彼得約翰在公議會受審

使徒們正對群眾講話的時候,祭司、聖殿的守衛長,和撒都該人來到他們那裡。 因為使徒教訓群眾,並且傳揚耶穌從死人中復活,他們就非常惱怒, 於是下手拿住使徒。那時天已經晚了,就把他們拘留到第二天。 然而有許多聽道的人信了,男人的數目,約有五千。

第二天,猶太人的官長、長老、經學家,都聚集在耶路撒冷, 還有大祭司亞那和該亞法、約翰、亞歷山大,以及大祭司的家人,所有的人都在那裡。 他們叫使徒都站在當中,查問說:“你們憑甚麼能力,奉誰的名作這事?” 當時彼得被聖靈充滿,對他們說:“民眾的領袖和長老啊! 我們今天受審,如果是為了在那殘疾人身上所行的善事,就是這個人怎麼會好的, 10 那麼,你們各位和以色列全民都應當知道,站在你們面前這人好了,是因拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名。這位耶穌基督,你們把他釘死在十字架上, 神卻使他從死人中復活。 11 這耶穌是你們

‘建築工人所棄的石頭,

成了房角的主要石頭。’

12 除了他以外,別無拯救,因為在天下人間,沒有賜下別的名,我們可以靠著得救。”

13 他們看見彼得和約翰的膽量,也知道這兩個人是沒有學問的平民,就很驚奇;同時認出他們是跟耶穌一夥的, 14 又看見那醫好了的人,和他們一同站著,就沒有話可辯駁。 15 於是吩咐他們到公議會外面去,彼此商議, 16 說:“對這些人我們應該怎麼辦呢?因為有一件人所共知的神蹟,藉著他們行了出來,所有住在耶路撒冷的人都知道,我們也無法否認。 17 為了避免這件事在民間越傳越廣,我們應該警告他們,不許再奉這名向任何人談道。” 18 於是叫了他們來,嚴禁他們再奉耶穌的名講論教導。 19 彼得和約翰回答:“聽從你們過於聽從 神,在 神面前對不對,你們自己說吧! 20 我們看見的聽見的,不能不說!” 21 眾人因著所發生的事,都頌讚 神,於是公議會為了群眾的緣故,也因為找不到藉口懲罰他們,就恐嚇一番,把他們放了。 22 原來藉著神蹟醫好的那人,有四十多歲了。

信徒同心祈禱

23 彼得和約翰被釋放了之後,回到自己的人那裡去,把祭司長和長老說的一切,都告訴他們。 24 他們聽了,就同心向 神高聲說:“主啊,你是那創造天地、海洋和其中萬物的主宰。 25 你曾以聖靈藉著你僕人我們祖先大衛的口說:

‘列國為甚麼騷動?

萬民為甚麼空謀妄想?

26 地上的君王都起來,

首領聚在一起,

敵對主和他的受膏者。’

27 希律和本丟.彼拉多,外族人和以色列民,真的在這城裡聚集,反對你所膏立的聖僕耶穌, 28 行了你手和你旨意所預定要成就的一切。 29 主啊,他們恐嚇我們,現在求你鑒察,也賜你僕人們大有膽量,傳講你的道。 30 求你伸手醫治,藉著你聖僕耶穌的名,大行神蹟奇事。” 31 他們禱告完了,聚會的地方震動起來,他們都被聖靈充滿,放膽傳講 神的道。

信徒凡物公用

32 全體信徒一心一意,沒有一個人說自己的財物是自己的,他們凡物公用。 33 使徒大有能力,為主耶穌的復活作見證,眾人都蒙了大恩。 34 他們中間沒有一個有缺乏的,因為凡有田產房屋的都賣了,把得到的錢拿來, 35 放在使徒腳前,照著各人的需要來分配。 36 有一個人名叫約瑟,使徒稱他為巴拿巴,就是“安慰者”的意思,他是個利未人,生在塞浦路斯。 37 他賣掉了自己的田地,把錢拿來,放在使徒的腳前。

彼得约翰在公议会受审

使徒们正对群众讲话的时候,祭司、圣殿的守卫长,和撒都该人来到他们那里。 因为使徒教训群众,并且传扬耶稣从死人中复活,他们就非常恼怒, 于是下手拿住使徒。那时天已经晚了,就把他们拘留到第二天。 然而有许多听道的人信了,男人的数目,约有五千。

