Petar i Ivan pred Vijećem
4 Dok su oni još govorili narodu, priđoše im svećenici i zapovjednik hramski i saduceji, 2 ogorčeni što naučavaju narod i navješćuju u Isusu uskrsnuće od mrtvih. 3 I podigoše na njih ruke te ih baciše u pritvor do sutradan jer već bijaše večer. 4 Mnogi pak od onih koji su slušali Riječ uzvjerovaše, te broj ljudi dođe na oko pet tisuća. 5 Sutradan se u Jeruzalemu sabraše glavari i starješine i pismoznanci, 6 i velesvećenik Ana i Kaifa i Ivan i Aleksandar, i svi ostali koji bijahu iz velesvećeničkog roda. 7 Postaviše ih u sredinu, te ih stadoše ispitivati: »Kojom silom ili u čije ime vi to učiniste?« 8 Tada im Petar, ispunjen Duhom Svetim, reče: »Glavari narodni i starješine! 9 Ako nas danas ispitujete zbog dobročinstva na bolesnu čovjeku, po kome je ovaj spašen, 10 neka vam svima bude znano i svemu narodu Izraelovu: u imenu Isusa Krista Nazarećanina, koga ste vi raspeli, a koga Bog uskrisi od mrtvih; u njemu ovaj stoji pred vama zdrav. 11 On je taj kamen koji ste vi graditelji prezreli, a koji postade glavnim ugaonim kamenom. 12 I ni u jednome drugom nema spasenja, jer pod nebom nema drugog imena danoga ljudima u kojem treba da budemo spašeni.«
13 Kad vidješe Petrovu i Ivanovu smjelost te znajući da su ljudi neobrazovani i priprosti, čudili su se; znali su da oni bijahu s Isusom. 14 Gledajući pak onog iscijeljenog čovjeka gdje stoji s njima, ništa im nisu mogli protusloviti. 15 Pošto im pak zapovjediše da izađu iz vijećnice, stadoše vijećati 16 govoreći: »Što da učinimo s ovim ljudima? Jer to da su učinili poznat znamen očito je svim stanovnicima Jeruzalema, i mi to ne možemo zanijekati. 17 Ali da se to ne bi još više proširilo u narod, zaprijetimo im da više nikomu od ljudi ne govore o ovome imenu.« 18 I pozvavši ih zapovjediše im da nipošto nikomu ne spomenu a kamoli naučavaju u ime Isusovo. 19 A Petar i Ivan im odgovoriše: »Prosudite, je li pravo pred Bogom slušati više vas negoli Boga. 20 Jer mi ne možemo ne govoriti o onome što vidjesmo i čusmo.« 21 Opet im zaprijetivši i ne našavši kako da ih kazne, oni ih zbog naroda pustiše, jer su svi proslavljali Boga zbog onog što se dogodilo. 22 Jer čovjeku na kome se dogodi taj znamen ozdravljenja bijaše više od četrdeset godina.
Zajednička molitva
23 Pošto ih pustiše, pođoše oni k svojima i izvijestiše ih o svemu što su im bili rekli glavari svećenički i starješine. 24 Kad su oni to čuli, jednodušno podigoše glas k Bogu i rekoše:
»Gospodaru, ti si Onaj koji stvori nebo i zemlju
i mora i sve što je u njima,
25 i koji ustima našega oca Davida, sluge svojega, po Duhu Svetome, reče:
'Zašto se pobuniše narodi,
i plemena ispraznosti smisliše?
26 Zemaljski kraljevi ustadoše i vladari se zajedno udružiše protiv Gospodina i protiv Pomazanika njegova.'
27 Jer udružiše se uistinu u ovome gradu protiv svetoga Sluge tvojega Isusa, koga ti pomaza, Herod i Poncije Pilat s narodima i plemenima izraelskim, 28 da učine sve što tvoja ruka i naum tvoj predodrediše da se dogodi. 29 I sada, Gospodine, pogledaj na prijetnje njihove i daj slugama svojim da sa svom smjelošću navješćuju tvoju riječ. 30 Pruži ruku svoju poradi ozdravljenja, da se dogode znamenja i čudesa po imenu svetoga Sluge tvojega Isusa!«
31 I, pošto se pomoliše, zatrese se mjesto na kojemu se bijahu sabrali i svi se ispuniše Duhom Svetim. I navješćivali su riječ Božju sa smjelošću.
Međusobni odnos vjernika
32 A u mnoštva onih što povjerovaše bijaše jedno srce i duša. Nijedan nije za svoje imanje govorio da je njegovo, nego im sve bijaše zajedničko. 33 I apostoli velikom silom davahu svjedočanstvo uskrsnuća Gospodina Isusa. Velika milost bijaše na svima njima. 34 Doista nitko ne bijaše potrebit među njima, jer koji su god bili posjednici njiva ili kuća pa ih prodali, donosili su utržak od prodanoga 35 te stavljali pred noge apostolima, dijeleći svakomu već kako je tko bio u potrebi.
Barnabina darežljivost
36 A Josip, koga su apostoli prozvali Barnaba, što protumačeno znači Sin utjehe, levit, rodom s Cipra, 37 posjedovao je njivu. Prodavši je, donese novac i stavi pred noge apostolima.

Acts 4
New International Version
Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin
4 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. 2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.(C) 3 They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail(D) until the next day. 4 But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew(E) to about five thousand.
5 The next day the rulers,(F) the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas,(G) John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. 7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,(H) said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!(I) 9 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
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)
