Mga Gawa 4
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
4 At nang sila'y nangagsasalita pa sa bayan, ay nagsilapit sa kanila ang mga saserdote, at ang puno sa templo, at ang mga Saduceo,
2 Palibhasa'y totoong nangabagabag sapagka't tinuruan nila ang bayan, at ibinalita sa pangalan ni Jesus ang pagkabuhay na maguli sa mga patay.
3 At sila'y kanilang sinunggaban at kanilang ibinilanggo hanggang sa kinabukasan: sapagka't noon nga'y gabi na.
4 Datapuwa't marami sa nangakarinig ng salita ay nagsisampalataya; at ang bilang ng mga lalake ay umabot sa mga limang libo.
5 At nangyari nang kinabukasan, na nangagkatipon sa Jerusalem ang kanilang mga pinuno at mga matanda at mga eskriba;
6 At si Anas, na dakilang saserdote, at si Caifas, at si Juan, at si Alejandro, at ang lahat ng kalipian ng dakilang saserdote.
7 At nang kanilang mailagay na sila sa gitna nila, ay sila'y tinanong, Sa anong kapangyarihan, o sa anong pangalan ginawa ninyo ito?
8 Nang magkagayo'y si Pedro, na puspos ng Espiritu Santo, ay nagsabi sa kanila, Kayong mga pinuno sa bayan, at matatanda,
9 Kung kami sa araw na ito'y sinisiyasat tungkol sa mabuting gawa na ginawa sa isang taong may-sakit, na kung sa anong paraan gumaling ito;
10 Talastasin ninyong lahat, at ng buong bayan ng Israel, na sa pangalan ni Jesucristo ng taga Nazaret, na inyong ipinako sa krus, na binuhay ng Dios na maguli sa mga patay, dahil sa kaniya ay nakatindig ang taong ito sa inyong harap na walang sakit.
11 Siya ang bato na itinakuwil ninyong mga nagtayo ng bahay, na naging pangulo sa panulok.
12 At sa kanino mang iba ay walang kaligtasan: sapagka't walang ibang pangalan sa silong ng langit, na ibinigay sa mga tao, na sukat nating ikaligtas.
13 Nang makita nga nila ang katapangan ni Pedro at ni Juan, at pagkatalastas na sila'y mga taong walang pinagaralan at mga mangmang, ay nangagtaka sila; at nangapagkilala nila, na sila'y nangakasama ni Jesus.
14 At nang mangakita nila ang taong pinagaling na nakatayong kasama nila, ay wala silang maitutol.
15 Datapuwa't nang sila'y mangautusan na nilang magsilabas sa pulong, ay nangagsangusapan,
16 Na nangagsasabi, Anong gagawin natin sa mga taong ito? sapagka't tunay na ginawa sa pamamagitan nila ang himalang hayag sa lahat ng nangananahan sa Jerusalem; at hindi natin maikakaila.
17 Gayon ma'y upang huwag nang lalong kumalat sa bayan, atin silang balaan, na buhat ngayo'y huwag na silang mangagsalita pa sa sinomang tao sa pangalang ito.
18 At sila'y tinawag nila, at binalaan sila, na sa anomang paraan ay huwag silang magsipagsalita ni magsipagturo tungkol sa pangalan ni Jesus.
19 Datapuwa't si Pedro at si Juan ay nagsisagot at nagsipagsabi sa kanila, Kung katuwiran sa paningin ng Dios na makinig muna sa inyo kay sa Dios, inyong hatulan:
20 Sapagka't hindi mangyayaring di namin salitain ang mga bagay na aming nangakita at nangarinig.
21 At sila, nang mapagbalaan na nila, ay pinakawalan, palibhasa'y hindi nangakasumpong ng anomang bagay upang sila'y kanilang mangaparusahan, dahil sa bayan; sapagka't niluluwalhati ng lahat ng mga tao ang Dios dahil sa bagay na ginawa.
22 Sapagka't may mahigit nang apat na pung taong gulang ang tao, na ginawan nitong himala ng pagpapagaling.
23 At nang sila'y mangapakawalan na, ay nagsiparoon sa kanilang mga kasamahan, at iniulat ang lahat ng sa kanila'y sinabi ng mga pangulong saserdote at ng matatanda.
24 At sila, nang kanilang marinig ito, ay nangagkaisang itaas nila ang kanilang tinig sa Dios, at nangagsabi, Oh Panginoon, ikaw na gumawa ng langit at ng lupa at ng dagat, at ng lahat ng nangasa mga yaon:
25 Na sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo, sa pamamagitan ng bibig ng aming amang si David, na iyong lingkod, ay sinabi mo, Bakit nangagalit ang mga Gentil, At nagsipaghaka ang mga tao ng mga bagay na walang kabuluhan?
