-
Then said Peter, Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, that give I thee: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
-
So when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so steadfastly on us, as though by our own power or godliness, we had made this man go?
-
And his Name hath made this man sound, whom ye see and know, through faith in his Name: and the faith which is by him, hath given to him this perfect health of his whole body in the presence of you all.
-
And now brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your governors.
-
For it shall be that every person which shall not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed out of the people.
-
Also all the Prophets from Samuel, and thenceforth as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
-
1 Peter and John, 3 are taken and brought before the council, 7 and 19 They speak boldly in Christ’s cause. 24 The disciples pray unto God. 32 Many sell their possessions. 36 Of whom Barnabas is one. And as they spake unto the people, the Priests and the Captain of the Temple, and the Sadducees came upon them.
-
And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold, until 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 Annas the chief Priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high Priest.
-
For as much as we this day are examined, of the good deed done to the impotent man, to wit, by what means he is made whole,
-
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye have crucified, whom God raised again from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you, whole.
-
Neither is there salvation in any other: for among men there is given none other Name under heaven, whereby we must be saved.
-
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were unlearned men and without knowledge, they marveled, and knew them, that they had been with Jesus:
-
And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.
-
Saying, What shall we do to these men? for surely a manifest sign is done by them, and it is openly known to all them that dwell in Jerusalem: and we cannot deny it.
-
But that it be noised no farther among the people, let us threaten and charge them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this Name.
-
So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speak or teach in the Name of Jesus.
-
So they threatened them, and let them go, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.
-
For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed.
-
And now, O Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants with all boldness to speak thy word,

Neither was there any among them, that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things that were sold,
-
And laid it down at the Apostles’ feet, and it was distributed unto every man, according as he had need.
-
1 Ananias for his deceit in keeping back part of price, 5 falleth down dead, 10 and likewise Sapphira his wife. 12 Through divers the Apostles’ miracles, 14 the faith is increased. 18 The Apostles that were imprisoned, 19 are delivered by an Angel, 26 and being before the Synod of the Priests, 36 through Gamaliel’s counsel they are kept alive, 40 and beaten: 41 They glorify God. But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
