Acts 4

New Century Version NCV

1 While Peter and John were speaking to the peo- ple, Jewish priests, the captain of the soldiers that guarded the Temple, and Sadducees came up to them.

2 They were upset because the two apostles were teaching the people and were preaching that people will rise from the dead through the power of Jesus.

3 The Jewish leaders grabbed Peter and John and put them in jail. Since it was already night, they kept them in jail until the next day.

4 But many of those who had heard Peter and John preach believed the things they said. There were now about five thousand in the group of believers.

5 The next day the Jewish rulers, the older Jewish leaders, and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.

6 Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander were there, as well as everyone from the high priest's family.

7 They made Peter and John stand before them and then asked them, "By what power or authority did you do this?"

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and you older leaders,

9 are you questioning us about a good thing that was done to a crippled man? Are you asking us who made him well?

10 We want all of you and all the Jewish people to know that this man was made well by the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth. You crucified him, but God raised him from the dead. This man was crippled, but he is now well and able to stand here before you because of the power of Jesus.

11 Jesus is 'the stonen that you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'

12 Jesus is the only One who can save people. His name is the only power in the world that has been given to save people. We must be saved through him."

13 The Jewish leaders saw that Peter and John were not afraid to speak, and they understood that these men had no special training or education. So they were amazed. Then they realized that Peter and John had been with Jesus.

14 Because they saw the healed man standing there beside the two apostles, they could say nothing against them.

15 After the Jewish leaders ordered them to leave the meeting, they began to talk to each other.

16 They said, "What shall we do with these men? Everyone in Jerusalem knows they have done a great miracle, and we cannot say it is not true.

17 But to keep it from spreading among the people, we must warn them not to talk to people anymore using that name."

18 So they called Peter and John in again and told them not to speak or to teach at all in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered them, "You decide what God would want. Should we obey you or God?

20 We cannot keep quiet. We must speak about what we have seen and heard."

21 The Jewish leaders warned the apostles again and let them go free. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had been done.

22 The man who received the miracle of healing was more than forty years old.

23 After Peter and John left the meeting of Jewish leaders, they went to their own group and told them everything the leading priests and the older Jewish leaders had said to them.

24 When the believers heard this, they prayed to God together, "Lord, you are the One who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.

25 By the Holy Spirit, through our father David your servant, you said: 'Why are the nations so angry? Why are the people making useless plans?

26 The kings of the earth prepare to fight, and their leaders make plans together against the Lord and his Christ.'

27 These things really happened when Herod, Pontius Pilate, those who are not Jews, and the Jewish people all came together against Jesus here in Jerusalem. Jesus is your holy servant, the One you made to be the Christ.

28 These people made your plan happen because of your power and your will.

29 And now, Lord, listen to their threats. Lord, help us, your servants, to speak your word without fear.

30 Help us to be brave by showing us your power to heal. Give proofs and make miracles happen by the power of Jesus, your holy servant."

31 After they had prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke God's word without fear.

32 The group of believers were united in their hearts and spirit. All those in the group acted as though their private property belonged to everyone in the group. In fact, they shared everything.

33 With great power the apostles were telling people that the Lord Jesus was truly raised from the dead. And God blessed all the believers very much.

34 No one in the group needed anything. From time to time those who owned fields or houses sold them, brought the money,

35 and gave it to the apostles. Then the money was given to anyone who needed it.

36 One of the believers was named Joseph, a Levite born in Cyprus. The apostles called him Barnabas (which means "one who encourages").

