NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Acts 4

Peter and John Arrested

1

As they were speakingg2980 to the peopleg2992, the priestsg2409 and  athe captaing4755 of the templeg2413 guard and  bthe Sadduceesg4523  ccameg2186 up to them,

2

being greatlyg1278 disturbedg1278 becauseg1223 they were teachingg1321 the peopleg2992 and proclaimingg2605  1 ain Jesusg2424 the resurrectiong386 from the deadg3498.

3

And they laidg1911 handsg5495 on them and  aputg5087 them in jailg5084 untilg1519 the nextg839 dayg839, for it was alreadyg2235 eveningg2073.

4

But manyg4183 of thoseg3588 who had heardg191 the  1messageg3056 believedg4100; and  athe numberg706 of the meng435 cameg1096 to be aboutg5613 fiveg4002 thousandg5505.

5

On the nextg839 dayg839, their  arulersg758 and eldersg4245 and scribesg1122 were gatheredg4863 togetherg4863 in Jerusalemg2419;

6

and  aAnnasg452 the highg749 priestg749 was there, and  bCaiaphasg2533 and Johng2491 and Alexanderg223, and allg3745 whog3745 were of high-priestlyg748 descentg1085.

7

When they had placedg2476 them in the centerg3319, they began to inquireg4441, "By whatg4169 powerg1411, org2228 in whatg4169 nameg3686, have you doneg4160 thisg3778?"

8

Theng5119 Peterg4074,  1 afilledg4092a with the Holyg40 Spiritg4151, saidg3004 to them, " 2 bRulersg758 and eldersg4245 of the peopleg2992,

9

ifg1487 we are  1on trialg350 todayg4594 for  aa benefitg2108 doneg2108 to a sickg772 mang444,  2as to howg5101 thisg3778 mang3778 has been madeg4982 wellg4982,

10

let it be knowng1110 to allg3956 of you and to allg3956 the peopleg2992 of Israelg2274, that  1 aby the nameg3686 of Jesusg2424 Christg5547 the Nazareneg3480, whomg3739 you crucifiedg4717, whomg3739  bGodg2316 raisedg1453 from the deadg3498-- 1by  2thisg3778 name thisg3778 mang3778 standsg3936 hereg3936 beforeg1799 you in goodg5199 healthg5199.

11

1 aHe is the  bSTONEg3037 WHICH WAS  cREJECTEDg1848 by you, THE BUILDERSg3620b, but WHICH BECAMEg1096 THE CHIEFg2776 CORNERg1137 stone.

12

"And there is salvationg4991 in  anog3756g3762 oneg3762 elseg243; for there is nog3761 otherg2087 nameg3686 underg5259 heaveng3772 that has been giveng1325 amongg1722 meng444 by whichg3739 we mustg1163 be savedg4982."

Threat and Release

13

Nowg1161 as they observedg2334 the  aconfidenceg3954 of  bPeterg4074 and Johng2491 and understoodg2638 that they were uneducatedg62 and untrainedg2399 meng444, they were amazedg2296, and  cbegan to recognizeg1921 them  1as having beeng1510 with Jesusg2424.

14

And seeingg991 the mang444 who had been healedg2323 standingg2476 with them, they hadg2192 nothingg3762 to sayg471 in replyg471.

15

But when they had orderedg2753 them to leaveg565 the  1 aCouncilg4892, they began to conferg4820 with oneg240 anotherg240,

16

sayingg3004, " aWhatg5101 shall we dog4160 with theseg3778 meng444? For the factg3754 that a  bnoteworthyg1110  1miracleg4592 has takeng1096 placeg1096 throughg1223 them is apparentg5318 to allg3956 who liveg2730 in Jerusalemg2419, and we cannotg1410g3756 denyg720 it.

17

"But sog2443 that it will not spreadg1268 anyg1909 furtherg1909g4183 amongg1519 the peopleg2992, let us warng546 them to speakg2980 nog3371 longerg3371 to anyg3367 mang444  ain thisg3778 nameg3686."

18

And when they had summonedg2564 them, they  acommandedg3853 them not to speakg5350 org3366 teachg1321 at allg2527  1in the nameg3686 of Jesusg2424.

19

But  aPeterg4074 and Johng2491 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to them, " bWhetherg1487 it is rightg1342 in the sightg1799 of Godg2316 to giveg191 heedg191 to you ratherg3123 thang2228 to Godg2316, you be the judgeg2919;

20

for  awe cannotg1410g3756 stopg3361 speakingg2980 about whatg3739 we have seeng3708 and heardg191."

