Act 4:1Loquentibus autem illīs ad populum, supervēnērunt sacerdōtēs, et magistrātūs templī, et sadducaeī, dolentēs quod docērent populum, et annūntiārent in Jēsū resurrēctiōnem ex mortuīs: et injēcērunt in eōs manūs, et posuērunt eōs in custōdiam in crāstinum: erat enim jam vespera.But while they were speaking to the people, there came upon them the priests, and the officer of the temple, and the Sadducees, grieved that they were teaching the people, and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead: and they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day: for it was already evening. Act 4:4Multī autem eōrum quī audierant verbum, crēdidērunt: et factus est numerus virōrum quīnque mīllia.But many of those who had heard the word believed: and the number of the men became five thousand. Act 4:5Factum est autem in crāstinum, ut congregārentur prīncipēs eōrum, et seniōrēs, et scrībae, in Jerūsalem: et Annās prīnceps sacerdōtum, et Caiphās, et Jōannēs, et Alexander, et quotquot erant dē genere sacerdōtālī.And it came about on the next day, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes were gathered in Jerusalem: and Annas the chief of the priests, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the priestly family.
Act 4:7Et statuentēs eōs in mediō, interrogābant: In quā virtūte, aut in quō nōmine fēcistis hoc vōs?And setting them in the midst, they were asking: "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?" Act 4:8Tunc replētus Spīritū Sānctō Petrus, dīxit ad eōs: Prīncipēs populī, et seniōrēs, audīte: sī nōs hodiē dījūdicāmur in benefactō hominis īnfirmī, in quō iste salvus factus est, notum sit omnibus vōbīs, et omnī plēbī Isrāël, quia in nōmine Dominī nostrī Jēsū Chrīstī Nazarēnī, quem vōs crucifīxistis, quem Deus suscitāvit ā mortuīs, in hōc iste astat cōram vōbīs sānus.Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers of the people, and elders, hear: if we today are being examined over a good deed to a sick man, by which this man has been made well, let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised up from the dead, in this name this man stands before you sound. Act 4:11Hic est lapis quī reprobātus est ā vōbīs aedificantibus, quī factus est in caput angulī: et nōn est in aliō aliquō salūs.This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which has become the head of the corner: and there is not salvation in any other.
Act 4:12Nec enim aliud nōmen est sub caelō datum hominibus, in quō oporteat nōs salvōs fierī.For neither is there another name under heaven given to men, in which we must be saved." Act 4:13Videntēs autem Petrī cōnstantiam, et Jōannis, compertō quod hominēs essent sine litterīs, et idiōtae, admīrābantur, et cognōscēbant eōs quoniam cum Jēsū fuerant: hominem quoque videntēs stantem cum eīs, quī cūrātus fuerat, nihil poterant contrādīcere.But seeing the steadfastness of Peter, and of John, having found out that they were men without letters, and unlearned, they were wondering, and they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus: seeing also the man standing with them, who had been cured, they could say nothing against it. Act 4:15Jussērunt autem eōs forās extrā concilium sēcēdere: et cōnferēbant ad invicem, dīcentēs: Quid faciēmus hominibus istīs?But they ordered them to withdraw outside, out of the council: and they were conferring with one another, saying: "What shall we do to these men? Act 4:16Quoniam quidem notum signum factum est per eōs omnibus habitantibus Jerūsalem: manifestum est, et nōn possumus negāre.For indeed a known sign has been done through them, to all those living in Jerusalem: it is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
Act 4:17Sed nē amplius dīvulgētur in populum, comminēmur eīs nē ultrā loquantur in nōmine hōc ūllī hominum.But so that it may not be spread further among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no longer in this name to any of mankind." Act 4:18Et vocantēs eōs, dēnūntiāvērunt nē omnīnō loquerentur neque docērent in nōmine Jēsū.And calling them, they gave them notice not to speak at all nor to teach in the name of Jesus. Act 4:19Petrus vērō et Jōannēs respondentēs, dīxērunt ad eōs: Sī jūstum est in cōnspectū Deī vōs potius audīre quam Deum, jūdicāte.But Peter and John, answering, said to them: "Whether it is just in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you judge. Act 4:20Nōn enim possumus quae vīdimus et audīvimus nōn loquī.For we cannot not speak the things which we have seen and heard." Act 4:21At illī comminantēs dīmīsērunt eōs, nōn invenientēs quōmodo pūnīrent eōs propter populum: quia omnēs clārificābant id quod factum fuerat in eō quod acciderat.But they, threatening them, released them, not finding how they might punish them, on account of the people: because all were glorifying that which had been done in what had happened.
