\subsection{Acts 4}
\VS{1} Now while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of 
the temple and the Sadducees approached them, 
\VS{2} [greatly] annoyed because of 
their teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the 
dead, 
\VS{3} and they put [their] hands upon them and placed them in prison to 
[the] morrow; for it was already evening. 
\VS{4} Now many of those having heard 
the word believed, and the number of men became [about] five thousand.

\VS{5} Now it came [about] on the morrow [there were] gathered of them the rulers and the elders and the scribes in Jerusalem, 
\VS{6} and Annas the chief priest and 
Caiaphas and John and Alexander and as many as were of the 
generation\footnote{or ``relatives'', ``descendants''} of chief priests, 
\VS{7} and having stood them in the midst they were questioning them: 
In\footnote{or ``By''} what sort of name do you do this? 
\VS{8} And then 
Peter having been filled of the Holy Spirit said to them: Rulers and elders 
of the people, 
\VS{9} if we today are judged weak upon the good-deeds of 
men, by which this [one] is saved, 
\VS{10} let\fnImperative{} it be known 
to all you and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ 
the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from [the] dead, in\footnote{or 
``by''} this [one] does this [lame one] stand before you healthy. 
\VS{11} This is the stone 
rejected by you the builders, the [one] having become the chief cornerstone\footnote{Ps.118:22}. 
\VS{12} And salvation is in\footnote{or ``by''} \negd{no} other; for 
neither is there another name given under in which you must\footnote{i.e. 
absolutely will} be saved. 
\VS{13} Now seeing the boldness of Peter and 
John, and understanding that they are unlettered and unskilled men, they 
were marveling, and they were knowing that they were with Jesus, 
\VS{14} and 
seeing the man having been healed standing with them, they had nothing to 
criticize. 
\VS{15} So having commanded them to go out from the council, they 
conferred with each other 
\VS{16} saying: What should we do to these men? 
For indeed it is today become known through them, manifest to all those 
dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it. 
\VS{17} But in order 
that it not be more distributed to the crowd, let us threaten them to 
\negd{no longer} be speaking upon this name to any men. 
\VS{18} And having called them they commanded [them] completely 
not to be uttering nor to be teaching upon the name of Jesus. 
\VS{19} But Peter and John answering said 
to them: If it is just before God, to be hearing\footnote{i.e. ``obeying''} 
you rather than God, [you] judge. 
\VS{20} For we are not able to not be speaking 
[about] what we have seen and heard. 
\VS{21} So having further threatened [them] they 
dismissed them out, finding nothing [as to] how they many punish them, because of 
the people, for everyone was glorifying God upon the [things] having come to pass, 
\VS{22} for the man was more than forty years [old] upon whom came to pass this 
sign of healing. 
\VS{23} So having been dismissed, they came to their own 
and reported to them as much as the chief priests and elders said to them. 
\VS{24} So having heard, they with one purpose raised [their] voice to God and 
said: Lord\fnDespotes(), you [are] the [one] having made the heaven and the earth and everything in them, 
\VS{25} the [one] having said from the mouth of our father 
David your child through the Holy Spirit\footnote{Ps.2:1-2}:

\begin{verse}
Why have the nations raged \\
And the peoples conspire empty [things]? \\
\VS{26} The kings of the land have taken [their] stand \\
Against the Lord and against his anointed\footnote{[CHRISTOS]} [one].
\end{verse}

\VS{27} For they were in truth gathered in this city against your holy child 
Jesus, whom you anointed, and Herod and Pontius Pilate with the nations and 
peoples of Israel, 
\VS{28} to do as much as your hand and your intention 
predestined to come to pass. 
\VS{29} And with respect to now, Lord, look 
upon their threats, and give to your slaves with all boldness to be speaking 
your word, 
\VS{30} when you be stretching out [your] hand to healings and signs 
and wonders to come to pass through the name [of your] holy child Jesus. 
\VS{31} And 
when they had asked, the place in which they were gathered shook, and they 
were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they were speaking the word of God 
with boldness. 
\VS{32} Now the multitudes of those having believed were of 
one heart and psyche-life\fnPsyche{}, and [there was] not one possessing anything to him [who] was saying he 
was having his own [thing], but they were having everything common. 
\VS{33} And 
with great powers were the apostles of the Lord Jesus giving witness of the 
resurrection, and great joy was upon them all. 
\VS{34} For neither was any 
impoverished among them, for as many as were possessors of lands or houses, 
having sold [them] they were bringing the price of the [things] being sold, 
\VS{35} and 
were placing them beside the feet of the apostles, and they were 
distributing to each to the degree anyone had need. 
\VS{36} And Joseph the 
[one] called Barnabbas by the apostles, which is being translated Son of 
Encouragement, [a] Levite, of the people of Cypris, 
\VS{37} possessing to him 
[a] field, having sold [it], brought the money and placed it before the feet of the 
apostles.
