¹But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

KJVBut^G1161 a certain^G5100 man^G435 named^G3686 Ananias^G367, with^G4862 Sapphira^G4551 his^G846 wife^G1135, sold^G4453^(G5656) a possession^G2933,

² and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

KJVAnd^G2532 kept back^G3557^(G5668) part of^G575 the price^G5092, his^G846 wife^G1135 also^G2532 being privy^G4894^(G5761) to it, and^G2532 brought^G5342^(G5660) a certain^G5100 part^G3313, and laid^G5087^(G5656) it at^G3844 the apostles^G652' feet^G4228.

³ But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?

KJVBut^G1161 Peter^G4074 said^G2036^(G5627), Ananias^G367, why^G1302 hath Satan^G4567 filled^G4137^(G5656) thine^G4675 heart^G2588^G4571 to lie^G5574^(G5664) to the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, and^G2532 to keep back^G3557^(G5670) part of^G575 the price^G5092 of the land^G5564?

⁴ While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

KJVWhiles it remained^G3306^(G5723), was it not^G3780 thine own^G4671^G3306^(G5707)? and^G2532 after it was sold^G4097^(G5685), was it not^G5225^(G5707) in^G1722 thine own^G4674 power^G1849? why^G5101^G3754 hast thou conceived^G5087^(G5639) this^G5124 thing^G4229 in^G1722 thine^G4675 heart^G2588? thou hast^G5574 not^G3756 lied^G5574^(G5662) unto men^G444, but^G235 unto God^G2316.

⁵ Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

KJVAnd^G1161 Ananias^G367 hearing^G191^(G5723) these^G5128 words^G3056 fell down^G4098^(G5631), and gave up the ghost^G1634^(G5656): and^G2532 great^G3173 fear^G5401 came^G1096^(G5633) on^G1909 all^G3956 them that heard^G191^(G5723) these things^G5023.

⁶ The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

KJVAnd^G1161 the young men^G3501 arose^G450^(G5631), wound^G4958 him^G846 up^G4958^(G5656), and^G2532 carried him out^G1627^(G5660), and buried^G2290^(G5656) him.

⁷ About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

KJVAnd^G1161 it was^G1096^(G5633) about^G5613 the space^G1292 of three^G5140 hours^G5610 after^G1292, when^G2532 his^G846 wife^G1135, not^G3361 knowing^G1492^(G5761) what was done^G1096^(G5756), came in^G1525^(G5627).

⁸ Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Peter^G4074 answered^G611^(G5662) unto her^G846, Tell^G2036^(G5628) me^G3427 whether^G1487 ye sold^G591^(G5639) the land^G5564 for so much^G5118? And^G1161 she said^G2036^(G5627), Yea^G3483, for so much^G5118.

⁹ But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

KJVThen^G1161 Peter^G4074 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 her^G846, How^G5101 is it that^G3754 ye^G5213 have agreed together^G4856^(G5681) to tempt^G3985^(G5658) the Spirit^G4151 of the Lord^G2962? behold^G2400^(G5628), the feet^G4228 of them which have buried^G2290^(G5660) thy^G4675 husband^G435 are at^G1909 the door^G2374, and^G2532 shall carry^G1627 thee^G4571 out^G1627^(G5692).

¹⁰ She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

KJVThen^G1161 fell she down^G4098^(G5627) straightway^G3916 at^G3844 his^G846 feet^G4228, and^G2532 yielded up the ghost^G1634^(G5656): and^G1161 the young men^G3495 came in^G1525^(G5631), and found^G2147^(G5627) her^G846 dead^G3498, and^G2532, carrying her forth^G1627^(G5660), buried^G2290^(G5656) her by^G4314 her^G846 husband^G435.

¹¹ Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

KJVAnd^G2532 great^G3173 fear^G5401 came^G1096^(G5633) upon^G1909 all^G3650 the church^G1577, and^G2532 upon^G1909 as many as^G3956 heard^G191^(G5723) these things^G5023.

¹² By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

KJVAnd^G1161 by^G1223 the hands^G5495 of the apostles^G652 were^G1096 many^G4183 signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059 wrought^G1096^(G5633)^(G5625)^G1096^(G5711) among^G1722 the people^G2992;(and^G2532 they were^G2258^(G5713) all^G537 with one accord^G3661 in^G1722 Solomon's^G4672 porch^G4745.

¹³ None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.

