Deeds (Act) of Apostles 4:1-17

¹And while they spake to the people, the priests and the magistrates of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,

²and sorrowed, that they taught the people, and told in Jesus the again-rising from death.

³And they laid hands on them, and putted them into ward or into keeping into the morrow; for it was then eventide.

⁴But many of them that had heard the word, believed; and the number of men was made five thousands or five thousand.

⁵And amorrow it was done or Forsooth in the morrow it was done, that the princes of them, and elder men and scribes were gathered in Jerusalem;

⁶and Annas, prince of priests, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and how many ever were of the kind or of the kindred of priests.

⁷And they set them in the middle, and asked, In what virtue, either in what name, have ye done this thing?

⁸Then Peter filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them, Ye princes of the people, and ye elder men, hear ye.

⁹If we today be deemed in the good deed of a sick man, in whom or in which this man is made safe,

¹⁰be 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.

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

¹²and 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.

¹³And 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.

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

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

¹⁶and 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.

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