Dual Panel1While <2980> Peter and John <846> were speaking <2980> to <4314> the people <2992>, the priests <749> and <2532> the commander <4755> of the temple <2411> guard and <2532> the Sadducees <4523> came up <2186> to them <846>,
2angry <1278> because <1223> they <846> were teaching <1321> the people <2992> and <2532> announcing <2605> in <1722> Jesus <2424> the resurrection <386> of <1537> the dead <3498>.
3So <2532> they seized <1911> them <846> and <2532> put <5087> them in <1519> jail <5084> until <1519> the next day <839> (for <1063> it was <1510> already <2235> evening <2073>).
4But <1161> many <4183> of those who had listened <191> to the message <3056> believed <4100>, and <2532> the number <706> of the men <435> came to <1096> about <5613> five <4002> thousand <5505>.
5On <1909> the next day <839>, their <846> rulers <758>, elders <4245>, and <2532> experts in the law <1122> came together <4863> in <1722> Jerusalem <2419>.
6Annas <452> the high priest <749> was there, and <2532> Caiaphas <2533>, John <2491>, Alexander <223>, and <2532> others <3745> who were members <1510> of <1537> the high priest’s <748> family <1085>.
7After making <2476> Peter and John <846> stand <2476> in <1722> their midst <3319>, they began to inquire <4441>, “By <1722> what <4169> power <1411> or <2228> by <1722> what <4169> name <3686> did you do <4160> this <5124>?”
8Then <5119> Peter <4074>, filled <4130> with the Holy <40> Spirit <4151>, replied <2036>, “Rulers <758> of the people <2992> and <2532> elders <4245>,
9if <1487> we <2249> are being examined <350> today <4594> for <1909> a good deed done <2108> to a <444> sick <772> man <444>– by <1722> what <5101> means this man <3778> was healed <4982>–
10let it be <1510> known <1110> to all <3956> of you <5213> and <2532> to all <3956> the people <2992> of Israel <2474> that <3754> by <1722> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> the Nazarene <3480> whom <3739> you <5210> crucified <4717>, whom <3739> God <2316> raised <1453> from <1537> the dead <3498>, this <5129> man <3778> stands <3936> before <1799> you <5216> healthy <5199>.
11This <3778> Jesus is <1510> the stone <3037> that was rejected <1848> by <5259> you <5216>, the builders <3621>, that has become <1096> the cornerstone <2776> <1137>.
12And <2532> there is <1510> salvation <4991> in <1722> no one <3762> else <243>, for <1063> there is <1510> no <3761> other <2087> name <3686> under <5259> heaven <3772> given <1325> among <1722> people <444> by <1722> which <3739> we <2248> must <1163> be saved <4982>.”
13When <2334> they saw <2334> the boldness <3954> of Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491>, and <2532> discovered <2638> that <3754> they were <1510> uneducated <62> and <2532> ordinary <2399> men <444>, they were amazed <2296> and <5037> recognized <1921> these men <846> had been <1510> with <4862> Jesus <2424>.
14And <5037> because they saw <991> the man <444> who had been healed <2323> standing <2476> with <4862> them <846>, they had <2192> nothing <3762> to say against <471> this.
15But <1161> when <2753> they had ordered <2753> them <846> to go <565> outside <1854> the council <4892>, they began <4820> to confer <4820> with <4314> one another <240>,
16saying <3004>, “What <5101> should we do <4160> with these <5125> men <444>? For <1063> it is plain <1110> to all <3956> who live <2730> in Jerusalem <2419> that a notable <5318> miraculous sign <4592> has come about <1096> through <1223> them <846>, and <2532> we cannot <1410> cannot <3756> deny <720> it.
17But <235> to keep this matter from spreading <1268> any further <4119> among <1519> the people <2992>, let us warn <546> them <846> to speak <2980> no more <3367> to anyone <444> in <1909> this <5129> name <3686>.”
18And <2532> they called <2564> them <846> in <2564> and ordered <3853> them not <3361> to speak <5350> or <3366> teach <1321> at all <2527> in <1909> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424>.
19But <1161> Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491> replied <611>, “Whether it is <1510> right <1342> before <1799> God <2316> to obey <191> you <5216> rather <3123> than <2228> God <2316>, you decide <2919>,
20for <1063> it is impossible <1410> impossible <3756> for us <2249> not <3361> to speak <2980> about what <3739> we have seen <3708> and <2532> heard <191>.”
