使徒行傳 4:5-22

5 第二天，官府、長老和文士在耶路撒冷聚會， 6 又有大祭司亞那和該亞法、約翰、亞歷山大，並大祭司的親族都在那裡， 7 叫使徒站在當中，就問他們說：「你們用什麼能力，奉誰的名做這事呢？」 8 那時彼得被聖靈充滿，對他們說： 9 「治民的官府和長老啊，倘若今日因為在殘疾人身上所行的善事，查問我們他是怎麼得了痊癒， 10 你們眾人和以色列百姓都當知道：站在你們面前的這人得痊癒，是因你們所釘十字架、神叫他從死裡復活的拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名。

11 「他是『你們匠人所棄的石頭，已成了房角的頭塊石頭』。 12 除他以外，別無拯救，因為在天下人間，沒有賜下別的名我們可以靠著得救。」

13 他們見彼得、約翰的膽量，又看出他們原是沒有學問的小民，就稀奇，認明他們是跟過耶穌的。 14 又看見那治好了的人和他們一同站著，就無話可駁。 15 於是吩咐他們從公會出去，就彼此商議說： 16 「我們當怎樣辦這兩個人呢？因為他們誠然行了一件明顯的神蹟，凡住耶路撒冷的人都知道，我們也不能說沒有。 17 唯恐這事越發傳揚在民間，我們必須恐嚇他們，叫他們不再奉這名對人講論。」 18 於是叫了他們來，禁止他們總不可奉耶穌的名講論、教訓人。 19 彼得、約翰說：「聽從你們不聽從神，這在神面前合理不合理，你們自己酌量吧！ 20 我們所看見、所聽見的，不能不說。」 21 官長為百姓的緣故，想不出法子刑罰他們，又恐嚇一番，把他們釋放了。這是因眾人為所行的奇事都歸榮耀於神。 22 原來藉著神蹟醫好的那人有四十多歲了。

Acts 4:5-22

5 And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, 6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”

18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done. 22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.