26 Nagsitayong handa ang mga hari sa lupa, At ang mga pinuno ay nangagpisanpisan, Laban sa Panginoon, at laban sa kaniyang Pinahiran.
27 Sapagka't sa katotohanan sa bayang ito'y laban sa iyong banal na Lingkod na si Jesus, na siya mong pinahiran, ang dalawa ni Herodes at ni Poncio Pilato, kasama ng mga Gentil at ng mga bayan ng Israel, ay nangagpisanpisan,
28 Upang gawin ang anomang naitakda na ng iyong kamay at ng iyong pasiya upang mangyari.
29 At ngayon, Panginoon, tingnan mo ang kanilang mga bala: at ipagkaloob mo sa iyong mga alipin na salitain ang iyong salita ng buong katapangan,
30 Samantalang iyong iniuunat ang iyong kamay upang magpagaling; at upang mangyari nawa ang mga tanda at mga kababalaghan sa pangalan ng iyong banal na si Jesus.
31 At nang sila'y makapanalangin na, ay nayanig ang dakong pinagkakatipunan nila; at nangapuspos silang lahat ng Espiritu Santo, at kanilang sinalita na may katapangan ang salita ng Dios.
32 At ang karamihan ng mga nagsisampalataya ay nangagkakaisa ang puso at kaluluwa: at sinoma'y walang nagsabing kaniyang sarili ang anoman sa mga bagay na kaniyang inaari: kundi lahat nilang pag-aari ay sa kalahatan.
33 At pinatotohanan ng mga apostol na may dakilang kapangyarihan, ang pagkabuhay na maguli ng Panginoong Jesus: at dakilang biyaya ang sumasa kanilang lahat.
34 Sapagka't walang sinomang nasasalat sa kanila: palibnasa'y ipinagbili ng lahat ng may mga lupa o mga bahay ang mga ito, at dinala ang mga halaga ng mga bagay na ipinagbili,
35 At ang mga ito'y inilagay sa mga paanan ng mga apostol: at ipinamamahagi sa bawa't isa, ayon sa kinakailangan ng sinoman.
36 At si Jose, na pinamagatang Bernabe ng mga apostol (na kung liliwanagin ay Anak ng pangangaral), isang Levita, tubo sa Chipre,
37 Na may isang bukid, ay ipinagbili ito, at dinala ang salapi at inilagay sa mga paanan ng mga apostol.

Sina Pedro at Juan sa Harapan ng Korte
4 Habang nagsasalita pa sina Pedro at Juan sa mga tao, nilapitan sila ng mga pari, ng kapitan ng mga guwardya sa templo, at ng mga Saduceo. 2 Nagalit sila dahil nangangaral ang dalawa na muling nabuhay si Jesus, at itoʼy nagpapatunay na may muling pagkabuhay. 3 Kaya dinakip nila sina Pedro at Juan. Iimbestigahan pa sana ang dalawa, pero dahil gabi na, ipinasok na lang muna sila sa bilangguan hanggang sa kinaumagahan. 4 Pero kahit ganito ang nangyari sa kanila, marami sa mga nakarinig ng kanilang pagtuturo ang sumampalataya. Ang mga lalaki na sumampalataya ay 5,000.
5 Kinabukasan, nagtipon sa Jerusalem ang mga namamahalang pari, mga pinuno ng mga Judio at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. 6 Naroon din si Anas na punong pari, si Caifas, si Juan, si Alexander, at ang iba pang mga miyembro ng pamilya ni Anas. 7 Iniharap sa kanila sina Pedro at Juan at tinanong, “Sa anong kapangyarihan at kaninong awtoridad[a] ang inyong ginamit sa pagpapagaling sa taong lumpo?”
8 Si Pedro na puspos ng Banal na Espiritu ay sumagot, “Kayong mga namamahalang pari at mga pinuno ng mga Judio, 9 kung ang itinatanong ninyo sa amin ay tungkol sa paggaling ng taong lumpo, 10 dapat malaman ninyong lahat at ng lahat ng taga-Israel, na ang taong ito na nakatayo rito ngayon ay pinagaling ng kapangyarihan[b] ni Jesu-Cristo na taga-Nazaret. Siya ang inyong ipinako sa krus at pinatay, ngunit binuhay siyang muli ng Dios. 11 Si Jesus ang tinutukoy na bato sa talatang ito ng Kasulatan: ‘Ang bato na itinakwil ninyong mga tagapagtayo ng bahay ang siyang naging batong pundasyon.’ 12 Walang sinuman sa mundong ito ang makapagliligtas sa atin kundi si Jesus lang.”