21

When they had threatenedg4324 them furtherg4324, they letg630 them gog630 (findingg2147 nog3367 basisg3367 on which to punishg2849 them)  aon accountg1223 of the peopleg2992, becauseg3754 they were allg3956  bglorifyingg1392 Godg2316 for what had happenedg1096;

22

for the mang444 was moreg4183 than fortyg5065b yearsg2094 old on whomg3739 thisg3778  1miracleg4592 of healingg2392 had been performedg1096.

23

When they had been releasedg630, they wentg2064 to their owng2398 companions and reportedg518 allg3745 that the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the eldersg4245 had saidg3004 to them.

24

And when they heardg191 this, they liftedg142 their voicesg5456 to Godg2316 with oneg3661 accordg3661 and saidg3004, "O  1Lordg1203, it is You who  aMADE THE HEAVENg3772 AND THE EARTHg1093 AND THE SEAg2281, AND ALLg3956 THAT IS IN THEM,

25

who  aby the Holyg40 Spiritg4151, through the mouthg4750 of our fatherg3962 Davidg1160b Your servantg3816, saidg3004, ` bWHYg2443g5101 DID THE  1GENTILESg1484 RAGEg5433, AND THE PEOPLESg2992 DEVISEg3191 FUTILEg2756 THINGSg2756?

26

aTHE KINGSg935 OF THE EARTHg1093  1TOOKg3936 THEIR STANDg3936, AND THE RULERSg758 WERE GATHEREDg4863 TOGETHERg1909g3588g846 AGAINSTg2596 THE LORDg2962 AND AGAINSTg2596 HIS  2 bCHRISTg5547.'

27

"For trulyg1909g225 in thisg3778 cityg4172 there were gatheredg4863 togetherg4863 againstg1909 Your holyg40  1 aservantg3816 Jesusg2424, whomg3739 You anointedg5548, bothg5037  bHerodg2264 and  cPontiusg4194 Pilateg4091, alongg4862 with  dthe  2Gentilesg1484 and the peoplesg2992 of Israelg2274,

28

to dog4160 whateverg3745 Your handg5495 and  aYour purposeg1012 predestinedg4309 to occurg1096.

29

"And  1nowg3568, Lordg2962, takeg1896 noteg1896 of their threatsg547, and grantg1325 that Your bond-servantsg1401 may  aspeakg2980 Your wordg3056 with allg3956  bconfidenceg3954,

30

whileg1722 You extendg1614 Your handg5495 to healg2392, and  1 asignsg4592 and wondersg5059 takeg1096 placeg1096 throughg1223 the nameg3686 of Your holyg40  2 bservantg3816 Jesusg2424."

31

And when they had prayedg1189a, the  aplaceg5117 whereg1722g3739 they had gatheredg4863 togetherg4863 was shakeng4531, and they were allg537a  bfilledg4092a with the Holyg40 Spiritg4151 and began to  cspeakg2980 the wordg3056 of Godg2316 with  dboldnessg3954.

Sharing among Believers

32

And the  1congregationg4128 of thoseg3588 who believedg4100 were of oneg1520 heartg2588 and soulg5590; and not oneg1520 of them  2claimedg3004 that anythingg5100 belongingg5225 to him was his owng2398, but  aallg3956 thingsg3956 were commong2839 propertyg2839 to them.

33

And  awith greatg3173 powerg1411 the apostlesg652 were givingg591  btestimonyg3142 to the resurrectiong386 of the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424, and abundantg3173 graceg5485 was upon them allg3956.

34

For there was not a needyg1729b persong5100 amongg1722 them, for allg3745 whog3745 were ownersg2935 of landg5564 org2228 housesg3614  awould sellg4453 them and bringg5342 the  1proceedsg5092 of the salesg4097

35

and  alayg5087 them at the apostles'g652 feetg4228, and they would be  bdistributedg1239 to eachg1538 as anyg5100 hadg2192 needg5532.

36

Now Josephg2501, a Leviteg3019 of  aCypriang2953 birthg1085, who was also calledg1941  bBarnabasg921 by the apostlesg652 (whichg3739 translatedg3177 meansg1510 Song5207 of  1 cEncouragementg3874),

37

and who ownedg5225 a tractg68 of landg68, soldg4453 it and broughtg5342 the moneyg5536 and  alaidg5087 it at the apostles'g652 feetg4228.
