Acts - Chapter: 4


4:1	And as they spake vnto the people, the Priests and the captaine of the Temple, and the Sadduces came vpon them,
4:2	Being grieued that they taught the people, and preached through Iesus the resurrection from the dead.
4:3	And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold vnto the next day: for it was now euentide.
4:4	Howbeit, many of them which heard the word, beleeued, and the number of the men was about fiue thousand.
4:5	And it came to passe on the morow, that their rulers, and Elders, and Scribes,
4:6	And Annas the high Priest, and Caiphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kinred of the high Priest, were gathered together at Hierusalem.
4:7	And when they had set them in the middest, they asked, By what power, or by what name haue ye done this?
4:8	Then Peter filled with the holy Ghost, said vnto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel,
4:9	If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what meanes he is made whole,
4:10	Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whome God raised from the dead, euen by him, doeth this man stand here before you, whole.
4:11	This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
4:12	Neither is there saluation in any other: for there is none other name vnder heauen giuen among men whereby we must be saued.
4:13	Now when they sawe the boldnesse of Peter and Iohn, and perceiued that they were vnlearned and ignorant men, they marueiled, and they tooke knowledge of them, that they had bene with Iesus.
4:14	And beholding the man which was healed, standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
4:15	But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the Council, they conferred among themselues,
4:16	Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath bene done by them, is manifest to all them that dwell in Hierusalem, and we cannot denie it.
4:17	But that it spread no farther among the people, let vs straitly threaten them, that they speake henceforth to no man in this Name.
4:18	And they called them, and commanded them, not to speake at all, nor teach in the Name of Iesus.
4:19	But Peter and Iohn answered, and said vnto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to hearken vnto you more then vnto God, iudge ye.
4:20	For wee cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.
4:21	So when they had further threatned them, they let them goe, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
4:22	For the man was aboue fourtie yeeres olde, on whome this miracle of healing was shewed.
4:23	And being let goe, they went to their owne company, and reported all that the chiefe Priests and Elders had said vnto them.
4:24	And when they heard that, they lift vp their voyce to God with one accord, & said, Lord, thou art God which hast made heauen and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is,
4:25	Who by the mouth of thy seruant Dauid hast saide, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vaine things?
4:26	The Kings of the earth stood vp, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, & against his Christ.
4:27	For of a trueth against thy holy child Iesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were gathered together,
4:28	For to doe whatsoeuer thy hand and thy counsell determined before to be done.
4:29	And now Lord, behold their threatnings, and graunt vnto thy seruants, that with all boldnesse they may speake thy word,
4:30	By stretching foorth thine hand to heale: and that signes and wonders may be done by the Name of thy holy child Iesus.
4:31	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 boldnesse.
4:32	And the multitude of them that beleeued, were of one heart, and of one soule: Neither said any of them, that ought of the things which he possessed, was his owne, but they had all things common.
4:33	And with great power gaue the Apostles witnesse of the resurrection of the Lord Iesus, and great grace was vpon them all.
4:34	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 solde,
4:35	And laide them downe at the Apostles feete: And distribution was made vnto euery man according as hee had neede.
4:36	And Ioses, who by the Apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, The sonne of consolation) a Leuite, and of the Countrey of Cyprus,
4:37	Hauing land, sold it, and brought the money, & laid it at the Apostles feet.


4:1	But as they spake to ye people, there came vnto the the prestes and the rulers of the teple, and the Saduces,
4:2	who it greued yt they taught the people, & preached in Iesu ye resurreccion fro the deed
4:3	and they layed handes vpon them, and put the in holde tyll the morow: for it was now euentyde.
4:4	Howbeit many of the which herde the worde, beleued, and the nombre of ye men was aboute fyue thousande.
4:5	And it chaunced on ye morow, that their rulers and Elders and scrybes
4:6	(as Annas ye hye prest and Caiphas, and Ihon & Alexander, and as many as were of the hye prestes kynred) gathered them selues together at Ierusalem,
4:7	and set them before them, and axed them: By what auctorite, Or in what name haue ye done this?
