Acts 4
1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests
B ⟨chief priests⟩
, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,1 Loquentibus autem illis ad populum, supervenerunt sacerdotes, et magistratus templi, et sadducæi,
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
2 dolentes quod docerent populum, et annuntiarent in Jesu resurrectionem ex mortuis:
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them
A ⟨them⟩
in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.3 et injecerunt in eos manus, et posuerunt eos in custodiam in crastinum: erat enim jam vespera.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word
A omit
believed; and the number of the men was aboutℵA omit
five thousand.4 Multi autem eorum qui audierant verbum, crediderunt: et factus est numerus virorum quinque millia.
5 ¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
5 Factum est autem in crastinum, ut congregarentur principes eorum, et seniores, et scribæ, in Jerusalem:
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
6 et Annas princeps sacerdotum, et Caiphas, et Joannes, et Alexander, et quotquot erant de genere sacerdotali.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
7 Et statuentes eos in medio, interrogabant: In qua virtute, aut in quo nomine fecistis hoc vos?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel
ℵBA omit
,8 ¶ Tunc repletus Spiritu Sancto Petrus, dixit ad eos: Principes populi, et seniores, audite:
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
9 si nos hodie dijudicamur in benefacto hominis infirmi, in quo iste salvus factus est,
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
10 notum sit omnibus vobis, et omni plebi Israël, quia in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Nazareni, quem vos crucifixistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, in hoc iste astat coram vobis sanus.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
11 Hic est lapis qui reprobatus est a vobis ædificantibus, qui factus est in caput anguli:
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
12 et non est in alio aliquo salus. Nec enim aliud nomen est sub cælo datum hominibus, in quo oporteat nos salvos fieri.
13 ¶ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
13 ¶ Videntes autem Petri constantiam, et Joannis, comperto quod homines essent sine litteris, et idiotæ, admirabantur, et cognoscebant eos quoniam cum Jesu fuerant:
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
14 hominem quoque videntes stantem cum eis, qui curatus fuerat, nihil poterant contradicere.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
15 Jusserunt autem eos foras extra concilium secedere: et conferebant ad invicem,
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
16 dicentes: Quid faciemus hominibus istis? quoniam quidem notum signum factum est per eos omnibus habitantibus Jerusalem: manifestum est, et non possumus negare.
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly
ℵBA omit
threaten them, that they speak henceforthA omit
to no man in this name.17 Sed ne amplius divulgetur in populum, comminemur eis ne ultra loquantur in nomine hoc ulli hominum.
18 And they called them, and commanded them
ℵBA omit
not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.18 Et vocantes eos, denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur neque docerent in nomine Jesu.
19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
19 Petrus vero et Joannes respondentes, dixerunt ad eos: Si justum est in conspectu Dei vos potius audire quam Deum, judicate.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
20 Non enim possumus quæ vidimus et audivimus non loqui.
21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
21 At illi comminantes dimiserunt eos, non invenientes quomodo punirent eos propter populum: quia omnes clarificabant id quod factum fuerat in eo quod acciderat.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
22 Annorum enim erat amplius quadraginta homo, in quo factum fuerat signum istud sanitatis.
23 ¶ And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
23 ¶ Dimissi autem venerunt ad suos, et annuntiaverunt eis quanta ad eos principes sacerdotum et seniores dixissent.
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God,
ℵBA omit
which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:24 Qui cum audissent, unanimiter levaverunt vocem ad Deum, et dixerunt: Domine, tu es qui fecisti cælum et terram, mare et omnia quæ in eis sunt:
25 Who by the mouth of thy
ℵBA ⟨our father thy⟩
servant David hast saidℵBA ⟨by the Holy Ghost hast said⟩
, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?25 qui Spiritu Sancto per os patris nostri David pueri tui dixisti: Quare fremuerunt gentes,
et populi meditati sunt inania?
et populi meditati sunt inania?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
26 Astiterunt reges terræ,
et principes convenerunt in unum
adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus.
et principes convenerunt in unum
adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus.
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together
ℵBA ⟨together in this city⟩
,27 ¶ Convenerunt enim vere in civitate ista adversus sanctum puerum tuum Jesum, quem unxisti, Herodes et Pontius Pilatus, cum gentibus et populis Israël,
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy
BA* omit
counsel determined before to be done.28 facere quæ manus tua et consilium tuum decreverunt fieri.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
29 Et nunc, Domine, respice in minas eorum, et da servis tuis cum omni fiducia loqui verbum tuum,
30 By stretching forth thine
BA ⟨the⟩
hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.30 in eo quod manum tuam extendas ad sanitates, et signa, et prodigia fieri per nomen sancti filii tui Jesu.
31 ¶ And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
31 Et cum orassent, motus est locus in quo erant congregati: et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et loquebantur verbum Dei cum fiducia.
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
32 ¶ Multitudinis autem credentium erat cor unum et anima una: nec quisquam eorum quæ possidebat, aliquid suum esse dicebat, sed erant illis omnia communia.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus
ℵA ⟨Jesus Christ the Lord⟩
: and great grace was upon them all.33 Et virtute magna reddebant Apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri: et gratia magna erat in omnibus illis.
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
34 Neque enim quisquam egens erat inter illos. Quotquot enim possessores agrorum aut domorum erant, vendentes afferebant pretia eorum quæ vendebant,
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
35 et ponebant ante pedes Apostolorum. Dividebatur autem singulis prout cuique opus erat.
36 And Joses
ℵBA ⟨Joseph⟩
, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,36 Joseph autem, qui cognominatus est Barnabas ab Apostolis (quod est interpretatum, Filius consolationis), Levites, Cyprius genere,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
37 cum haberet agrum, vendidit eum, et attulit pretium, et posuit ante pedes Apostolorum.
