1 And upon their speaking to the people, the priests and the officer of the temple and the Sadduccees fell upon them,2 being quite troubled on account of their teaching the people and declaring that at the hands of Yahshua is resurrection from the dead.3 And they laid hands on them and put them in custody for the next day, since it was already evening.4 But many of those hearing the Word had believed, and the number of the men was about five thousand.5 And there was on the next day a gathering of them, the leaders and the elders and the scribes in Jerusalem,6 and Hannas the high priest and Kaiaphas and Iohannes and Alexandros and as many as were of the race of the high priest,7 and standing them in the midst they inquired, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"8 Then Petros, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Leaders of the people and elders,9 if we this day are examined for the benefit of the sick man, by what manner he was delivered,10 it must be known by all of you and by all the people of Israel that in the Name of Yahshua Christ the Nazoraian, whom you crucified, whom Yahweh raised from among the dead, by Him he stands before you healthy.11 He is the stone, who was set at naught by your builders, who has become the head cornerstone.12 And there is no deliverance in any other, for there is not another name under the heaven which has been given among men by which it is necessary for us to be preserved."13 And observing the frankness of Petros and Iohannes, and perceiving that they are unlearned and unskilled men, wondering they then recognized them, that they were with Yahshua.14 And looking at the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.15 Then bidding them to go outside of the council, they conferred with each other,16 saying "What shall we do with these men? For indeed it is known that a visible sign has come through them by all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it!17 But in order that it not be spread to a greater extent to the people we should threaten them not any longer to speak in this name to any of the men."18 And calling them they instructed them generally not to utter nor to teach by the Name of Yahshua.19 But Petros and Iohannes replying said to them: "Whether it is just before Yahweh to listen to you, or rather to Yahweh, you decide.20 For we are not able to not speak of the things which we have seen and we have heard."21 Then further threatening them they released them, not finding how they could restrict them on account of the people, because they all extolled Yahweh for that which happened.22 For the man was older than forty years upon whom the sign of this healing had come.23 And being released they went to their own countrymen and reported as much as the high priests and the elders said to them.24 And those hearing with one accord raised a voice to Yahweh and said "Master! You who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them,25 who by the mouth of our father David your servant through the Holy Spirit said 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples practice vanities?26 The kings of the earth made a stand, and the rulers gathered into one place against Yahweh and against His Anointed.'27 For in truth they gathered in this city against Your holy servant Yahshua, whom You anointed, both Herodas and Pontios Pilatos with the Nations and peoples of Israel,28 to do as much as Your hand and will preordained to happen.29 And now these things, Prince! You must look upon their threats and give to Your servants to speak Your Word with all frankness,30 by which extending Your hand for healing and signs and wonders to happen through the Name of Your holy servant Yahshua."31 And upon their making supplication, the place in which they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of Yahweh with frankness.32 And the multitude of those believing were of one heart and soul, and no one reckoned any of his belongings to be his own, but everything was common to them.33 And with great power the ambassadors delivered the testimony of the resurrection of Prince Yahshua, and great favor was with them all.34 Indeed neither was there any deficiency among them, for as many as were owners of farms or houses, selling them brought the proceeds of the things sold35 and set it by the foot of the ambassadors, and they distributed to each just as any had need.36 Then Ioseph, who was called Barnabas by the ambassadors, which is interpreted "son of consolation", a Levite, a Kupriot by birth,37 selling a farm belonging to him brought the money and set it before the feet of the ambassadors.
