, for the people; for all men clarified that thing that was done in that that was befallen.
22 For the man was more than forty years old, in whom this sign of healing or of health was made.

Deeds (Act) of Apostles 4:8-22 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling (Enhanced)

8 Then Peter filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them, Ye princes of the people, and ye elder men, hear ye. (Then Peter filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Ye high priests of the people, and ye elders, listen.)
9 If we today be deemed in the good deed of a sick man, in whom or in which this man is made safe, (If today we be judged for this good deed for a sick man, by which this man is saved,)
10 be it known to 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 death or whom God raised from (the) dead, in this (man) or in him, this man standeth whole before you.
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.
21 And they menaced them, and left them, and found not how they should punish them, for the people; for all men clarified (God, for) that thing that was done in that that was befallen. (And they threatened them, and then let them go, for they could not find any way to punish them, because of the people; for all the people glorified God, for what was done in all that befell.)
22 For the man was more than forty years old, in whom this sign of healing or this sign of health was made. (For the man was more than forty years old, in whom this miracle of a cure was done.)

Acts 4:8-22 in Young's Literal Translation

8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,
10 be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.
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.'
21 And they having further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,
22 for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.