13 Namangha sila kina Pedro at Juan dahil sa lakas ng loob nilang magsalita, lalo na nang malaman nilang mga karaniwang tao lang sila at walang mataas na pinag-aralan. Namukhaan din nilang silaʼy mga kasama ni Jesus noon. 14 Magsasalita pa sana sila laban sa himalang ginawa nina Pedro at Juan, pero dahil ang taong pinagaling ay nakatayo mismo sa tabi ng dalawa, wala na silang nasabi. 15 Kaya pinalabas muna nila sina Pedro at Juan sa kanilang pinagtitipunan at nag-usap-usap sila. 16 Sinabi nila, “Ano ang gagawin natin sa mga taong ito? Sapagkat kumalat na ang balita sa buong Jerusalem na nakagawa sila ng himala, at hindi natin ito maikakaila. 17 Kaya para huwag nang kumalat ang kanilang pangangaral sa mga tao, balaan natin sila na huwag nang magturo tungkol kay Jesus.”
18 Ipinatawag nila sina Pedro at Juan at sinabihang huwag nang magsalita o magturo tungkol kay Jesus. 19 Pero sumagot sina Pedro at Juan, “Isipin nga ninyong mabuti kung alin ang tama sa paningin ng Dios: ang sumunod sa inyo o ang sumunod sa Dios? 20 Hindi pwedeng hindi namin ipahayag ang aming nakita at narinig.”
21 Pero mahigpit pa rin silang binawalan na mangaral bago sila pinakawalan. Gusto sana nilang parusahan ang dalawa, pero hindi nila magawa. Natatakot sila sa mga tao, dahil pinupuri ng mga ito ang Dios sa nangyaring himala. 22 Sapagkat ang taong pinagaling sa pamamagitan ng himala ay mahigit 40 taon nang lumpo.
Ang Panalangin ng mga Mananampalataya
23 Nang pinakawalan na sina Pedro at Juan, bumalik sila sa kanilang mga kasamahan, at ibinalita nila kung ano ang sinabi ng mga namamahalang pari at ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio. 24 Nang marinig iyon ng mga mananampalataya, nanalangin sila sa Dios. Sinabi nila, “Panginoon na makapangyarihan sa lahat, kayo po ang lumikha ng langit, ng lupa, ng dagat, at lahat ng nasa mga ito. 25 Nagsalita kayo sa pamamagitan ng aming ninunong si David na inyong lingkod. Sinabi niya sa patnubay ng Banal na Espiritu,
‘Bakit matindi ang galit ng mga bansa?
Bakit sila nagpaplano ng wala namang patutunguhan?
26 Ang mga hari at mga pinuno sa mundo ay nagsama-sama,
at nagsipaghanda sa pakikipaglaban sa Panginoon,
at sa kanyang Cristo.’[c]
27 Natupad na ngayon ang sinabi ninyo noon, dahil dito mismo sa Jerusalem, ang mga Judio at hindi Judio, pati si Haring Herodes at si Gobernador Pilato, ay nagkaisang kalabanin ang inyong banal na lingkod na si Jesus na inyong pinili na maging Hari. 28 Sa kanilang ginawa, natupad na ang inyong balak noon. At itoʼy nangyari ayon sa inyong kapangyarihan at kalooban. 29 At ngayon, Panginoon, pinagbabantaan nila kami. Tulungan nʼyo kami na inyong mga lingkod na maging matapang sa pangangaral ng inyong salita. 30 Ipakita nʼyo ang inyong kapangyarihan. Loobin nʼyo na sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan[d] ni Jesus na inyong banal na lingkod ay mapagaling namin ang mga may sakit at makagawa kami ng mga himala at mga kamangha-manghang bagay.”
31 Pagkatapos nilang manalangin, nayanig ang bahay na kanilang pinagtitipunan. Silang lahat ay napuspos ng Banal na Espiritu at buong tapang na nangaral ng salita ng Dios.
