¶ Y hablando ellos al pueblo, sobrevinieron los sacerdotes, y el magistrado del Templo, y los saduceos,

resentidos de que enseñaran al pueblo, y anunciaran en el Nombre de Jesús la resurrección de los muertos.

Y les echaron mano, y los pusieron en la cárcel hasta el día siguiente; porque era ya tarde.

Pero muchos de los que habían oído la palabra, creyeron; y fue el número de los varones como cinco mil.

¶ Y aconteció al día siguiente, que se juntaron en Jerusalén los príncipes de ellos, y los ancianos, y los escribas;

y Anás, príncipe de los sacerdotes, y Caifás, y Juan y Alejandro, y todos los que eran del linaje sacerdotal;

y haciéndolos presentar en medio, les preguntaron: ¿Con qué potestad, o en qué nombre, habéis hecho vosotros esto?

Entonces Pedro, lleno del Espíritu Santo, les dijo: Príncipes del pueblo, y ancianos de Israel:

Pues si somos hoy demandados acerca del beneficio hecho a un hombre enfermo, de qué manera éste haya sido sanado,

10 sea notorio a todos vosotros, y a todo el pueblo de Israel, que en el Nombre de Jesús el Cristo, el Nazareno, el que vosotros Colgasteis en un madero, y Dios le resucitó de los muertos, por él este hombre está en vuestra presencia sano.

11 Este es la piedra reprobada por vosotros los edificadores, la cual es puesta por cabeza del ángulo.

12 Y en ningún otro hay salud; porque no hay otro nombre debajo del cielo, dado a los hombres, en que podamos ser salvos.

13 Entonces viendo la constancia de Pedro y de Juan, y sabiendo que eran hombres sin letras e ignorantes, se maravillaban; y les conocían que habían estado con Jesús.

14 Y viendo al hombre que había sido sanado, que estaba con ellos, no podían decir nada en contra.

15 ¶ Mas les mandaron que salieran fuera del concilio; y conferían entre sí,

16 diciendo: ¿Qué hemos de hacer a estos hombres? Porque de cierto, señal manifiesta ha sido hecha por ellos, notoria a todos los que moran en Jerusalén, y no lo podemos negar.

17 Todavía, para que no se divulgue más por el pueblo, amenacémoslos, que no hablen de aquí en adelante a hombre alguno en este Nombre.

18 Y llamándolos, les intimaron que en ninguna manera hablaran ni enseñaran en el Nombre de Jesús.

19 Entonces Pedro y Juan, respondiendo, les dijeron: Juzgad si es justo delante de Dios obedecer antes a vosotros que a Dios;

20 porque no podemos dejar de decir lo que hemos visto y oído.

21 Ellos entonces los despacharon amenazándolos, no hallando ningún modo de castigarlos, por causa del pueblo; porque todos glorificaban a Dios de lo que había sido hecho.

22 Porque el hombre en quien había sido hecho este milagro de sanidad, era de más de cuarenta años.

23 ¶ Y sueltos, vinieron a los suyos, y contaron todo lo que los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos les habían dicho.

24 Y ellos, habiéndolo oído, alzaron unánimes la voz a Dios, y dijeron: Señor, tú eres el Dios que hiciste el cielo y la tierra, el mar, y todo lo que en ellos hay;

25 que (en el Espíritu Santo) por boca de David (nuestro padre), tu siervo, dijiste: ¿Por qué han bramado los gentiles, y los pueblos han pensado cosas vanas?

26 Asistieron los reyes de la tierra, y los príncipes se juntaron en uno contra el Señor, y contra su Cristo.

27 Porque verdaderamente se juntaron (en esta ciudad) contra tu santo siervo Jesús, al cual ungiste, Herodes y Poncio Pilato, con los gentiles y los pueblos de Israel,

28 para hacer lo que tu mano y tu consejo habían antes determinado que había de ser hecho.

29 Y ahora, Señor, mira sus amenazas, y da a tus esclavos que con toda confianza hablen tu palabra;

30 que extiendas tu mano a que sanidades, y milagros, y prodigios sean hechos por el Nombre de tu santo esclavo Jesús.