21After threatening <4324> them further <4324>, they released <630> them <846>, for they could <2147> not <3367> find <2147> how <4459> to punish <2849> them <846> on account of <1223> the people <2992>, because <3754> they were <1392> all <3956> praising <1392> God <2316> for <1909> what had happened <1096>.
22For <1063> the man <444>, on <1909> whom <3739> this <5124> miraculous sign <4592> of healing <2392> had been performed <1096>, was <1510> over <4119> forty <5062> years <2094> old.
23When <630> they were released <630>, Peter and John went <2064> to <4314> their fellow believers <2398> and <2532> reported <518> everything <3745> the high priests <749> and <2532> the elders <4245> had said <3004> to <4314> them <846>.
24When <1161> they heard <191> this, they raised <142> their voices <5456> to <4314> God <2316> with one <3661> mind and <2532> said <3004>, “Master <1203> of all, you <4771> who made <4160> the heaven <3772>, the earth <1093>, the sea <2281>, and <2532> everything <3956> that is in <1722> them <846>,
25who said <3004> by the Holy <40> Spirit <4151> through <1223> your <4675> servant <3816> David <1138> our <2257> forefather <3962>, ‘Why <2444> do <5433> the nations <1484> rage <5433>, and <2532> the peoples <2992> plot <3191> foolish things <2756>?
26The kings <935> of the earth <1093> stood together <3936>, and <2532> the rulers <758> assembled together <4863>, against <2596> the Lord <2962> and <2532> against <2596> his <846> Christ <5547>.’
27“For <1063> indeed <225> both <5037> Herod <2264> and <2532> Pontius <4194> Pilate <4091>, with <4862> the Gentiles <1484> and <2532> the people <2992> of Israel <2474>, assembled together <4863> in <1722> this <3778> city <4172> against <1909> your <4675> holy <40> servant <3816> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> you anointed <5548>,
28to do <4160> as much as <3745> your <4675> power <5495> and <2532> your plan <1012> had decided beforehand <4309> would happen <1096>.
29And <2532> now <3568>, Lord <2962>, pay attention <1896> to <1909> their <846> threats <547>, and <2532> grant <1325> to your <4675> servants <1401> to speak <2980> your <4675> message <3056> with <3326> great <3956> courage <3954>,
30while you extend <1614> your <4571> hand <5495> to <1519> heal <2392>, and <2532> to bring about miraculous signs <4592> and <2532> wonders <5059> through <1223> the name <3686> of your <4675> holy <40> servant <3816> Jesus <2424>.”
31When <1189> they <846> had prayed <1189>, the place <5117> where <1722> <3739> they were <1510> assembled together <4863> was shaken <4531>, and <2532> they were <4130> all <537> filled <4130> with the Holy <40> Spirit <4151> and <2532> began to speak <2980> the word <3056> of God <2316> courageously <3326> <3954>.
32The group <4128> of those who believed <4100> were <1510> of one <1520> heart <2588> and <2532> mind <5590>, and <2532> no <3761> one <1520> said <3004> that any of his possessions <5225> was <1510> his own <2398>, but <235> everything <3956> was <1510> held in common <2839>.
33With <1411> great <3173> power <1411> the apostles <652> were giving <591> testimony <3142> to the resurrection <386> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and <5037> great <3173> grace <5485> was <1510> on <1909> them <846> all <3956>.
34For <1063> there was <1510> no one <3761> needy <1729> among <1722> them <846>, because <1063> those who were <5225> owners <2935> of land <5564> or <2228> houses <3614> were selling <4453> them and bringing <5342> the proceeds <5092> from the sales <4097>
35and <2532> placing <5087> them at <3844> the apostles <652>’ feet <4228>. The proceeds were distributed <1239> to each <1538>, as anyone <5100> had <2192> need <5532>.
36So <1161> Joseph <2501>, a Levite <3019> who was a native <1085> of Cyprus <2953>, called <1941> by <575> the apostles <652> Barnabas <921> (which <3739> is <1510> translated <3177> “son <5207> of encouragement <3874>”),
37sold <4453> a field <68> that belonged <5225> to him <846> and brought <5342> the money <5536> and <2532> placed <5087> it at <3844> the apostles <652>’ feet <4228>.
