Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were illiterate, and of the lower rank of men, they were surpriz'd; but tho' they knew that they had been Jesus's disciples,

but seeing the man that was cured standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

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

However, so this does not spread any further among the people, let’s threaten them against speaking to anyone in this name again.”

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;

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

But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place;

But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him.

After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, but she did not know what had happened.

But when the temple police got there, they did not find them in the jail, so they returned and reported,

“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing in front of the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

But someone came [and] reported to them, "Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple [courts] and teaching the people!"

Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, but without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