Act 4:22Annōrum enim erat amplius quadrāgintā homō, in quō factum fuerat signum istud sānitātis.For the man was of more than forty years, in whom this sign of healing had been done. Act 4:23Dīmissī autem vēnērunt ad suōs, et annūntiāvērunt eīs quanta ad eōs prīncipēs sacerdōtum et seniōrēs dīxissent.And having been released they came to their own, and announced to them how much the chiefs of the priests and the elders had said to them. Act 4:24Quī cum audīssent, ūnanimiter levāvērunt vōcem ad Deum, et dīxērunt: Domine, tū es quī fēcistī caelum et terram, mare et omnia quae in eīs sunt: quī Spīritū Sānctō per ōs patris nostrī David puerī tuī dīxistī: [Quārē fremuērunt gentēs, et populī meditātī sunt inānia?And they, when they had heard, with one mind lifted their voice to God, and said: "Lord, you are the one who made heaven and earth, the sea and all things which are in them: who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said: 'Why have the nations raged, and the peoples meditated empty things? Act 4:26Astitērunt rēgēs terrae, et prīncipēs convēnērunt in ūnum adversus Dominum, et adversus Chrīstum ejus.] Convēnērunt enim vērē in cīvitāte istā adversus sānctum puerum tuum Jēsum, quem ūnxistī, Hērōdēs et Pontius Pīlātus, cum gentibus et populīs Isrāël, facere quae manus tua et cōnsilium tuum dēcrēvērunt fierī.The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers came together into one against the Lord, and against his Christ.' For truly there came together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations and peoples of Israel, to do the things which your hand and your counsel decreed to be done.
Act 4:29Et nunc, Domine, respice in minās eōrum, et dā servīs tuīs cum omnī fīdūciā loquī verbum tuum, in eō quod manum tuam extendās ad sānitātēs, et signa, et prōdigia fierī per nōmen sānctī fīliī tuī Jēsū.And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all confidence, in that you stretch out your hand for healings, and for signs and wonders to be done through the name of your holy son Jesus." Act 4:31Et cum ōrāssent, mōtus est locus in quō erant congregātī: et replētī sunt omnēs Spīritū Sānctō, et loquēbantur verbum Deī cum fīdūciā.And when they had prayed, the place in which they had been gathered was shaken: and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they were speaking the word of God with confidence. Act 4:32Multitūdinis autem crēdentium erat cor ūnum et anima ūna: nec quisquam eōrum quae possidēbat, aliquid suum esse dīcēbat, sed erant illīs omnia commūnia.And of the multitude of those believing there was one heart and one soul: nor did anyone say that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them.
Act 4:33Et virtūte magnā reddēbant Apostolī testimōnium resurrēctiōnis Jēsū Chrīstī Dominī nostrī: et grātia magna erat in omnibus illīs.And with great power the Apostles were giving back testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord: and great grace was upon all of them. Act 4:34Neque enim quisquam egēns erat inter illōs.For neither was anyone needy among them. Act 4:34Quotquot enim possessōrēs agrōrum aut domōrum erant, vēndentēs afferēbant pretia eōrum quae vēndēbant, et pōnēbant ante pedēs Apostolōrum.For as many as were possessors of fields or of houses, selling them were bringing the prices of the things which they were selling, and were placing them before the feet of the Apostles. Act 4:35Dīvidēbātur autem singulīs prōut cuique opus erat.And it was being divided to each according as each one had need. Act 4:36Jōsēph autem, quī cognōminātus est Barnabas ab Apostolīs (quod est interpretātum, Fīlius cōnsōlātiōnis), Lēvītēs, Cyprius genere, cum habēret agrum, vēndidit eum, et attulit pretium, et posuit ante pedēs Apostolōrum.Now Joseph, who was surnamed Barnabas by the Apostles (which is translated, Son of consolation), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth, since he had a field, sold it, and brought the price, and placed it before the feet of the Apostles.