KJVAnd^G1161 of the rest^G3062 durst^G5111^(G5707) no man^G3762 join himself^G2853^(G5745) to them^G846: but^G235 the people^G2992 magnified^G3170^(G5707) them^G846.

¹⁴ More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

KJVAnd^G1161 believers^G4100^(G5723) were^G4369 the more^G3123 added^G4369^(G5712) to the Lord^G2962, multitudes^G4128 both^G5037 of men^G435 and^G2532 women^G1135.)

¹⁵ They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

KJVInsomuch^G5620 that they brought forth^G1627^(G5721) the sick^G772 into^G2596 the streets^G4113, and^G2532 laid^G5087^(G5721) them on^G1909 beds^G2825 and^G2532 couches^G2895, that^G2443 at the least^G2579 the shadow^G4639 of Peter^G4074 passing by^G2064^(G5740) might overshadow^G1982^(G5661) some^G5100 of them^G846.

¹⁶ The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

KJV^G1161 There came^G4905^(G5711) also^G2532 a multitude^G4128 out of the cities^G4172 round about^G4038 unto^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, bringing^G5342^(G5723) sick^G772 folks, and^G2532 them which were vexed^G3791^(G5746) with^G5259 unclean^G169 spirits^G4151: and they^G3748 were healed^G2323^(G5712) every one^G537.

¹⁷ But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy

KJVThen^G1161 the high priest^G749 rose up^G450^(G5631), and^G2532 all they^G3956 that were with^G4862 him^G846,(which^G3588 is^G5607^(G5752) the sect^G139 of the Sadducees^G4523,) and were filled^G4130^(G5681) with indignation^G2205,

¹⁸ and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.

KJVAnd^G2532 laid^G1911^(G5627) their^G846 hands^G5495 on^G1909 the apostles^G652, and^G2532 put^G5087^(G5639) them^G846 in^G1722 the common^G1219 prison^G5084.

¹⁹ But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,

KJVBut^G1161 the angel^G32 of the Lord^G2962 by^G1223 night^G3571 opened^G455^(G5656) the prison^G5438 doors^G2374, and^G5037 brought^G1806 them^G846 forth^G1806^(G5631), and said^G2036^(G5627),

²⁰ “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”

KJVGo^G4198^(G5737), stand^G2476^(G5685) and^G2532 speak^G2980^(G5720) in^G1722 the temple^G2411 to the people^G2992 all^G3956 the words^G4487 of this^G5026 life^G2222.

²¹ When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they heard^G191^(G5660) that, they entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the temple^G2411 early in the morning^G5259^G3722, and^G2532 taught^G1321^(G5707). But^G1161 the high priest^G749 came^G3854^(G5637), and^G2532 they that were with^G4862 him^G846, and called^G4779 the council^G4892 together^G4779^(G5656), and^G2532 all^G3956 the senate^G1087 of the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474, and^G2532 sent^G649^(G5656) to^G1519 the prison^G1201 to have^G71 them^G846 brought^G71^(G5683).

²² But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

KJVBut^G1161 when the officers^G5257 came^G3854^(G5637), and found^G2147^(G5627) them^G846 not^G3756 in^G1722 the prison^G5438, they returned^G390^(G5660), and^G1161 told^G518^(G5656),

²³ “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 The prison^G1201 truly^G3303 found we^G2147^(G5627) shut^G2808^(G5772) with^G1722 all^G3956 safety^G803, and^G2532 the keepers^G5441 standing^G2476^(G5761) without^G1854 before^G4253 the doors^G2374: but^G1161 when we had opened^G455^(G5660), we found^G2147^(G5627) no man^G3762 within^G2080.

²⁴ Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.

KJVNow^G1161 when^G5613^G5037 the high priest^G2409 and^G2532 the captain^G4755 of the temple^G2411 and^G2532 the chief priests^G749 heard^G191^(G5656) these^G5128 things^G3056, they doubted^G1280^(G5707) of^G4012 them^G846 whereunto^G5101^G302 this^G5124 would grow^G1096^(G5636).

²⁵ One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”

KJVThen came^G3854^(G5637) one^G5100 and^G1161 told^G518^(G5656) them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 Behold^G2400^(G5628), the men^G435 whom^G3739 ye put^G5087^(G5639) in^G1722 prison^G5438 are^G1526^(G5748) standing^G2476^(G5761) in^G1722 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 teaching^G1321^(G5723) the people^G2992.

