Deeds (Act) of Apostles 4:8-22

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.

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

¹⁹But 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.

²⁰For 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.

²¹And 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.

²²For the man was more than forty years old, in whom this sign of healing or of health was made.