Ang Pagtutulungan ng mga Mananampalataya
32 Nagkaisa ang mga mananampalataya sa damdamin at isipan. Itinuring ng bawat isa na ang kanilang mga ari-arian ay hindi lang para sa kanilang sarili kundi para sa lahat. 33 Patuloy ang paggawa ng mga apostol ng mga kamangha-manghang gawa bilang patunay na ang Panginoong Jesus ay talagang nabuhay muli. At lubusang pinagpala ng Dios ang lahat ng mga mananampalataya. 34 Hindi sila nagkulang sa kanilang pangangailangan dahil ipinagbili ng mga may kaya ang kanilang mga lupaʼt bahay, 35 at ang peraʼy ibinigay nila sa mga apostol. At ibinigay naman ito ng mga apostol sa bawat isa ayon sa kanilang pangangailangan.
36 Ganyan din ang ginawa ng Levitang si Jose na taga-Cyprus. Tinatawag siya ng mga apostol na Bernabe, na ang ibig sabihin ay “Tagapagpalakas ng Loob.” 37 Ibinenta ni Jose ang kanyang lupa at ang peraʼy ibinigay niya sa mga apostol.

Peter and John Are Put in Prison
4 The religious leaders and the leader of the house of God and some of the religious group who believe no one will be raised from the dead came to Peter and John while they were talking to the people. 2 They were angry because Peter and John had been teaching the people and preaching that Jesus had been raised from the dead. 3 So they took them and put them in prison until the next day because it was evening. 4 But many of those who heard what Peter and John said put their trust in Christ. The group of followers was now about 5,000 men.
Peter Speaks to the Religious Leaders’ Court
5 The next day the leaders of the court and the leaders of the people and the teachers of the Law came together in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the head religious leader was there. Caiaphas and John and Alexander were there also and all who were in the family of the head religious leader. 7 They put the missionaries in front of them and asked, “By what power or in whose name have you done this?”
8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said, “You who are leaders of the people, 9 are you asking us today about the good work we did to a man who needed help? Are you asking how he was healed? 10 You and all the Jews must know that it was by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the One you nailed to a cross and God raised from the dead. It is through Him that this man stands in front of you well and strong. 11 Christ is the Stone that was put aside by you workmen. But He has become the most important Stone in the building. (A) 12 There is no way to be saved from the punishment of sin through anyone else. For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved.”
Peter and John Are Free to Go but Are Told Not to Preach
13 They were surprised and wondered how easy it was for Peter and John to speak. They could tell they were men who had not gone to school. But they knew they had been with Jesus. 14 They were not able to argue about what Peter and John had said because the man who had been healed was standing with them.
15 The religious leaders told Peter and John to leave the court so the leaders could talk together. 16 They said, “What should we do with these men? Everyone living in Jerusalem knows a powerful work has been done by them. We cannot say that it did not happen. 17 Let us tell them with strong words that they must not speak again to anyone in this name. This will keep the news from going out among the people.”
18 Then they called them in and told them they must not speak or teach anymore in the name of Jesus. 19 Peter and John said, “If it is right to listen to you more than to God, you decide about that. 20 For we must tell what we have seen and heard.”
21 After they had spoken more sharp words to them, they let them go. They could not beat them because the people were giving thanks to God for what had happened. 22 The man on whom this powerful work of healing had been done was more than forty years old.
The Prayer of the Young Church
23 As soon as the missionaries were free to go, they went back to their own group. They told them everything the religious leaders had said. 24 When they heard it, they all prayed to God, saying, “Lord God, You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything that is in them. 25 You said through the Holy Spirit by the mouth of our father David, ‘Why are the nations so shaken up and the people planning foolish things? 26 The kings of the earth stood in a line ready to fight, and the leaders were all against the Lord and against His Christ.’ (B) 27 You know that Herod and Pilate and the Jews and the people who are not Jews gathered together here against Jesus. He was Your Holy Son and the One You had chosen 28 to do everything You planned and said would happen. 29 And now, Lord, listen to their sharp words. Make it easy for your servants to preach Your Word with power. 30 May You heal and do powerful works and special things to see through the name of Jesus, Your Holy Son!”
The Christians Are Filled with the Holy Spirit
31 When they had finished praying, the place where they were gathered was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. It was easy for them to speak the Word of God.
The New Way of Life
32 The many followers acted and thought the same way. None of them said that any of their things were their own, but they shared all things. 33 The missionaries told with much power how Jesus was raised from the dead. God’s favor was on them all. 34 No one was in need. All who owned houses or pieces of land sold them and brought the money from what was sold. 35 They gave it to the missionaries. It was divided to each one as he had need.
36 Joseph was among them. The missionaries called him Barnabas. His name means Son of Comfort. He was from the family group of Levi and from the country of Cyprus. 37 He had some land which he sold and brought the money to the missionaries.

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)
