Acts 23:1-22
English Standard Version
23 And looking intently at the council, Paul said, “Brothers, (A)I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.” 2 And the high priest (B)Ananias commanded those who stood by him (C)to strike him on the mouth. 3 Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you (D)whitewashed (E)wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet (F)contrary to the law you (G)order me to be struck?” 4 Those who stood by said, “Would you revile (H)God's high priest?” 5 And Paul said, (I)“I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest, for it is written, (J)‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
6 Now when Paul perceived that one part were (K)Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers, (L)I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is (M)with respect to the (N)hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.” 7 And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8 For the Sadducees (O)say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all. 9 Then a great clamor arose, and some of (P)the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended sharply, (Q)“We find nothing wrong in this man. What (R)if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?” 10 And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from among them by force and bring him into (S)the barracks.
11 (T)The following night (U)the Lord stood by him and said, (V)“Take courage, for (W)as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must (X)testify also in Rome.”
A Plot to Kill Paul
12 When it was day, (Y)the Jews made a plot and (Z)bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 13 There were more than forty who made this conspiracy. 14 They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul. 15 Now therefore you, along with the council, give notice to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
16 Now the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush, so he went and entered (AA)the barracks and told Paul. 17 Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the tribune, for he has something to tell him.” 18 So he took him and brought him to the tribune and said, “Paul (AB)the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, as he has something to say to you.” 19 The tribune took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?” 20 And he said, (AC)“The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more closely about him. 21 But do not be persuaded by them, for more than forty of their men are lying in ambush for him, who (AD)have bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now they are ready, waiting for your consent.” 22 So the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him, “Tell no one that you have informed me of these things.”

English Standard Version
26 Then (A)the captain with the officers went and brought them, but not by force, for (B)they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28 saying, (C)“We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you (D)intend to bring this man's blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, (E)“We must obey God rather than men. 30 (F)The God of our fathers (G)raised Jesus, (H)whom you killed by hanging him on (I)a tree. 31 God exalted (J)him at his right hand as (K)Leader and (L)Savior, (M)to give (N)repentance to Israel and (O)forgiveness of sins. 32 And (P)we are witnesses to these things, and (Q)so is the Holy Spirit, (R)whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, they (S)were enraged and wanted to kill them. 34 But a Pharisee in the council named (T)Gamaliel, (U)a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. 36 For (V)before these days Theudas rose up, (W)claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of (X)the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38 So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for (Y)if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; 39 but (Z)if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You (AA)might even be found opposing God!” So they took his advice, 40 and (AB)when they had called in the apostles, (AC)they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 Then they left the presence of the council, (AD)rejoicing that they were counted worthy (AE)to suffer dishonor for (AF)the name. 42 And every day, (AG)in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and (AH)preaching (AI)that the Christ is Jesus.

Acts 4:6-22
English Standard Version
6 with (A)Annas the high priest and (B)Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, (C)“By what power or (D)by what name did you do this?” 8 Then Peter, (E)filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, 9 if we are being examined today (F)concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that (G)by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, (H)whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. 11 (I)This Jesus[a] is the stone that was (J)rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.[b] 12 And there is (K)salvation (L)in no one else, for (M)there is no other (N)name under heaven given among men[c] by which we must be saved.”
13 (O)Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. 14 But seeing the man who was healed (P)standing beside them, (Q)they had nothing to say in opposition. 15 But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another, 16 saying, (R)“What shall we do with these men? For that (S)a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them (T)to speak no more to anyone in this name.” 18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered them, (U)“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20 for (V)we cannot but speak of what (W)we have seen and heard.” 21 And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, (X)because of the people, for all were praising God (Y)for what had happened. 22 For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