第二天,犹太人的官长、长老、经学家,都聚集在耶路撒冷, 还有大祭司亚那和该亚法、约翰、亚历山大,以及大祭司的家人,所有的人都在那里。 他们叫使徒都站在当中,查问说:“你们凭甚么能力,奉谁的名作这事?” 当时彼得被圣灵充满,对他们说:“民众的领袖和长老啊! 我们今天受审,如果是为了在那残疾人身上所行的善事,就是这个人怎么会好的, 10 那么,你们各位和以色列全民都应当知道,站在你们面前这人好了,是因拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名。这位耶稣基督,你们把他钉死在十字架上, 神却使他从死人中复活。 11 这耶稣是你们

‘建筑工人所弃的石头,

成了房角的主要石头。’

12 除了他以外,别无拯救,因为在天下人间,没有赐下别的名,我们可以靠着得救。”

13 他们看见彼得和约翰的胆量,也知道这两个人是没有学问的平民,就很惊奇;同时认出他们是跟耶稣一伙的, 14 又看见那医好了的人,和他们一同站着,就没有话可辩驳。 15 于是吩咐他们到公议会外面去,彼此商议, 16 说:“对这些人我们应该怎么办呢?因为有一件人所共知的神迹,借着他们行了出来,所有住在耶路撒冷的人都知道,我们也无法否认。 17 为了避免这件事在民间越传越广,我们应该警告他们,不许再奉这名向任何人谈道。” 18 于是叫了他们来,严禁他们再奉耶稣的名讲论教导。 19 彼得和约翰回答:“听从你们过于听从 神,在 神面前对不对,你们自己说吧! 20 我们看见的听见的,不能不说!” 21 众人因着所发生的事,都颂赞 神,于是公议会为了群众的缘故,也因为找不到借口惩罚他们,就恐吓一番,把他们放了。 22 原来借着神迹医好的那人,有四十多岁了。

信徒同心祈祷

23 彼得和约翰被释放了之后,回到自己的人那里去,把祭司长和长老说的一切,都告诉他们。 24 他们听了,就同心向 神高声说:“主啊,你是那创造天地、海洋和其中万物的主宰。 25 你曾以圣灵借着你仆人我们祖先大卫的口说:

‘列国为甚么骚动?

万民为甚么空谋妄想?

26 地上的君王都起来,

首领聚在一起,

敌对主和他的受膏者。’

27 希律和本丢.彼拉多,外族人和以色列民,真的在这城里聚集,反对你所膏立的圣仆耶稣, 28 行了你手和你旨意所预定要成就的一切。 29 主啊,他们恐吓我们,现在求你鉴察,也赐你仆人们大有胆量,传讲你的道。 30 求你伸手医治,借着你圣仆耶稣的名,大行神迹奇事。” 31 他们祷告完了,聚会的地方震动起来,他们都被圣灵充满,放胆传讲 神的道。

信徒凡物公用

32 全体信徒一心一意,没有一个人说自己的财物是自己的,他们凡物公用。 33 使徒大有能力,为主耶稣的复活作见证,众人都蒙了大恩。 34 他们中间没有一个有缺乏的,因为凡有田产房屋的都卖了,把得到的钱拿来, 35 放在使徒脚前,照着各人的需要来分配。 36 有一个人名叫约瑟,使徒称他为巴拿巴,就是“安慰者”的意思,他是个利未人,生在塞浦路斯。 37 他卖掉了自己的田地,把钱拿来,放在使徒的脚前。

Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin

The priests and the captain of the temple guard(A) and the Sadducees(B) came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.(C) They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail(D) until the next day. But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew(E) to about five thousand.

The next day the rulers,(F) the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas,(G) John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,(H) said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!(I) If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame(J) and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,(K) whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead,(L) that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is

“‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.’[a](M)

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”(N)

13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John(O) and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men,(P) they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.(Q) 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin(R) and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?”(S) they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign,(T) and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”

18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.(U) 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him?(V) You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking(W) about what we have seen and heard.”(X)

21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people(Y) were praising God(Z) for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

The Believers Pray

23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God.(AA) “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.(AB) 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:(AC)

“‘Why do the nations rage
    and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
against the Lord
    and against his anointed one.[b][c](AD)

27 Indeed Herod(AE) and Pontius Pilate(AF) met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus,(AG) whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.(AH) 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.(AI) 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders(AJ) through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”(AK)

31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken.(AL) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit(AM) and spoke the word of God(AN) boldly.(AO)

The Believers Share Their Possessions

32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.(AP) 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify(AQ) to the resurrection(AR) of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace(AS) was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them,(AT) brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet,(AU) and it was distributed to anyone who had need.(AV)

36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas(AW) (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.(AX)
