And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,Acts 5:22and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,Acts 5:23saying—‘The prison indeed we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having opened—within we found no one.’Acts 5:24And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come;Acts 5:25and coming near, a certain one told them, saying—‘Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;’Acts 5:26then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned;Acts 5:27and having brought them, they set them in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them,Acts 5:28saying, ‘Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.’Acts 5:29And Peter and the apostles answering, said, ‘To obey God it behoveth, rather than men;Acts 5:30and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree;Acts 5:31this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;Acts 5:32and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.’Acts 5:33And they having heard, were cut to the heart, and were taking counsel to slay them,Acts 5:34but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim—a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people—commanded to put the apostles forth a little,Acts 5:35and said unto them, ‘Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what ye are about to do,Acts 5:36for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought.Acts 5:37‘After this one rose up, Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew away much people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered;Acts 5:38and now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,Acts 5:39and if it be of God, ye are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps also ye be found fighting against God.’Acts 5:40And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go;Acts 5:41they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour,Acts 5:42every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news—Jesus the Christ.Acts 6:2and the twelve, having called near the multitude of the disciples, said, ‘It is not pleasing that we, having left the word of God, do minister at tables;Acts 6:3look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity,Acts 6:4and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.’Acts 6:5And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,Acts 6:6whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid on them their hands.Acts 8:6the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,Acts 8:8and there was great joy in that city.Acts 8:9And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,Acts 8:10to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, ‘This one is the great power of God;’Acts 8:11and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.Acts 8:12And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;Acts 8:18And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,Acts 8:19saying, ‘Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.’Acts 8:20And Peter said unto him, ‘Thy silver with thee—may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;Acts 8:21thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;Acts 8:22reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,Acts 8:23for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.’Acts 9:23And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,Acts 9:24and their counsel against him was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,Acts 9:25and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.Acts 9:29and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,Acts 9:30and the brethren having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.Acts 9:32And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all quarters, came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,Acts 9:33and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name—for eight years laid upon a couch—who was paralytic,Acts 9:34and Peter said to him, ‘Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;’ and immediately he rose,Acts 9:35and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord.Acts 9:43and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.Acts 10:42and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead—Acts 12:3and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also—and they were the days of the unleavened food—Acts 12:4whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.Acts 12:5Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him,Acts 12:6and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison,Acts 12:7and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, ‘Rise in haste,’ and his chains fell from off his hands.
