使徒行傳 5:12-32

12 主藉使徒的手在民間行了許多神蹟奇事。他們都同心合意地在所羅門的廊下。 13 其餘的人沒有一個敢貼近他們，百姓卻尊重他們。 14 信而歸主的人越發增添，連男帶女很多。 15 甚至有人將病人抬到街上，放在床上或褥子上，指望彼得過來的時候，或者得他的影兒照在什麼人身上。 16 還有許多人帶著病人和被汙鬼纏磨的，從耶路撒冷四圍的城邑來，全都得了醫治。

17 大祭司和他的一切同人，就是撒都該教門的人，都起來，滿心忌恨， 18 就下手拿住使徒，收在外監。

19 但主的使者夜間開了監門，領他們出來， 20 說：「你們去站在殿裡，把這生命的道都講給百姓聽。」 21 使徒聽了這話，天將亮的時候就進殿裡去教訓人。大祭司和他的同人來了，叫齊公會的人和以色列族的眾長老，就差人到監裡去，要把使徒提出來。 22 但差役到了，不見他們在監裡，就回來稟報說： 23 「我們看見監牢關得極妥當，看守的人也站在門外，及至開了門，裡面一個人都不見。」 24 守殿官和祭司長聽見這話，心裡犯難，不知這事將來如何。 25 有一個人來稟報說：「你們收在監裡的人，現在站在殿裡教訓百姓！」 26 於是守殿官和差役去帶使徒來，並沒有用強暴，因為怕百姓用石頭打他們。

27 帶到了，便叫使徒站在公會前。大祭司問他們說： 28 「我們不是嚴嚴地禁止你們，不可奉這名教訓人嗎？你們倒把你們的道理充滿了耶路撒冷，想要叫這人的血歸到我們身上！」

29 彼得和眾使徒回答說：「順從神不順從人，是應當的。 30 你們掛在木頭上殺害的耶穌，我們祖宗的神已經叫他復活。 31 神且用右手將他高舉，叫他做君王、做救主，將悔改的心和赦罪的恩賜給以色列人。 32 我們為這事作見證，神賜給順從之人的聖靈也為這事作見證。」

Acts 5:12-32

12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. 13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

17 Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with indignation, 18 and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”

21 And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest and those with him came and called the council together, with all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

22 But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported, 23 saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” 24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they wondered what the outcome would be. 25 So one came and told them, saying, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”

26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, 28 saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!”

29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. 31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
