Acts 4 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1And as they spake unto the people,

⁎

Some ancient authorities read the chief priests.

the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

2being sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3And they laid hands on them, and put them in ward unto the morrow: for it was now eventide.

4But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

5And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;

6and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.

7And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?

8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,

9if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man,

12And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.

13Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

14And seeing the man that was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

15But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

16saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable

17But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

18And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

19But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:

20for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.

21And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.

22For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this

23And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them.

24And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O

31And when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

32And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

33And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus:

and great grace was upon them all.

34For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

35and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.