²⁶ Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

KJVThen^G5119 went^G565^(G5631) the captain^G4755 with^G4862 the officers^G5257, and brought^G71^(G5627) them^G846 without^G3756^G3326 violence^G970: for^G1063 they feared^G5399^(G5711) the people^G2992, lest^G3363 they should have been stoned^G3034^(G5686).

²⁷ When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

KJVAnd^G1161 when they had brought^G71^(G5631) them^G846, they set^G2476^(G5627) them before^G1722 the council^G4892: and^G2532 the high priest^G749 asked^G1905^(G5656) them^G846,

²⁸ saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Did^G3853 not^G3756 we straitly^G3852 command^G3853^(G5656) you^G5213 that ye should^G1321 not^G3361 teach^G1321^(G5721) in^G1909 this^G5129 name^G3686? and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), ye have filled^G4137^(G5758) Jerusalem^G2419 with your^G5216 doctrine^G1322, and^G2532 intend^G1014^(G5736) to bring^G1863^(G5629) this^G5127 man's^G444 blood^G129 upon^G1909 us^G2248.

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

KJVThen^G1161 Peter^G4074 and^G2532 the other apostles^G652 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), We ought^G1163^(G5748) to obey^G3980^(G5721) God^G2316 rather^G3123 than^G2228 men^G444.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

KJVThe God^G2316 of our^G2257 fathers^G3962 raised up^G1453^(G5656) Jesus^G2424, whom^G3739 ye^G5210 slew^G1315^(G5668) and hanged^G2910^(G5660) on^G1909 a tree^G3586.

³¹ God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

KJVHim^G5126 hath God^G2316 exalted^G5312^(G5656) with his^G846 right hand^G1188 to be a Prince^G747 and^G2532 a Saviour^G4990, for to give^G1325^(G5629) repentance^G3341 to Israel^G2474, and^G2532 forgiveness^G859 of sins^G266.

³² We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

KJVAnd^G2532 we^G2249 are^G2070^(G5748) his^G846 witnesses^G3144 of these^G5130 things^G4487; and^G2532 so is also^G1161 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, whom^G3739 God^G2316 hath given^G1325^(G5656) to them that obey^G3980^(G5723) him^G846.

³³ But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

KJVWhen^G1161 they heard^G191^(G5660) that, they were cut^G1282^(G5712) to the heart, and^G2532 took counsel^G1011^(G5711) to slay^G337^(G5629) them^G846.

³⁴ But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

KJVThen^G1161 stood there up^G450^(G5631) one^G5100 in^G1722 the council^G4892, a Pharisee^G5330, named^G3686 Gamaliel^G1059, a doctor of the law^G3547, had in reputation^G5093 among all^G3956 the people^G2992, and commanded^G2753^(G5656) to put^G4160^(G5658) the apostles^G652 forth^G1854 a^G5100 little space^G1024;

³⁵ He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

KJVAnd^G5037 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Ye men^G435 of Israel^G2475, take heed^G4337^(G5720) to yourselves^G1438 what^G5101 ye intend^G3195^(G5719) to do^G4238^(G5721) as touching^G1909 these^G5125 men^G444.

³⁶ For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.

KJVFor^G1063 before^G4253 these^G5130 days^G2250 rose up^G450^(G5627) Theudas^G2333, boasting^G3004^(G5723) himself^G1438 to be^G1511^(G5750) somebody^G5100; to whom^G3739 a number^G706 of men^G435, about^G5616 four hundred^G5071, joined themselves^G4347^(G5681): who^G3739 was slain^G337^(G5681); and^G2532 all^G3956, as many as^G3745 obeyed^G3982^(G5712) him^G846, were scattered^G1262^(G5681), and^G2532 brought^G1096^(G5633) to^G1519 nought^G3762.

³⁷ After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

KJVAfter^G3326 this man^G5126 rose up^G450^(G5627) Judas^G2455 of Galilee^G1057 in^G1722 the days^G2250 of the taxing^G582, and^G2532 drew away^G868^(G5656) much^G2425 people^G2992 after^G3694 him^G846: he also^G2548 perished^G622^(G5639); and^G2532 all^G3956, even as many as^G3745 obeyed^G3982^(G5712) him^G846, were dispersed^G1287^(G5681).

³⁸ Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3569 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Refrain^G868^(G5628) from^G575 these^G5130 men^G444, and^G2532 let^G1439 them^G846 alone^G1439^(G5657): for^G3754 if^G1437 this^G3778 counsel^G1012 or^G2228 this^G5124 work^G2041 be^G5600^(G5753) of^G1537 men^G444, it will come to nought^G2647^(G5701):

³⁹ But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 it be^G2076^(G5748) of^G1537 God^G2316, ye cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) overthrow^G2647^(G5658) it^G846; lest haply^G3379 ye be found^G2147^(G5686) even^G2532 to fight against God^G2314.

