‘For You will not forsake me and abandon my soul to Hades (the realm of the dead),
Nor let Your Holy One undergo decay [after death].

But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king,

he foresaw and spoke [prophetically] of the resurrection of the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), that He was not abandoned [in death] to Hades (the realm of the dead), nor did His body undergo decay.

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.

And the rulers were assembled together
Against the Lord and against His Anointed (the Christ, the Messiah).’

to do all that your hand and plan had predestined to take place.

in that thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders take place through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.

And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband.

And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.

Then the high priest took action. He and all his colleagues, those who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.

And they took the Apostles and put them in the common prison.

But in the night an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison, took them out and said,

“Go, stand and continue to tell the people in the temple [courtyards] the whole message of this Life [the eternal life revealed by Christ and found through faith in Him].”

When they heard this, they went into the temple [courtyards] about daybreak and began teaching.

Now when the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court), even all the council of elders of the sons of Israel, and sent word to the prison for the apostles to be brought [before them].

Then came one and showed them, "Behold, the men that ye put in prison stand in the temple, and teach the people."

Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.

And they took them into the Sanhedrin, and the high priest said to them,

God took him up to his right hand as our leader and savior, in order to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

but if it is of God, you can not bring it to an end: and take heed, lest you be found fighting also against God.

The Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) took his advice; and after summoning the apostles, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

"[And when] these patriarchs, [still living in Canaan as young men], became jealous of [their brother] Joseph, they sold him [as a slave to traveling merchants who took him] to Egypt. But God was with him [during all that time],

And took him out of all his pressures, and gave him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and set him leader over Egypt and his whole house.

This man deceitfully took advantage of our people [and] mistreated our ancestors, {causing them to abandon their infants} so that they would not be kept alive.