4:8	Peter full of the holy goost, sayde vnto them: Ye rulers of the people, and ye Elders of Israel,
4:9	Yf we this daye be examyned concernynge this good dede vpon the sicke ma, by what meanes he is made whole,
4:10	be it knowne then vnto you and to all the people of Israel, that in ye name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, who God hath raysed vp from the deed, stodeth this man here before you whole.
4:11	This is the stone refused of you buylders, which is become the heade corner stone,
4:12	nether is there saluacion in eny other: Ner yet also is there geue vnto me eny other name, wherin we must be saued.
4:13	They sawe the boldnesse of Peter & Ihon and marueyled, for they were sure yt they were vnlerned men and laye people. And they knewe the also, that they were wt Iesu.
4:14	As for the man yt was made whole, they sawe hi stodinge by the, & coulde not saye agaynst it.
4:15	Then comaunded they the to stode asyde out of ye councell, & comened amoge the selues,
4:16	& saide: What shal we do to these me? for a manyfest token is done by them, and is openly knowne vnto the that dwell at Ierusalem, and we can not denye it.
4:17	But that it breake out no farther amoge the people, let vs threate them earnestly, that hence forth they speake of this name vnto noman.
4:18	And they called them, and comaunded the, that in eny wyse they shulde not speake ner teache in the name of Iesu.
4:19	But Peter & Ihon answered, and sayde vnto the: Iudge ye youre selues, whether it be right before God, that we shulde be more obedient vnto you, then vnto God.
4:20	We can not chose, but speake that we haue sene & herde.
4:21	But they threatened them, and let them go, and founde nothinge how to punyshe them because of ye people: for they all praysed God because of that, which was done.
4:22	For the man, vpon whom this token of health was done, was aboue fourtye yeare olde.
4:23	And whan they were let go, they came to their folowes, and tolde them what ye hye prestes and Elders sayde vnto them.
4:24	Wha they herde that, they lifte vp their voyce wt one acorde vnto God, and sayde: LORDE, thou that art the God which made heauen and earth, and the see, and all that therin is thou
4:25	that by the mouth of Dauid thy seruaut hast sayde: Why do the Heythe rage? and ye people ymagin vayne thinges?
4:26	The kynges of the earth stonde vp, and the prynces haue gathered them selues together agaynst ye LORDE, and agaynst his. Christ.
4:27	Of a trueth agaynst thy holy childe Iesus, whom thou hast anoynted, both Herode & Pontius Pilate with the Heythen and people of Israel, haue gathered the selues together,
4:28	to do what soeuer thy hande and thy councell determyned before to be done.
4:29	And now LORDE, beholde their threatenynges, and graunte vnto thy seruauntes with all stedfast boldnesse to speake thy worde:
4:30	and stretch out thine hande, that healinge and tokes and wonders maye be done by the name of thy holy childe Iesus.
4:31	And wha they had prayed, the place moued where they were gathered together, & they were all fylled with ye holy goost, & spake the worde of God boldly.
4:32	The multitude of them that beleued, were of one hert and of one soule. Also none of them sayde of his goodes, that they were his awne, but had all thinges comen.
4:33	And with greate power gaue the Apostles witnesse of the resurreccion of the LORDE Iesu, and greate grace was with them all.
4:34	Nether was there eny amonge them that lacked. For as many as were possessers of londes or houses, solde the and brought ye money of the goodes that were solde,
4:35	and layed it at the Apostles fete. And distribucion was made vnto euery ma, acordinge as he had nede.
4:36	Ioses which was also called of ye Apostles, Barnabas (that is to saye, the sonne of consolacion) a Leuite, of the countre of Cypers,
4:37	had londe, and solde it, & brought the money, and layed it at the Apostles fete.


4:1	And while thei spaken to the puple, the preestis and magistratis of the temple, and the Saduceis camen vpon hem, and soreweden,
4:2	that thei tauyten the puple, and telden in Jhesu the ayenrisyng fro deth.
4:3	And thei leiden hondis on hem, and puttiden hem in to warde in to the morewe; for it was thanne euentid.
4:4	But manye of hem that hadden herd the word, bileueden; and the noumbre of men was maad fyue thousyndis.
4:5	And amorewe it was don, that the princis of hem, and eldre men and scribis weren gadirid in Jerusalem;
4:6	and Annas, prince of preestis, and Caifas, and Joon, and Alisaundre, and hou manye euere weren of the kynde of preestis.