⁴⁰ They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

KJVAnd^G1161 to him^G846 they agreed^G3982^(G5681): and^G2532 when they had called^G4341^(G5666) the apostles^G652, and beaten^G1194^(G5660) them, they commanded^G3853^(G5656) that they should^G2980 not^G3361 speak^G2980^(G5721) in^G1909 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 let^G630 them^G846 go^G630^(G5656).

⁴¹ They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

KJVAnd^G3767 they departed^G4198^(G5711)^G3303 from^G575 the presence^G4383 of the council^G4892, rejoicing^G5463^(G5723) that^G3754 they were counted worthy^G2661^(G5681) to suffer shame^G818^(G5683) for^G5228 his^G846 name^G3686.

⁴² Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

KJVAnd^G5037 daily^G2250^G3956 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 in every^G2596 house^G3624, they ceased^G3973^(G5710) not^G3756 to teach^G1321^(G5723) and^G2532 preach^G2097^(G5734) Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

WEB·Acts 4

¹As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

KJVAnd^G1161 as they^G846 spake^G2980^(G5723) unto^G4314 the people^G2992, the priests^G2409, and^G2532 the captain^G4755 of the temple^G2411, and^G2532 the Sadducees^G4523, came upon^G2186^(G5627) them^G846,

² being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

KJVBeing grieved^G1278^(G5740) that^G1223 they^G846 taught^G1321^(G5721) the people^G2992, and^G2532 preached^G2605^(G5721) through^G1722 Jesus^G2424 the resurrection^G386 from^G1537 the dead^G3498.

³ They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

KJVAnd^G2532 they laid^G1911^(G5627) hands^G5495 on them^G846, and^G2532 put^G5087^(G5639) them in^G1519 hold^G5084 unto^G1519 the next day^G839: for^G1063 it was^G2258^(G5713) now^G2235 eventide^G2073.

⁴ But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

KJVHowbeit^G1161 many^G4183 of them which heard^G191^(G5660) the word^G3056 believed^G4100^(G5656); and^G2532 the number^G706 of the men^G435 was^G1096^(G5675) about^G5616 five^G4002 thousand^G5505.

⁵ In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633) on^G1909 the morrow^G839, that their^G846 rulers^G758, and^G2532 elders^G4245, and^G2532 scribes^G1122,

⁶ Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

KJVAnd^G2532 Annas^G452 the high priest^G749, and^G2532 Caiaphas^G2533, and^G2532 John^G2491, and^G2532 Alexander^G223, and^G2532 as many as^G3745 were^G2258^(G5713) of^G1537 the kindred^G1085 of the high priest^G748, were gathered together^G4863^(G5683) at^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419.

⁷ When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had set^G2476^(G5660) them^G846 in^G1722 the midst^G3319, they asked^G4441^(G5711), By^G1722 what^G4169 power^G1411, or^G2228 by^G1722 what^G4169 name^G3686, have^G4160 ye^G5210 done^G4160^(G5656) this^G5124?

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,

KJVThen^G5119 Peter^G4074, filled^G4130^(G5685) with the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Ye rulers^G758 of the people^G2992, and^G2532 elders^G4245 of Israel^G2474,

⁹ if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

KJVIf^G1487 we^G2249 this day^G4594 be examined^G350^(G5743) of^G1909 the good deed done^G2108 to the impotent^G772 man^G444, by^G1722 what means^G5101 he^G3778 is made whole^G4982^(G5769);

¹⁰ may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.

KJVBe it^G2077^(G5749) known^G1110 unto you^G5213 all^G3956, and^G2532 to all^G3956 the people^G2992 of Israel^G2474, that^G3754 by^G1722 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 of Nazareth^G3480, whom^G3739 ye^G5210 crucified^G4717^(G5656), whom^G3739 God^G2316 raised^G1453^(G5656) from^G1537 the dead^G3498, even by^G1722 him^G5129 doth^G3936 this man^G3778 stand here^G3936^(G5758) before^G1799 you^G5216 whole^G5199.

¹¹ He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

KJVThis^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the stone^G3037 which^G3588 was set at nought^G1848^(G5685) of^G5259 you^G5216 builders^G3618^(G5723), which^G3588 is become^G1096^(G5637) the head^G2776 of^G1519 the corner^G1137.

