Acts 4

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

Good News Translation GNT

1 Peter and John were still speaking to the people when some priests, the officer in charge of the Temple guards, and some Sadducees arrived.

2 They were annoyed because the two apostles were teaching the people that Jesus had risen from death, which proved that the dead will rise to life.

3 So they arrested them and put them in jail until the next day, since it was already late.

4 But many who heard the message believed; and the number grew to about five thousand.

5 The next day the Jewish leaders, the elders, and the teachers of the Law gathered in Jerusalem.

6 They met with the High Priest Annas and with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the others who belonged to the High Priest's family.

7 They made the apostles stand before them and asked them, "How did you do this? What power do you have or whose name did you use?"

8 Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, answered them, "Leaders of the people and elders:

9 if we are being questioned today about the good deed done to the lame man and how he was healed,

10 then you should all know, and all the people of Israel should know, that this man stands here before you completely well through the power of the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth - whom you crucified and whom God raised from death.

11 Jesus is the one of whom the scripture says, "The stone that you the builders despised turned out to be the most important of all.'

12 Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us."

13 The members of the Council were amazed to see how bold Peter and John were and to learn that they were ordinary men of no education. They realized then that they had been companions of Jesus.

14 But there was nothing that they could say, because they saw the man who had been healed standing there with Peter and John.

15 So they told them to leave the Council room, and then they started discussing among themselves.

16 "What shall we do with these men?" they asked. "Everyone in Jerusalem knows that this extraordinary miracle has been performed by them, and we cannot deny it.

17 But to keep this matter from spreading any further among the people, let us warn these men never again to speak to anyone in the name of Jesus."

18 So they called them back in and told them that under no condition were they to speak or to teach in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered them, "You yourselves judge which is right in God's sight - to obey you or to obey God.

20 For we cannot stop speaking of what we ourselves have seen and heard."

21 So the Council warned them even more strongly and then set them free. They saw that it was impossible to punish them, because the people were all praising God for what had happened.

22 The man on whom this miracle of healing had been performed was over forty years old.

23 As soon as Peter and John were set free, they returned to their group and told them what the chief priests and the elders had said.

24 When the believers heard it, they all joined together in prayer to God: "Master and Creator of heaven, earth, and sea, and all that is in them!

25 By means of the Holy Spirit you spoke through our ancestor David, your servant, when he said, "Why were the Gentiles furious; why did people make their useless plots?

26 The kings of the earth prepared themselves, and the rulers met together against the Lord and his Messiah.'

27 For indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together in this city with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Jesus, your holy Servant, whom you made Messiah.

28 They gathered to do everything that you by your power and will had already decided would happen.

29 And now, Lord, take notice of the threats they have made, and allow us, your servants, to speak your message with all boldness.

30 Reach out your hand to heal, and grant that wonders and miracles may be performed through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."

31 When they finished praying, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God's message with boldness.

32 The group of believers was one in mind and heart. None of them said that any of their belongings were their own, but they all shared with one another everything they had.

33 With great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God poured rich blessings on them all.

34 There was no one in the group who was in need. Those who owned fields or houses would sell them, bring the money received from the sale,

35 and turn it over to the apostles; and the money was distributed according to the needs of the people.

36 And so it was that Joseph, a Levite born in Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means "One who Encourages"),

37 sold a field he owned, brought the money, and turned it over to the apostles.
