Acts 4
4
1And as they spoke unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Tz’dukim (Sadducees) [followers of the right], came upon them,
2Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Yeshua [God is Salvation] the resurrection from the dead.
3And they laid hands on them, and put [them] in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4However many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and Torah-teachers (Scribes),
6And ‘Anan [humble] the High Priest, and Kayafa [depression], and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], and Alexander [one who assists men], and as many as were of the family of the High Priest, were gathered together at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
7And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have you2f done this?
8Then Kefa [pebble], filled with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], said unto them, You2f rulers of the people, and elders of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God],
9If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent (weak; without strength or power) man, by what means he is made whole;
10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God], that by the name of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] of Natzeret [one separated], whom you2f crucified, whom God-The Father raised from the dead, [even] by him does this man stand here before you whole.
11This is the stone which was set at nothing (despised) of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
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 saw the boldness of Kefa [pebble] and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Yeshua [God is Salvation].
14And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
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 has been done by them [is] manifest to all them that dwell in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; and we cannot deny [it].
17But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak from this time forth (from now on) to no man in this name.
18And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Yeshua [God is Salvation].
19But Kefa [pebble] and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God-The Father to hearken unto you more than unto God-The Father, judge you2f.
20For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all [men] glorified God-The Father for that which was done.
22For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed.
23And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God-The Father with one accord, and said, Lord - Kurios, youi [are] God-The Father, which have made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25Who by the mouth of youri slave David [Beloved] have said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord - Kurios, and against his Moshiach [Messiah].
27For of a tagainst youri holy child Yeshua [God is Salvation], whom youi have anointed, both Herod [heroic], and Pontius Pilate [armed with a spear], with the Goyim [Gentiles], and the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God], were gathered together,
28For to do whatsoever youri hand and youri counsel determined before to be done.
29And now, Lord - Kurios, behold their threatenings: and grant unto youri servants, that with all boldness they may speak youri word,
30By stretching forth youri hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of youri holy child Yeshua [God is Salvation].
31And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], and they spoke the word of God-The Father with boldness.
32And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation]: and great grace was upon them all.
34Neither 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 sold,
35And laid [them] down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36And Yosi [may God multiply], who by the apostles was surnamed Bar-Nabba [son of rest], (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levi (Levite) [Joined to], [and] of the country of Cyprus [love: a blossom],
37Having land, sold [it], and brought the money, and laid [it] at the apostles’ feet.