¹² There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

KJVNeither^G2532^G3756 is there^G2076^(G5748) salvation^G4991 in^G1722 any^G3762 other^G243: for^G1063 there is^G2076^(G5748) none^G3777 other^G2087 name^G3686 under^G5259 heaven^G3772 given^G1325^(G5772) among^G1722 men^G444, whereby^G1722^G3739 we^G2248 must^G1163^(G5748) be saved^G4982^(G5683).

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

KJVNow^G1161 when they saw^G2334^(G5723) the boldness^G3954 of Peter^G4074 and^G2532 John^G2491, and^G2532 perceived^G2638^(G5642) that^G3754 they were^G1526^(G5748) unlearned^G62 and^G2532 ignorant^G2399 men^G444, they marvelled^G2296^(G5707); and^G5037 they took knowledge^G1921^(G5707) of them^G846, that^G3754 they had been^G2258^(G5713) with^G4862 Jesus^G2424.

¹⁴ Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

KJVAnd^G1161 beholding^G991^(G5723) the man^G444 which was healed^G2323^(G5772) standing^G2476^(G5761) with^G4862 them^G846, they could^G2192^(G5707) say^G471 nothing^G3762 against it^G471^(G5629).

¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

KJVBut^G1161 when they had commanded^G2753^(G5660) them^G846 to go aside^G565^(G5629) out of^G1854 the council^G4892, they conferred^G4820^(G5627) among^G4314 themselves^G240,

¹⁶ saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), What^G5101 shall we do^G4160^(G5692) to these^G5125 men^G444? for^G1063 that^G3754 indeed^G3303 a notable^G1110 miracle^G4592 hath been done^G1096^(G5754) by^G1223 them^G846 is manifest^G5318 to all them^G3956 that dwell^G2730^(G5723) in Jerusalem^G2419; and^G2532 we cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) deny^G720^(G5664) it.

¹⁷ But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

KJVBut^G235 that^G3363 it spread^G1268^(G5686) no^G3363 further^G1909^G4119 among^G1519 the people^G2992, let us straitly^G547 threaten^G546^(G5672) them^G846, that they speak^G2980^(G5721) henceforth^G3371 to no^G3367 man^G444 in^G1909 this^G5129 name^G3686.

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

KJVAnd^G2532 they called^G2564^(G5660) them^G846, and commanded^G3853^(G5656) them^G846 not^G3361 to speak^G5350^(G5738) at all^G2527 nor^G3366 teach^G1321^(G5721) in^G1909 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

KJVBut^G1161 Peter^G4074 and^G2532 John^G2491 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Whether^G1487 it be^G2076^(G5748) right^G1342 in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316 to hearken^G191^(G5721) unto you^G5216 more than^G3123^G2228 unto God^G2316, judge ye^G2919^(G5657).

²⁰ for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

KJVFor^G1063 we^G2249 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) but^G3361 speak^G2980^(G5721) the things which^G3739 we have seen^G1492^(G5627) and^G2532 heard^G191^(G5656).

²¹ When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

KJVSo^G1161 when they had further threatened them^G4324^(G5671), they let^G630 them^G846 go^G630^(G5656), finding^G2147^(G5723) nothing^G3367 how^G4459 they might punish^G2849^(G5672) them^G846, because^G1223 of the people^G2992: for^G3754 all^G3956 men glorified^G1392^(G5707) God^G2316 for^G1909 that which was done^G1096^(G5756).

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

KJVFor^G1063 the man^G444 was^G2258^(G5713) above^G4119 forty^G5062 years old^G2094, on^G1909 whom^G3739 this^G5124 miracle^G4592 of healing^G2392 was shewed^G1096^(G5715).

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

KJVAnd^G1161 being let go^G630^(G5685), they went^G2064^(G5627) to^G4314 their own company^G2398, and^G2532 reported^G518^(G5656) all^G3745 that the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 elders^G4245 had said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846.

²⁴ When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

KJVAnd^G1161 when they heard that^G191^(G5660), they lifted up^G142^(G5656) their voice^G5456 to^G4314 God^G2316 with one accord^G3661, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Lord^G1203, thou^G4771 art God^G2316, which^G3588 hast made^G4160^(G5660) heaven^G3772, and^G2532 earth^G1093, and^G2532 the sea^G2281, and^G2532 all^G3956 that in^G1722 them is^G846:

²⁵ who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

KJVWho^G3588 by^G1223 the mouth^G4750 of thy^G4675 servant^G3816 David^G1138 hast said^G2036^(G5631), Why^G2444 did^G5433 the heathen^G1484 rage^G5433^(G5656), and^G2532 the people^G2992 imagine^G3191^(G5656) vain things^G2756?

