Deeds (Act) of Apostles 4:9-37

⁹If 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,)

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 or whom God raised from (the) dead, in this (man) or in him, this man standeth whole before you.

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

¹²and 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.)

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 (them), (or and they could not say anything against them).

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

¹⁶and 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).

¹⁷But 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.

¹⁸And they called them, and announced (or commanded) 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 (or ye judge).

²⁰For 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.

²¹And 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.)

²²For 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.)

²³And when they were delivered, or were left, (or were let go), they came to their fellows, and told to them, how great things or how many things the princes of (the) priests and the elder men had said to them. (And when they were delivered, or released, they came back to their fellows, and told them everything that the high priests and the elders had said to them.)

²⁴And when they heard, with one heart they raised (up their) voice to the Lord, and said, Lord, thou that madest heaven and earth, (the) sea, and all things that be in them,

²⁵which saidest by the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of our father David, thy child, Why heathen men gnashed with (their) teeth together or wrathed, and the peoples thought vain things? (who said by the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, Why did the Gentiles gnash with their teeth together, or be enraged, and the peoples thought empty and futile things?)

²⁶(The) Kings of the earth stood nigh, and (the) princes came together into one, against the Lord, and against his Christ (or and against his Messiah).

²⁷For verily, Herod and Pontius Pilate, with heathen men, and peoples of Israel, came together in this city against thine holy child Jesus, whom thou anointedest, (For truly, Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, came together in this city against thine holy servant Jesus, whom thou anointedest,)

²⁸to do the things, that thine hand and thy counsel (or thy plan or thy purpose) deemed to be done.

²⁹And now, Lord, behold into the threatenings of them, and grant to thy servants to speak thy word with all trust,

³⁰in that thing that thou hold forth thine hand, that healings and signs (or miracles) and wonders be made by (or through) the name of thine holy Son Jesus.

³¹And when they had prayed, the place was moved, in which they were gathered; and all were filled with the Holy Ghost (or and everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit), and spake the word of God with trust.

³²And of the multitude of men believing was (of) one heart and one will; neither any man said (that) anything of those things that he wielded (or he possessed) to be his own, but all things were (held in) common to them.

³³And with great virtue, the apostles yielded witnessing of the again-rising of Jesus Christ our Lord, and great grace was in all (of) them or and great grace was in them all. (And with great power, the apostles testified about the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord, and everyone was richly blessed.)

³⁴For neither any needy man was among them, for how many ever were possessors of fields, either of houses, they sold (them), and brought the prices of those things that they sold (or and brought the payments for those things that they sold),

³⁵and laid (them) before the feet of the apostles. And it was parted to each, as it was need(ful) to each, (or And it was divided unto each, as it was needed by each).

³⁶Forsooth Joseph, that was named Barnabas of the apostles (or who was called Barnabas by the apostles), that is to say (or which is translated), the son of comfort, of the lineage (or of the tribe) of Levi, or a Levite by kin, a man of Cyprus,

³⁷when he had a field, sold it, and brought the price (or and brought the payment for it), and laid it before the feet of the apostles.
