Si Pedro kag si Juan sa Atubangan sang Korte

Samtang nagahambal pa si Pedro kag si Juan sa mga tawo, ginpalapitan sila sang mga pari, sang opisyal sang mga guwardya sa templo, kag sang mga Saduceo. Naakig sila tungod nga nagapanudlo ining duha nga si Jesus nabanhaw, kag ini nagapamatuod nga may pagkabanhaw. Gani gindakop nila si Pedro kag si Juan. Kuntani imbistigaron nila ang duha, pero tungod nga sirom na, ginsulod lang anay nila sila sa prisohan hasta mag-aga. Pero bisan amo ini ang natabo sa ila, madamo sa mga nakabati sang ila pagpanudlo ang nagtuo. Ang mga lalaki lang nga nagtuo mga 5,000.

Pagkaaga, nagtilipon sa Jerusalem ang mga manugdumala nga mga pari, ang mga manugdumala sang mga Judio, kag ang mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan. Didto man si Anas nga pangulo nga pari, si Caifas, si Juan, si Alexander, kag ang iban pa nga mga miyembro sang pamilya ni Anas. Gindala sa ila si Pedro kag si Juan kag ginpamangkot, “Sa ano nga gahom kag kay sin-o awtoridad[a] ang inyo gin-gamit sa pag-ayo sang tawo nga lupog?” Si Pedro nga gin-gamhan sang Espiritu Santo nagsabat, “Kamo nga mga pangulo kag mga manugdumala sang mga Judio, kon ang ginapamangkot ninyo sa amon parte sa pag-ayo sang tawo nga lupog, 10 dapat mahibaluan ninyo tanan kag sang tanan nga taga-Israel, nga gin-ayo ang tawo nga ini nga nagatindog diri subong paagi sa ngalan[b] ni Jesu-Cristo nga taga-Nazaret. Siya amo ang inyo ginlansang sa krus kag ginpatay. Pero ginbanhaw siya sang Dios. 11 Si Jesus amo ang ginatumod nga bato sa Kasulatan nga nagasiling, ‘Ang bato nga ginsikway ninyo nga mga panday amo ang nangin pundasyon nga bato.’[c] 12 Wala na sing iban sa bug-os nga kalibutan nga makaluwas sa aton kundi si Jesus lang.”

13 Natingala sila kay Pedro kag kay Juan nga wala gid sila nahadlok sa pagsugid, kay nahibaluan nila nga sila mga ordinaryo lang nga mga tawo kag wala sing mataas nga tinun-an. Dayon natalupangdan nila nga ini sila mga kaupod ni Jesus sang una. 14 Gusto nila nga maghambal kontra sa milagro nga ginhimo nila ni Pedro, pero tungod nga ang tawo nga gin-ayo nagatindog sa tupad ni Pedro kag ni Juan, naghipos na lang sila. 15 Gani ginpaguwa nila anay si Pedro kag si Juan sa Korte sang mga Judio kag naghambalanay sila. 16 Siling nila, “Ano bala ang aton himuon sa mga tawo nga ini? Kay bantog na sa bug-os nga Jerusalem nga nakahimo sila sang milagro, kag indi kita makasiling nga butig ini. 17 Gani agod indi na maglapnag ang ila pagpanudlo sa mga tawo, paandaman ta sila nga indi na gid magtudlo parte kay Jesus.” 18 Dayon ginpatawag nila si Pedro kag si Juan kag ginsilingan nga indi na gid sila maghambal ukon magpanudlo parte kay Jesus.[d] 19 Pero nagsabat si Pedro kag si Juan sa ila, “Abi hunahunaa ninyo sing maayo kon diin sini ang matarong sa panulok sang Dios: ang pagtuman sa inyo ukon ang pagtuman sa Dios? 20 Indi mahimo nga indi kami magsugid parte sa amon nakita kag nabatian.” 21 Pero ginpaandaman gihapon sila nga indi na gid magpanugid, kag pagkatapos ginbuy-an sila. Bisan gusto nila kuntani nga sakiton ang duha, indi nila ini mahimo tungod nga nahadlok sila sa mga tawo, kay ang mga tawo nagadayaw sa Dios tungod sa milagro nga natabo. 22 Kay ang tawo nga gin-ayo paagi sa milagro sobra 40 ka tuig nga siya lupog.