²⁶ The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’

KJVThe kings^G935 of the earth^G1093 stood up^G3936^(G5656), and^G2532 the rulers^G758 were gathered^G4863^(G5681) together^G1909^G846 against^G2596 the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 against^G2596 his^G846 Christ^G5547.

²⁷ “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,

KJVFor^G1063 of^G1909 a truth^G225 against^G1909 thy^G4675 holy^G40 child^G3816 Jesus^G2424, whom^G3739 thou hast anointed^G5548^(G5656), both^G5037 Herod^G2264, and^G2532 Pontius^G4194 Pilate^G4091, with^G4862 the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 the people^G2992 of Israel^G2474, were gathered together^G4863^(G5681),

²⁸ to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.

KJVFor to do^G4160^(G5658) whatsoever^G3745 thy^G4675 hand^G5495 and^G2532 thy^G4675 counsel^G1012 determined before^G4309^(G5656) to be done^G1096^(G5635).

²⁹ Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3569, Lord^G2962, behold^G1896^(G5628)^G1909 their^G846 threatenings^G547: and^G2532 grant unto^G1325^(G5628) thy^G4675 servants^G1401, that with^G3326 all^G3956 boldness^G3954 they may speak^G2980^(G5721) thy^G4675 word^G3056,

³⁰ while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”

KJVBy^G1722^G4571 stretching forth^G1614^(G5721) thine^G4675 hand^G5495 to^G1519 heal^G2392; and^G2532 that signs^G4592 and^G2532 wonders^G5059 may be done^G1096^(G5738) by^G1223 the name^G3686 of thy^G4675 holy^G40 child^G3816 Jesus^G2424.

³¹ When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they^G846 had prayed^G1189^(G5679), the place^G5117 was shaken^G4531^(G5681) where^G1722^G3739 they were^G2258^(G5713) assembled together^G4863^(G5772); and^G2532 they were^G4130 all^G537 filled^G4130^(G5681) with the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, and^G2532 they spake^G2980^(G5707) the word^G3056 of God^G2316 with^G3326 boldness^G3954.

³² The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

KJVAnd^G1161 the multitude^G4128 of them that believed^G4100^(G5660) were^G2258^(G5713) of one heart^G2588 and^G2532 of one^G3391 soul^G5590: neither^G2532^G3761 said^G3004^(G5707) any^G1520 of them that ought^G5100 of the things which he^G846 possessed^G5224^(G5723) was^G1511^(G5750) his own^G2398; but^G235 they^G846 had^G2258^(G5713) all things^G537 common^G2839.

³³ With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

KJVAnd^G2532 with great^G3173 power^G1411 gave^G591^(G5707) the apostles^G652 witness^G3142 of the resurrection^G386 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424: and^G5037 great^G3173 grace^G5485 was^G2258^(G5713) upon^G1909 them^G846 all^G3956.

³⁴ For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

KJVNeither^G3761^G1063 was^G5225^(G5707) there any^G5100 among^G1722 them^G846 that lacked^G1729: for^G1063 as many as^G3745 were^G5225^(G5707) possessors^G2935 of lands^G5564 or^G2228 houses^G3614 sold them^G4453^(G5723), and brought^G5342^(G5707) the prices^G5092 of the things that were sold^G4097^(G5746),

³⁵ and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

KJVAnd^G2532 laid them down^G5087^(G5707) at^G3844 the apostles^G652' feet^G4228: and^G1161 distribution was made^G1239^(G5712) unto every man^G1538 according^G2530 as^G302 he had^G2192^(G5707) need^G5100^G5532.

³⁶ Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

KJVAnd^G1161 Joses^G2500, who^G3588 by^G5259 the apostles^G652 was surnamed^G1941^(G5685) Barnabas^G921,(which^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748), being interpreted^G3177^(G5746), The son^G5207 of consolation^G3874,) a Levite^G3019, and of the country^G1085 of Cyprus^G2953,

³⁷ having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

KJVHaving^G5225^(G5723)^G846 land^G68, sold^G4453^(G5660) it, and brought^G5342^(G5656) the money^G5536, and^G2532 laid^G5087^(G5656) it at^G3844 the apostles^G652' feet^G4228.
