RF ACT 4:1 The Apostles Arrested.
But while they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the commander of the temple, and the Sadducees, made their appearance;
RF ACT 4:2 being very indignant because they were teaching the people, and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
RF ACT 4:3 They accordingly arrested them, and took them into custody until the following morning; for it was now evening.
RF ACT 4:4 But many of the hearers believed the Message; and their number increased to about five thousand.
RF ACT 4:5 Then on the following day, they collected at Jerusalem their own magistrates, elders, and professors,
RF ACT 4:6 and Annas the High Priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, together with as many as were relatives of the High Priest;
RF ACT 4:7 and placing them in the centre, they inquired: "By the authority of what power, or by the appointment of whose Name, have you done this?"
RF ACT 4:8 Peter's Address to the Council.
Then Peter, full of Holy Spirit, answered them: "Princes of the people, and elders,
RF ACT 4:9 since we are to-day examined concerning a benefit to a feeble man, by what means he has been cured,
RF ACT 4:10 let it be known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth—Whom you crucified, Whom God raised from the dead—by means of Him, this man now stands quite well before you.
RF ACT 4:11 This Man is THE STONE DESPISED BY YOU, THE BUILDERS, WHICH HAS BECOME THE CHIEF KEYSTONE.1
RF ACT 4:12 And there is salvation by no other; for there is not another name under heaven given among men, by which we can be saved."
RF ACT 4:13 Perceiving then the unfettered eloquence of Peter and John, and understanding that they were common, illiterate men, they were much astonished; and recollected that they had been with Jesus.
RF ACT 4:14 But seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they could not contradict it.
RF ACT 4:15 Ordering them, therefore, to leave the council, they debated among themselves,
RF ACT 4:16 saying; "What shall we do to these men? for a strange affair has undoubtedly occurred through them, which is perfectly clear to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
RF ACT 4:17 But so that it spread no further through the nation, let us terrify them with threats to speak no more to any man in this Name."
RF ACT 4:18 Then summoning them into their presence, they imperatively forbade them either to converse in any way, or teach about the name of Jesus.
RF ACT 4:19 Peter and John, replying to them, however, said:
"Decide whether it is right in the presence of God to listen to you rather than to God.
RF ACT 4:20 Because we have no power to do otherwise than tell what we have seen and heard."
RF ACT 4:21 Accordingly, finding no means of securing a conviction against them, they threatened them further and discharged them, on account of the people, because all the people praised God for what had been done.
RF ACT 4:22 For the man upon whom the evidence of curing had been effected was upwards of forty years of age.
RF ACT 4:23 The Apostles Rejoicing in Persecution.
Being then dismissed, they returned to their own company, and reported everything that the chief priest and elders had said to them.
RF ACT 4:24 And when they heard it, they sang in unison to God, and said: "Almighty, You Who have made the heaven, the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them;
RF ACT 4:25 Who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our forefather David, Your servant, said;
WHY RAGE THE HEATHEN SO,
AND THE PEOPLE PLOT IN VAIN?
RF ACT 4:26 THE KINGS OF THE EARTH RANGE THEMSELVES FOR ATTACK,
AND THE JUDGES ARE COMBINED TOGETHER
AGAINST THE LORD, AND AGAINST HIS MESSIAH.2
RF ACT 4:27 For of a truth both Herod and Pilate plotted in this city against Your holy Son Jesus, Whom You had consecrated, inviting the heathen and people of Israel
RF ACT 4:28 to effect what Your hand and counsel had decided should be done.
RF ACT 4:29 And now, Lord, observe their threats; and grant Your servants full freedom to declare Your message;
RF ACT 4:30 while You extend Your hand for restoring health, with signs and wonders to be done through the Name of Your holy Child Jesus!"
RF ACT 4:31 And while they prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke out the message of God with freedom.
RF ACT 4:32 Brotherly Love Exemplified.
But the crowd of the believers were one, heart and soul; and no one who possessed property claimed it as exclusively his own: but it was for the use of all.
RF ACT 4:33 And the apostles, with much vigour, propagated the evidence of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And goodwill reigned supreme among them; because none among them were in poverty.
RF ACT 4:34 For some who were possessors of lands or houses sold them; and, bringing the price of the sales,
RF ACT 4:35 and presenting the same at the feet of the apostles, a distribution was made to each according to his need.
RF ACT 4:36 For Joseph, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas (which, when translated, means Son of Consolation), a Levite, and a native of Cyprus,
RF ACT 4:37 possessing an estate of his own, sold it; and bringing the money, he placed it at the disposal of the apostles.