31 Cuando hubieron orado, el lugar en que estaban congregados tembló; y todos fueron llenos del Espíritu Santo, y hablaron la palabra de Dios con confianza.

32 ¶ Y de la multitud de los que habían creído era un corazón y un alma; y ninguno decía ser suyo algo de lo que poseía; mas todas las cosas les eran comunes.

33 Y los apóstoles daban testimonio de la resurrección del Señor Jesús con gran poder; y gran gracia era sobre todos ellos.

34 Que ningún necesitado había entre ellos; porque todos los que poseían heredades o casas, vendiéndolas, traían el precio de lo vendido,

35 y lo ponían a los pies de los apóstoles; y era repartido a cada uno de acuerdo a su necesidad.

36 Entonces José, que fue llamado de los apóstoles por sobrenombre, Bernabé, (que es interpretado, Hijo de consolación) levita, natural de Chipre,

37 como tenía una heredad, la vendió, y trajo el precio, y lo puso a los pies de los apóstoles.

And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

21 So 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 for that which was done.

22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.

23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

32 And 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.

33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

34 Neither 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,

35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

And as they spoke to the people, the priests and the Captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

annoyed that they taught the people and preached the resurrection from the dead in Jesus’ Name.

And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day. For it was now evening.

However, many of those who heard the Word, believed. And the number of the men was about five thousand.

And on the next day it so happened that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, were gathered together at Jerusalem;

and Annas, the High Priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were in the family of the High Priest.

And when they had set them before them, they asked, “By what power, or in what Name, have you done this?”

Then Peter, full of the Holy Ghost, said to them, “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel!

“If we are being examined today regarding the good deed done to the impotent man (or, by what means he is made whole),

10 “be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth - Whom you have crucified, Whom God raised again from the dead - by Him does this man stand here before you, whole.

11 “This is the Stone cast aside by you builders, which has become the Cornerstone.

12 “Nor is there salvation in any other. For among men there is given no other Name under heaven whereby we must be saved.”

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and understood that they were unlearned men and without knowledge, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.

14 And seeing also the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

15 Then they commanded them to go aside, out of the council, and conferred among themselves,

16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For surely a known sign is done by them, which is apparent to all those who dwell in Jerusalem. And we cannot deny it.

17 “But so that it goes no further among the people, let us threaten and charge them, so that they speak no more in this Name to any man.”

18 So they called them, and commanded them, that they should never speak or teach in the Name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered them, and said, “Whether it is right in the sight of God - to obey you rather than God - you be the judge.

20 “For we can only speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

21 So they threatened them and let them go. And they found no way to punish them, because of the people. For they all praised God for what was done.

22 For the man upon whom this miracle of healing was shown was over forty years old.

23 Then, as soon as they were let go, they came home, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24 And when they heard it, they lifted up their voices in unison to God, and said, “O Lord, You are the God Who has made the heaven, and the Earth, the sea, and all things that are in them;

25 “Who, by the mouth of Your servant David, has said, ‘Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine empty things?

26 ‘The kings of the Earth assembled, and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against His Christ.’

27 “For doubtless, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, gathered themselves together against Your Holy Son Jesus - Whom You have anointed -

28 “to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel had determined beforehand to be done.

29 “And now, O Lord, behold their threats. And grant to Your servants to speak Your Word with all boldness,

30 “by stretching forth Your hand. So that healing and signs and wonders may be done by the Name of Your Holy Son, Jesus.”

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. And they spoke the Word of God boldly.

32 And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart, and of one soul. Nor did any of them say that any possession was his own. But they shared everything.

33 And the Apostles witnessed the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power. And great grace was upon them all.

34 Nor were there any among them in need. For as many as possessed lands or houses sold them, and brought the price of the things that were sold,

35 and laid it down at the Apostles’ feet. And it was distributed to each according to his need.

36 Also Joses, who was called ‘Barnabas’ by the Apostles (which means ‘son of encouragement’), a Levite from the country of Cyprus,

37 sold a field which he owned. And he brought the money and laid it down at the Apostles’ feet.