4:7	And thei settiden hem in the myddil, and axiden, In what vertue, ether in what name, han ye don this thing?
4:8	Thanne Petre was fillid with the Hooli Goost, and seide to hem, Ye pryncis of the puple, and ye eldre men, here ye.
4:9	If we to dai be demyd in the good dede of a sijk man, in whom this man is maad saaf,
4:10	be it knowun to you alle, and to al the puple of Israel, that in the name of Jhesu Crist of Nazareth, whom ye crucifieden, whom God reiside fro deth, in this this man stondith hool bifor you.
4:11	This is the stoon, which was repreued of you bildinge, which is maad in to the heed of the corner;
4:12	and heelthe is not in ony othir. For nether other name vndur heuene is youun to men, in which it bihoueth vs to be maad saaf.
4:13	And thei siyen the stidfastnesse of Petre and of Joon, for it was foundun that thei weren men vnlettrid, and lewid men, and thei wondriden, and knewen hem that thei weren with Jhesu.
4:14	And thei siyen the man that was helid, stondinge with hem, and thei myyten no thing ayenseie.
4:15	But thei comaundiden hem to go forth with out the counsel. And thei spaken togidere,
4:16	and seiden, What schulen we do to these men? for the signe is maad knowun bi hem to alle men, that dwellen at Jerusalem; it is opyn, and we moun not denye.
4:17	But that it be no more pupplischid in to the puple, manasse we to hem, that thei speke no more in this name to ony men.
4:18	And thei clepiden hem, and denounsiden to hem, that on no maner thei schulden speke, nether teche, in the name of Jhesu.
4:19	But Petre and Joon answeriden, and seiden to hem, If it be riytful in the siyt of God to here you rather than God, deme ye.
4:20	For we moten nedis speke tho thingis, that we han sayn and herd.
4:21	And thei manassiden, and leften hem, and foundun not hou thei schulden punische hem, for the puple; for alle men clarifieden that thing that was don in that that was bifalle.
4:22	For the man was more than of fourty yeer, in which this signe of heelthe was maad.
4:23	And whanne thei weren delyuerid, thei camen to her felowis, and telden to hem, hou grete thingis the princis of preestis and the eldre men hadden seid to hem.
4:24	And whanne thei herden, with oon herte thei reiseden vois to the Lord, and seiden, Lord, thou that madist heuene and erthe, see, and alle thingis that ben in hem, which seidist bi the Hooli Goost,
4:25	bi the mouth of oure fadir Dauid, thi child, Whi hethen men gnastiden with teeth togidre, and the puplis thouyten veyn thingis?
4:26	Kyngis of the erthe stoden nyy, and princis camen togidre `in to oon, ayens the Lord, and ayens his Crist.
4:27	For verili Eroude and Pounce Pilat, with hethene men, and puplis of Israel, camen togidre in this citee ayens thin hooli child Jhesu,
4:28	whom thou anoyntidist, to do the thingis, that thin hoond and thi counsel demyden to be don.
4:29	And now, Lord, biholde in to the thretnyngis of hem, and graunte to thi seruauntis to speke thi word with al trist,
4:30	in that thing that thou holde forth thin hond, that heelthis and signes and wondris be maad bi the name of thin hooli sone Jhesu.
4:31	And whanne thei hadden preyed, the place was moued, in which thei weren gaderid; and alle weren fillid with the Hooli Goost, and spaken the word of God with trist.
4:32	And of al the multitude of men bileuynge was oon herte and oon wille; nether ony man seide ony thingis of tho thingis that he weldide to be his owne, but alle thingis weren comyn to hem.
4:33	And with greet vertu the apostlis yeldiden witnessyng of the ayenrysyng of Jhesu Crist oure Lord, and greet grace was in alle hem.
4:34	For nether ony nedi man was among hem, for how manye euere weren possessouris of feeldis, ether of housis, thei seelden, and brouyten the pricis of tho thingis that thei seelden,
4:35	and leiden bifor the feet of the apostlis. And it was departid to ech, as it was nede to ech.
4:36	Forsothe Joseph, that was named Barsabas of apostlis, that is to seie, the sone of coumfort, of the lynage of Leuy,