Ang Pangamuyo sang mga Tumuluo kay Jesus

23 Sang nabuy-an na si Pedro kag si Juan, nagbalik sila sa ila mga kaupod, kag ginsugid nila sa ila kon ano ang ginsiling sang manugdumala nga mga pari kag sang mga manugdumala sang mga Judio. 24 Pagkabati sadto sang mga tumuluo nagpangamuyo sila sa Dios, “Ginoo nga makagagahom sa tanan, ikaw ang naghimo sang langit, sang duta, sang dagat, kag sang tanan nga butang nga ara sa ila. 25 Paagi sa Espiritu Santo ginpahambal mo ang amon katigulangan nga si David nga imo alagad.

Siling niya, ‘Ngaa bala puwerte gid ang kaakig sang mga indi Judio?[e]
Kag ngaa nagaplano ang mga Judio[f] sang wala sing pulos?
26 Ang mga hari kag mga pangulo sa kalibutan nagtilipon kag nagpreparar sa pagpakig-away kontra sa Ginoo kag sa hari nga iya ginpili.’[g]

27 Natuman na subong ang imo ginhambal sang una tungod nga diri mismo sa Jerusalem ang mga Judio kag mga indi Judio, pati si Herodes nga hari kag si Pilato nga gobernador, nagsugtanay nga kontrahon ang imo balaan nga alagad nga si Jesus nga imo ginpili nga mangin Hari. 28 Sa ila ginhimo natuman na ang imo plano sang una. Kag ini natabo suno sa imo gahom kag kabubut-on. 29 Kag karon, Ginoo, ginapahog nila kami. Buligi kami nga imo mga alagad nga magmaisog sa pagwali sang imo pulong. 30 Ipakita ang imo gahom. Itugot nga paagi sa ngalan[h] ni Jesus nga imo balaan nga alagad, mapaayo namon ang mga masakiton kag makahimo kami sang mga milagro kag makatilingala nga mga butang.” 31 Pagkatapos nila pangamuyo, nag-uyog ang balay nga ila ginatipunan. Gin-gamhan sila tanan sang Espiritu Santo kag nangisog sa pagwali sang pulong sang Dios.

Ang Pagbinuligay sang mga Tumuluo

32 Tanan nga tumuluo isa lang sa panghunahuna kag balatyagon. Ang kada isa sa ila wala nagkabig nga ang iya mga pagkabutang iya gid lang, kundi para sa tanan. 33 Padayon ang paghimo sang mga apostoles sang makatilingala nga mga butang sa pagpamatuod nga si Ginoong Jesus nabanhaw gid. Kag dako gid ang bulig sang Dios sa tanan nga tumuluo. 34 Wala sing may nawad-an sa ila kinahanglanon tungod kay may mga tumuluo nga nagpamaligya sang ila mga duta kag mga balay, 35 kag ginhatag nila ang bili sa mga apostoles. Dayon ginpanagtag ini sang mga apostoles sa kada isa suno sa iya kinahanglanon.

36 Amo man ini ang ginhimo ni Jose nga taga-Cyprus, nga kaliwat ni Levi. Ginatawag siya sang mga apostoles nga si Bernabe, nga kon sayuron “Manugpabakod.” 37 Ginbaligya ni Jose ang iya duta kag ginhatag niya ang bili sa mga apostoles.

Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin

The priests and the captain of the temple guard(A) and the Sadducees(B) came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.(C) They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail(D) until the next day. But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew(E) to about five thousand.

The next day the rulers,(F) the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas,(G) John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,(H) said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!(I) If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame(J) and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,(K) whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead,(L) that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is

“‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.’[a](M)

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”(N)

13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John(O) and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men,(P) they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.(Q) 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin(R) and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?”(S) they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign,(T) and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”

18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.(U) 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him?(V) You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking(W) about what we have seen and heard.”(X)

21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people(Y) were praising God(Z) for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

The Believers Pray

23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God.(AA) “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.(AB) 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:(AC)

“‘Why do the nations rage
    and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
against the Lord
    and against his anointed one.[b][c](AD)

27 Indeed Herod(AE) and Pontius Pilate(AF) met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus,(AG) whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.(AH) 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.(AI) 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders(AJ) through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”(AK)

31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken.(AL) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit(AM) and spoke the word of God(AN) boldly.(AO)

The Believers Share Their Possessions

32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.(AP) 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify(AQ) to the resurrection(AR) of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace(AS) was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them,(AT) brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet,(AU) and it was distributed to anyone who had need.(AV)

36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas(AW) (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.(AX)

  3. Acts 4:26 Psalm 2:1,2

And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

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.

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

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

If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

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.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

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.

22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.

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

24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

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,

28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

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.

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.

33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

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,

35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
