Acts 4:4 (KJV) King James Version

1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
6 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.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
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.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
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.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
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.
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.
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
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.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
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.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
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:
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
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,
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
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.
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.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
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,
35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
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,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

7 And G2532 CONJ when they had set G2476 V-AAP-NPM them G846 P-APM in G1722 PREP the G3588 midst G3319 A-DSN , they asked G4441 V-INI-3P , By G1722 PREP what G4169 I-DSF power G1411 N-DSF , or G2228 PRT by G1722 PREP what G4169 I-DSN name G3686 N-DSN , have ye G5210 P-2NP done G4160 V-AAI-2P this G5124 D-ASN ?
8 Then G5119 ADV Peter G4074 N-NSM , filled G4130 V-APP-NSM with the Holy G40 A-GSN Ghost G4151 N-GSN , said G2036 V-2AAI-3S unto G4314 PREP them G846 P-APM , Ye rulers G758 N-VPM of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM people G2992 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ elders G4245 A-VPM of Israel G2474 N-PRI ,

11 This G3778 D-NSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S the G3588 T-NSM stone G3037 N-NSM which was set at naught G1848 V-APP-NSM of G5259 PREP you G3588 T-GPM builders G3618 V-PAP-GPM , which is become G1096 V-2ADP-NSM the G1519 PREP head G2776 N-ASF of the corner G1137 N-GSF .
12 Neither G2532 CONJ is G2076 V-PXI-3S there salvation G4991 N-NSF in G1722 PREP any G3762 A-DSM other G243 A-DSM : for G1063 CONJ there is G2076 V-PXI-3S none G3777 CONJ other G2087 A-NSN name G3686 N-NSN under G5259 PREP heaven G3772 N-ASM given G1325 V-RPP-NSN among G1722 PREP men G444 N-DPM , whereby G1722 PREP we G2248 P-1AP must G1163 V-PQI-3S be saved G4982 V-APN .
13 Now G1161 CONJ when they saw G2334 V-PAP-NPM the G3588 T-ASF boldness G3954 N-ASF of Peter G4074 N-GSM and G2532 CONJ John G2491 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ perceived G2638 V-2AMP-NPM that G3754 CONJ they were G1526 V-PXI-3P unlearned G62 A-NPM and G2532 CONJ ignorant G2399 N-NPM men G444 N-NPM , they marveled G2296 V-IAI-3P ; and G5037 PRT they took knowledge G1921 V-IAI-3P of them G846 P-APM , that G3754 CONJ they had been G2258 V-IXI-3P with G4862 PREP Jesus G2424 N-DSM .

17 But G235 CONJ that G2443 CONJ it spread G1268 V-APS-3S no G3361 PRT-N further G4119 A-ASN-C among G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASM people G2992 N-ASM , let us straitly threaten G546 V-AMI-1P them G846 P-DPM , that they speak G2980 V-PAN henceforth G3371 ADV to no G3367 A-DSM man G444 N-GPM in G1909 PREP this G3588 T-DSN name G3686 N-DSN .

19 But G1161 CONJ Peter G4074 N-NSM and G2532 CONJ John G2491 N-NSM answered G611 V-AOP-NPM and said G2036 V-2AAI-3P unto G4314 PREP them G846 P-APM , Whether G1487 COND it be G2076 V-PXI-3S right G1342 A-NSN in the G3588 T-GSM sight G1799 ADV of God G2316 N-GSM to hearken G191 V-PAN unto you G5216 P-2GP more G3123 ADV than G2228 PRT unto God G2316 N-GSM , judge G2919 V-AAM-2P ye .

21 So G1161 CONJ when they G3588 T-NPM had further threatened G4324 V-AMP-NPM them , they let them go G630 V-AAI-3P , finding G2147 V-PAP-NPM nothing G3367 A-ASN how G4459 ADV-I they might punish G2849 V-FMI-3P them G846 P-APM , because G1223 PREP of G3588 T-ASM the G3588 T-ASM people G2992 N-ASM : for G3754 CONJ all G3956 A-NPM men glorified G1392 V-IAI-3P God G2316 N-ASM for G3588 T-DSN that which was done G1096 V-2RAP-DSN .

23 And G1161 CONJ being let go G630 V-APP-NPM , they went G2064 V-2AAI-3P to G4314 PREP their own company G2398 A-APM , and G2532 CONJ reported G518 V-AAI-3P all that G3745 K-APN the G3588 T-NPM chief priests G749 N-NPM and G2532 CONJ elders G4245 A-NPM had said G2036 V-2AAI-3P unto G4314 PREP them G846 P-APM .
24 And G1161 CONJ when they G3588 T-NPM heard G191 V-AAP-NPM that , they lifted up G142 V-AAI-3P their voice G5456 N-ASF to G4314 PREP God G2316 N-ASM with one accord G3661 ADV , and G2532 CONJ said G2036 V-2AAI-3P , Lord G1203 N-VSM , thou G4771 P-2NS art God G2316 N-NSM , which G3588 T-ASM hast made G4160 V-AAP-NSM heaven G3772 N-ASM , and G2532 CONJ earth G1093 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-ASF sea G2281 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ all G3956 A-APN that G3588 T-APN in G1722 PREP them G846 P-DPN is :

26 The G3588 T-NPM kings G935 N-NPM of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF earth G1093 N-GSF stood up G3936 V-AAI-3P , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NPM rulers G758 N-NPM were gathered G4863 V-API-3P together G1909 PREP against G2596 PREP the G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ against G2596 PREP his G3588 T-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM .
