44_ACT_04_01 And as they spake unto the people , the priests , And the captain of the temple , And the Sadducees , came upon them ,
44_ACT_04_02 being grieved that they taught the people , And preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead .
44_ACT_04_03 And they laid hands on them , And put [ them ] in hold unto the next day : for it was now eventide .
44_ACT_04_04 Howbeit Many of them which heard the word believed ; And the number of the men was about five thousand .
44_ACT_04_05 And it came to pass on the morrow , that their rulers , And elders , And scribes ,
44_ACT_04_06 And Annas the high priest , And Caiaphas , And John , And Alexander , And as Many as were of the kindred of the high priest , were gathered together at Jerusalem .
44_ACT_04_07 And when they had set them in the midst , they asked , by what power , or by what name , have ye done this ?
44_ACT_04_08 Then Peter , filled with the holy Ghost , said unto them , ye rulers of the people , And elders of Israel ,
44_ACT_04_09 if we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man , by what means he Is made whole ;
44_ACT_04_10 be it known unto you all , And to all the people of Israel , that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth , whom ye crucified , whom God raised from the dead , [ even ] by him Doth this man stand here before you whole .
44_ACT_04_11 this Is the stone which was set at nought of you builders , which Is become the head of the corner .
44_ACT_04_12 neither Is there salvation in any other : for there Is none other name under heaven given among men , whereby we must be saved .
44_ACT_04_13 now when they saw the boldness of Peter And John , And perceived that they were unlearned And ignorant men , they marvelled ; And they took knowledge of them , that they had been with Jesus .
44_ACT_04_14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them , they could say nothing against it .
44_ACT_04_15 but when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council , they conferred among themselves ,
44_ACT_04_16 saying , what shall we do to These men ? for that indeed A notable miracle hath been done by them [ Is ] manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem ; And we cannot deny [ it ] .
44_ACT_04_17 but that it spread no further among the people , let us straitly threaten them , that they speak henceforth to no man in this name .
44_ACT_04_18 And they called them , And commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus .
44_ACT_04_19 but Peter And John answered And said unto them , whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God , judge ye .
44_ACT_04_20 for we cannot but speak the things which we have seen And heard .
44_ACT_04_21 So when they had further threatened them , they let them go , finding nothing how they might punish them , because of the people : for all [ men ] glorified God for that which was done .
44_ACT_04_22 for the man was above forty years old , on whom this miracle of healing was showed .
44_ACT_04_23 And being let go , they went to their own company , And reported all that the chief priests And elders had said unto them .
44_ACT_04_24 And when they heard that , they lifted up their voice to God with one accord , And said , LORD , thou [ art ] God , which hast made heaven , And earth , And the sea , And all that in them Is :
44_ACT_04_25 who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said , why did the heathen rage , And the people imagine vain things ?
44_ACT_04_26 the kings of the earth stood up , And the rulers were gathered together against the LORD , And against his Christ .
44_ACT_04_27 for of A truth against thy holy child Jesus , whom thou hast anointed , Both Herod , And Pontius Pilate , with the Gentiles , And the people of Israel , were gathered together ,
44_ACT_04_28 for to do whatsoever thy hand And thy counsel determined before to be done .
44_ACT_04_29 And now , LORD , behold their threatenings : And grant unto thy servants , that with all boldness they may speak thy word ,
44_ACT_04_30 by stretching forth thine hand to heal ; And that signs And wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus .
44_ACT_04_31 And when they had prayed , the place was shaken where they were assembled together ; And they were all filled with the holy Ghost , And they spake the word of God with boldness .
44_ACT_04_32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart And of one soul : neither said any [ of them ] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own ; but they had all things common .
44_ACT_04_33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the LORD Jesus : And great grace was upon them all .
44_ACT_04_34 neither was there any among them that lacked : for as Many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them , And brought the prices of the things that were sold ,
44_ACT_04_35 And laid [ them ] down at the apostles' feet : And distribution was made unto every man according as he had need .
44_ACT_04_36 And Joses , who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas , [ which Is , being interpreted , the son of consolation , ] A Levite , [ And ] of the country of Cyprus ,
44_ACT_04_37 having land , sold [ it ] , And brought the money , And laid [ it ] at the apostles' feet .
