⁵And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem; ⁶and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.

⁷And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?

⁸Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,

⁸Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

⁹if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole; ¹⁰be it known unto 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 the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole.

¹¹He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.

¹¹This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

¹²And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.

¹²Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

¹³Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁵But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, ¹⁶saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

¹⁷But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

¹⁸And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁸And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁹But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye: ²⁰for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.

¹⁹But 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.

²¹And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.

²²For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.

²³And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them.

²⁴And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is: ²⁵who by the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things?

²⁶The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed: ²⁷for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, ²⁸to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.

²⁶The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

²⁸For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

²⁹And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness, ³⁰while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus.

²⁹And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

³⁴For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, ³⁵and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.
