14 And the multitude of men and of women believing in the Lord was more increased,
15 so that they brought out sick men into (the) streets, and laid (them) in (or on) little beds and couches, (so) that when Peter came, namely the shadow of him should shadow each of them, and they should be delivered from their sicknesses (or and they would be released from their sicknesses). so that into (the) streets they brought out sick men, and put (them) in little beds and couches, (so) that when Peter came, namely the shadow of him should shadow each of them, and they were delivered from all sicknesses.
16 And the multitude(s) of cities nigh to Jerusalem ran, bringing sick men, and (they) that were travailed of unclean spirits (or and those who were troubled by unclean spirits, or demons), which all were healed.
17 But the prince of priests rose up (or But the High Priest rose up), and all that were with him, that is the heresy of (the) Sadducees, and (they) were filled with envy;
18 and they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common ward or in the common keeping. (and they laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the prison.)
19 But the angel of the Lord opened by night the gates of the prison, and led them out, and said, Forsooth the angel of the Lord by night opened the gates of the prison, and leading them out, said,
20 Go ye, and stand ye, and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 Whom when they had heard, they entered early into the temple, and taught. And the prince of priests came (or And the High Priest came), and they that were with him, and called together the council (or the Sanhedrin), and all the elder men of the children of Israel; and sent (men) to the prison, (so) that they should be brought forth.
22 And when the ministers came, and found them not, and for the prison was opened, or Soothly when the ministers came, and, the prison opened, found them not, they turned again and told (them), (But when the servants, or the officers, came, and opened the prison, and did not find them, they returned, and told them,)
23 and said, We found the prison shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing at the gates (or and the guards standing at the gates); but we opened (it), and found no man therein.
24 And as the magistrates of the temple, and the princes of (the) priests heard these words, they doubted of them, what was done. (And when the Temple magistrate, and the high priests, heard these words, they wondered, what had become of them.)
25 But a man came, and told to them, For lo! those men which ye have put into prison, be in the temple, and stand (there), and teach the people.
26 Then the magistrate went with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they dreaded the people, lest they should be stoned. (Then the magistrate went with the servants, or the officers, and brought them in without force; because they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.)
27 And when they had brought them, they set them in the council; and the prince of priests asked them, (And when they had brought them in, they put them before the Council; and the High Priest spoke to them,)
28 and said, In commandment we commanded you, that ye should not teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye will bring on us the blood of this man.
29 And Peter answered, and the apostles, and said, It behooveth (us) to obey to God, more than to men.
30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging in a tree. (The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom ye killed, by hanging him on a tree, or on the cross.)
31 God enhanced with his right hand this prince and Saviour, that penance were given to Israel or for to give penance to Israel, and remission of sins. (With his right hand God exalted, or raised up, this Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness for their sins.)
32 And we be witnesses of these words, and the Holy Ghost (or as is the Holy Spirit), whom God gave to all obeying to him.
33 When they heard these things, they were tormented, and thought to slay them.
34 But a man rose in the council, a Pharisee, Gamaliel by name, a doctor of the law, a worshipful man to all the people, and (he) commanded the men to be put withoutforth for a while. (But a man stood up in the Council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, a man honoured by all the people, and he commanded the men to be put outside for a while.)
35 And he said to them, Ye men of Israel (or Israelites), take attention to yourselves on these men, what ye shall do.
36 For before these days (there was) Theudas, that said himself to be some man, to whom a number of men consented, about four hundred; which was slain, and all that believed to him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this, Judas of Galilee was in the days of profession, and turned away the people after him; and all how many ever consented to him, were scattered, and he perished. (After this, there was Judas of Galilee during the days of professing, or during the census, and he turned away the people after him; but all whomever consented to him, were scattered, after that he perished.)
38 And now therefore I say to you, depart ye from these men, and suffer ye them; for if this counsel either work is of men, it shall be undone; (And so now I say to you, go away from these men, and let them be; for if this plan, or this work, is from men, it shall be destroyed, or it shall be ended;)
39 but if it is of God, ye may not undo them, lest peradventure ye be found to repugn against God. (but if it is from God, ye cannot stop, or destroy, them, lest perhaps ye be found to fight against God.) forsooth if it is of God, ye may not undo them. But suffer ye them, lest peradventure ye be found for to repugn God. (but if it is from God, ye cannot stop them. So let them be, lest perhaps ye be found to be fighting with God.)
40 And they consented to him; and they called together the apostles, and announced (or commanded) to them, (after) that (they) were beaten, that they should no more speak in the name of Jesus, and (then) they let them go.
