TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
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.
For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
¶ And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

4:13¶ 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.

4:14And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

4:15But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

4:16Saying, 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.

4:17But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

4:18And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

4:19But 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.

4:20For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

4:21So 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.

4:29And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

4:30By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
