7 So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them, "By what power or in what name have you done this?"
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
7 When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
7 After they had Peter and John stand before them, they asked the question: “By what power or in what name have you done this?”
7 They made Peter and John stand in front of them and began asking, "By what power or by what name did you do this?"
8 Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he replied, "Rulers and Elders of the people,
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
8 Then Peter, (c)(J)filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “(d)(K)Rulers and elders of the people,
8 Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit and said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders:(c)(D)
8 Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, told them, "Rulers and elders of the people!
9 if we to-day are under examination concerning the benefit conferred on a man helplessly lame, as to how this man has been cured;
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
9 if we are (e)on trial today for (L)a benefit done to a sick man, (f)as to how this man has been made well,
9 If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a disabled man—by what means he was healed—
9 If we are being questioned today for a good deed done for someone who was sick or to learn how this man was healed,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom *you* crucified, but whom *God* has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health.
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 Jesus is the Stone treated with contempt by you the builders, but it has been made the Cornerstone.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
11 (j)(O)He is the (P)stone which was (Q)rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone.
11 He is "the stone that was rejected by you builders, which has become the cornerstone.'
12 And in no other is the great salvation to be found; for, in fact, there is no second name under Heaven that has been given among men through which we are to be saved."
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
12 And there is salvation in (R)no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people, and we must be saved by it.”(G)
12 There is no salvation by anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved."
The Name Forbidden
13 As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken--and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools--they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
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.
13 Now as they observed the (S)confidence of (T)Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and (U)began to recognize them (k)as having been with Jesus.
13 When they observed the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and recognized that they had been with Jesus.(H)
13 Now when the Jewish leaders saw the boldness of Peter and John and found out that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and realized that they had been with Jesus.
14 And seeing the man standing with them--the man who had been cured--they had no reply to make.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.
14 And since they saw the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in response.
14 And seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could not say anything against them.
15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while they conferred among themselves.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
15 But when they had ordered them to leave the (l)(V)Council, they began to confer with one another,
15 After they had ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin, they conferred among themselves,
15 So they ordered them to leave the Council and began to discuss the matter among themselves.
16 "What are we to do with these men?" they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
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.
16 saying, “(W)What shall we do with these men? For the fact that a (X)noteworthy (m)miracle has taken place through them is apparent to all who live in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
16 saying, “What should we do with these men? For an obvious sign, evident to all who live in Jerusalem, has been done through them, and we cannot deny it!(I)
16 They said, "What should we do with these men? For it's obvious to everybody living in Jerusalem that an unmistakable sign has been done by them, and we cannot deny it.
17 But to prevent the matter spreading any further among the people, let us stop them by threats from speaking in the future in this name to any one whatever."
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.
17 But so that it will not spread any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any man (Y)in this name.”
17 However, so this does not spread any further among the people, let’s threaten them against speaking to anyone in this name again.”
17 But to keep it from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them never again to speak to anyone in this name."
18 So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching in the name of Jesus.
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
18 And when they had summoned them, they (Z)commanded them not to speak or teach at all (n)in the name of Jesus.
18 So they called for them and ordered them not to preach or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
18 So they called Peter and John back in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John replied, "Judge whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you instead of listening to God.
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.
19 But (AA)Peter and John answered and said to them, “(AB)Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge;
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it’s right in the sight of God for us to listen to you rather than to God, you decide;(J)
19 But Peter and John answered them, "You must decide whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than God,
21 The Court added further threats and then let them go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them on account of the people, because all gave God the glory for the thing that had happened.
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.
21 When they had threatened them further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) (AD)on account of the people, because they were all (AE)glorifying God for what had happened;
21 After threatening them further, they released them. They found no way to punish them, because the people were all giving glory to God over what had been done;(L)
21 So they threatened Peter and John even more and then let them go. They couldn't find any way to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened,
22 For the man was over forty years of age on whom this miracle of restoration to health had been performed.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
22 for this sign of healing had been performed on a man over 40 years old.
22 since the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than 40 years old.

27 "They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed--Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel--
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,
27 For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy (t)(AK)servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both (AL)Herod and (AM)Pontius Pilate, along with (AN)the (u)Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
27 “For, in fact, in this city both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people(h) of Israel, assembled together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,(O)

28 to do whatever Your hand and Your plan had predestined to take place.
28 to carry out everything that your hand and will had predetermined to take place.
29 And now, Lord, listen to their threats, and enable Thy servants to proclaim Thy Message with fearless courage,

The Believers Share All Things In Common
32 Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;
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.

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,
34 For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses (BA)would sell them and bring the (aa)proceeds of the sales
