1Now while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came upon them,
2being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Yeshua(Jesus) the resurrection from the dead.
3And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already hespera(evening).
4But many of those who had heard the logos(word) believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5And it happened on the next day that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,
6together with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander and all who were of high-priestly descent.
7And when they had placed them in the middle, they began to inquire, "By what dynamis(power) or in what name did you do this?"
8Then Peter, filled with hagio(holy) pneuma(spirit), said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9if we are being examined today for a good deed done to a sick man — by what means this man has been saved —
10let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Yeshua(Jesus) Messiah(Christ) the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead — in this name this man stands before you healthy.
11This is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
12And there is Salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
13Now as they observed the parresia(boldness) of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they were marveling, and they recognized them that they had been with Yeshua(Jesus).
14And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.
15But having ordered them to go outside the Sanhedrin(council), they were conferring with one another,
16saying, "What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has happened through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
17But so that it will not spread further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name."
18And calling them, they commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Yeshua(Jesus).
19But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you krino(judge);
20for we are not able to stop speaking the things we have seen and heard."
21And having threatened them further, they released them, finding no way to punish them on account of the people, for all were glorifying God for what had happened.
22For the man was more than forty years old on whom this sign of healing had taken place.
23And when they were released, they came to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24And when they heard it, they lifted their voice with one mind to God and said, "Master, You are God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them,
25who through the mouth of our father David Your servant said: 'Why did the nations rage, and the peoples plot vain things?
26The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against His Messiah(Christ).'
27For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together in this city against Your holy servant Yeshua(Jesus), whom You anointed,
28to do whatever Your hand and Your plan predestined to occur.
29And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to Your servants to speak Your logos(word) with all parresia(boldness),
30while You stretch out Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders occur through the name of Your holy servant Yeshua(Jesus)."
31And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with hagio(holy) pneuma(spirit) and were speaking the logos(word) of God with parresia(boldness).
32And the kardia(heart, soul-domain) and psyche(soul) of the multitude of those who believed was one, and not even one said that any of his possessions was his own, but all things were common to them.
33And with great dynamis(power) the apostles were giving testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua(Jesus), and great charis(grace) was upon them all.
34For there was no needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds of what was sold
35and laying it at the feet of the apostles, and it was being distributed to each one as any had need.
36Now Joseph, who was also called Barnabas by the apostles, which is translated Son of paraklesis(the act of coming alongside to call, comfort, exhortation), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth,
37who owned a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