37 Joseph owned a field, sold it, brought the money, and gave it to the apostles.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 loquentibus autem illis ad populum supervenerunt sacerdotes et magistratus templi et Sadducaei

2 dolentes quod docerent populum et adnuntiarent in Iesu resurrectionem ex mortuis

3 et iniecerunt in eis manus et posuerunt eos in custodiam in crastinum erat enim iam vespera

4 multi autem eorum qui audierant verbum crediderunt et factus est numerus virorum quinque milia

5 factum est autem in crastinum ut congregarentur principes eorum et seniores et scribae in Hierusalem

6 et Annas princeps sacerdotum et Caiphas et Iohannes et Alexander et quotquot erant de genere sacerdotali

7 et statuentes eos in medio interrogabant in qua virtute aut in quo nomine fecistis hoc vos

8 tunc Petrus repletus Spiritu Sancto dixit ad eos principes populi et seniores

9 si nos hodie diiudicamur in benefacto hominis infirmi in quo iste salvus factus est

10 notum sit omnibus vobis et omni plebi Israhel quia in nomine Iesu Christi Nazareni quem vos crucifixistis quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis in hoc iste adstat coram vobis sanus

11 hic est lapis qui reprobatus est a vobis aedificantibus qui factus est in caput anguli

12 et non est in alio aliquo salus nec enim nomen aliud est sub caelo datum hominibus in quo oportet nos salvos fieri

13 videntes autem Petri constantiam et Iohannis conperto quod homines essent sine litteris et idiotae admirabantur et cognoscebant eos quoniam cum Iesu fuerant

14 hominem quoque videntes stantem cum eis qui curatus fuerat nihil poterant contradicere

15 iusserunt autem eos foras extra concilium secedere et conferebant ad invicem

16 dicentes quid faciemus hominibus istis quoniam quidem notum signum factum est per eos omnibus habitantibus in Hierusalem manifestum et non possumus negare

17 sed ne amplius divulgetur in populum comminemur eis ne ultra loquantur in nomine hoc ulli hominum

18 et vocantes eos denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur neque docerent in nomine Iesu

19 Petrus vero et Iohannes respondentes dixerunt ad eos si iustum est in conspectu Dei vos potius audire quam Deum iudicate

20 non enim possumus quae vidimus et audivimus non loqui

21 at illi comminantes dimiserunt eos non invenientes quomodo punirent eos propter populum quia omnes clarificabant Deum in eo quod acciderat

22 annorum enim erat amplius quadraginta homo in quo factum erat signum istud sanitatis

23 dimissi autem venerunt ad suos et adnuntiaverunt eis quanta ad eos principes sacerdotum et seniores dixissent

24 qui cum audissent unianimiter levaverunt vocem ad Deum et dixerunt Domine tu qui fecisti caelum et terram et mare et omnia quae in eis sunt

25 qui Spiritu Sancto per os patris nostri David pueri tui dixisti quare fremuerunt gentes et populi meditati sunt inania

26 adstiterunt reges terrae et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum et adversus Christum eius

27 convenerunt enim vere in civitate ista adversus sanctum puerum tuum Iesum quem unxisti Herodes et Pontius Pilatus cum gentibus et populis Israhel

28 facere quae manus tua et consilium decreverunt fieri

29 et nunc Domine respice in minas eorum et da servis tuis cum omni fiducia loqui verbum tuum

30 in eo cum manum tuam extendas sanitates et signa et prodigia fieri per nomen sancti Filii tui Iesu

31 et cum orassent motus est locus in quo erant congregati et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto et loquebantur verbum Dei cum fiducia

32 multitudinis autem credentium erat cor et anima una nec quisquam eorum quae possidebant aliquid suum esse dicebat sed erant illis omnia communia

33 et virtute magna reddebant apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Iesu Christi Domini et gratia magna erat in omnibus illis

34 neque enim quisquam egens erat inter illos quotquot enim possessores agrorum aut domorum erant vendentes adferebant pretia eorum quae vendebant

35 et ponebant ante pedes apostolorum dividebantur autem singulis prout cuique opus erat

36 Ioseph autem qui cognominatus est Barnabas ab apostolis quod est interpretatum Filius consolationis Levites Cyprius genere

37 cum haberet agrum vendidit illum et adtulit pretium et posuit ante pedes apostolorum
