WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.880 Chapter 4 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of 00:05.880 --> 00:10.400 the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being grieved that they taught the 00:10.400 --> 00:13.880 people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 00:14.320 --> 00:19.220 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day, for it was now 00:19.220 --> 00:19.860 eventide. 00:20.800 --> 00:25.140 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed, and the number of the men was 00:25.140 --> 00:26.360 about five thousand. 00:27.420 --> 00:31.020 And it came to pass in the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, 00:31.200 --> 00:36.140 and scribes, and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, 00:36.340 --> 00:40.260 and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at 00:40.260 --> 00:40.680 Jerusalem. 00:41.380 --> 00:46.700 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name 00:46.700 --> 00:47.660 have ye done this? 00:47.860 --> 00:52.320 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, 00:52.760 --> 00:58.960 and elders of Israel, If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the 00:58.960 --> 01:04.740 impotent man, by what means he is made whole, be it known unto you all, 01:04.960 --> 01:09.380 and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of 01:09.380 --> 01:15.980 Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth 01:15.980 --> 01:17.920 this man stand here before you whole. 01:19.220 --> 01:26.380 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head 01:26.380 --> 01:27.460 of the corner. 01:28.920 --> 01:35.100 Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven 01:35.100 --> 01:38.940 given among men, whereby we must be saved. 01:39.520 --> 01:43.660 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were 01:43.660 --> 01:48.720 unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled, and they took knowledge of them that they 01:48.720 --> 01:49.700 had been with Jesus. 01:50.580 --> 01:54.220 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing 01:54.220 --> 01:54.840 against it. 01:55.440 --> 01:59.660 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred 01:59.660 --> 02:02.260 among themselves, saying, What shall we do to these men? 02:02.820 --> 02:06.420 For that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them 02:06.420 --> 02:08.780 that dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 02:09.120 --> 02:13.100 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straightly threaten them, 02:13.100 --> 02:16.320 that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 02:16.620 --> 02:21.080 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name 02:21.080 --> 02:21.560 of Jesus. 02:22.460 --> 02:27.160 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of 02:27.160 --> 02:30.560 God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 02:31.320 --> 02:35.400 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. 02:35.680 --> 02:40.200 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they 02:40.200 --> 02:41.920 might punish them because of the people. 02:42.440 --> 02:46.240 For all men glorified God for that which was done. 02:46.980 --> 02:51.300 For the man was above forty years old on whom this miracle of healing was showed. 02:52.220 --> 02:56.740 And being let go, they went to their own company and reported all that the chief 02:56.740 --> 02:58.360 priests and elders had said unto them. 02:59.060 --> 03:03.000 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and 03:03.000 --> 03:10.960 said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that 03:10.960 --> 03:11.800 in them is. 03:12.520 --> 03:17.380 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, 03:17.440 --> 03:19.320 and the people imagine vain things? 03:19.980 --> 03:24.200 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together 03:24.200 --> 03:27.080 against the Lord, and against his Christ. 03:27.560 --> 03:32.580 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, 03:32.580 --> 03:37.900 both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel 03:37.900 --> 03:39.160 were gathered together. 03:39.860 --> 03:45.420 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. 03:46.060 --> 03:52.980 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants that with all 03:52.980 --> 03:58.160 boldness they may speak thy word, by stretching forth thine hand to heal, 03:58.560 --> 04:04.300 and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 04:04.760 --> 04:09.320 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together. 04:09.980 --> 04:14.020 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with 04:14.020 --> 04:14.560 boldness. 04:14.980 --> 04:18.960 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul. 04:19.580 --> 04:23.180 Neither said any of them that out of the things which he possessed was his own, 04:23.640 --> 04:25.360 but they had all things common. 04:26.140 --> 04:30.260 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord 04:30.260 --> 04:33.360 Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 04:34.260 --> 04:38.180 Neither was there any among them that lacked, for as many as were possessors of 04:38.180 --> 04:42.180 lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 04:42.540 --> 04:47.420 and laid them down at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made unto every man 04:47.420 --> 04:48.800 according as he had need. 04:49.980 --> 04:54.780 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, which is being 04:54.780 --> 04:59.680 interpreted the son of consolation, a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 05:00.100 --> 05:04.540 having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
