And while they were speaking these words to the people, the priests and the Sadducees and the rulers of the temple rose up against them;

being angry with them, that they taught the people and proclaimed in the Mashiyach about the resurrection from the dead.

And they laid hands on them and kept them until the next day, because evening was drawing near.

And many who had heard the word believed, and they were in number about five thousand men.

And the next day the rulers and the elders and the scribes assembled,

and also Chanan the high priest, and Qayafa, and Yochanan, and Aleksandros, and those who were of the kindred of the high priests.

And when they had set them in the midst, they were asking them: By what power or by what name have you done this?

Then Shimon Keefa was filled with Ruach haKodesh and said to them: Rulers of the people and elders of the house of Yisrael, hear.

If we this day are being judged by you concerning the good deed that was done to the infirm man, by what means this one was healed;

let this be known to you and to all the people of Yisrael, that by the name of Y'shua the Mashiyach the Natsraya, whom you crucified, whom Elohim raised from the house of the dead, by him this man stands before you whole.

This is the stone that you builders rejected, and it has become the head of the corner.

And there is no deliverance in any other person; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given to the sons of men by which it is necessary to live.

And when they heard the word of Shimon and of Yochanan, which they spoke openly, they understood that they were unlearned and ordinary men, and they were amazed at them, and recognized them that they had been going about with Y'shua.

And they saw that the lame man who had been healed was standing with them, and they could not say anything against them.

Then they commanded that they should go out from their assembly, and they were saying one to another:

What shall we do to these men? For look, a clear sign that has been done by their hands is known to all the inhabitants of Urishlim, and we cannot deny it.

But so that this good thing may not go out further among the people, let us threaten them that they should not speak again in this name to any of the sons of men.

And they called them and commanded them that they should not speak at all nor teach in the name of Y'shua.

Shimon Keefa and Yochanan answered and said to them: If it is right before Elohim that we listen to you more than to Elohim, you judge.

For we are not able not to speak what we have seen and heard.

And they threatened them and released them. For they found no cause to lay on their heads because of the people, for everyone was glorifying Elohim over what had happened.

For the man on whom this sign of healing had been done was more than forty years old.

And when they were released, they came to their brothers and related to them all that the priests and the elders had said.

And they, when they heard it, together lifted up their voice to Elohim and said: Master YHWH, you are Elohim who made heaven and earth and the seas and all that is in them.

And you are the one who spoke by the Ruach haKodesh through the mouth of Dawid your servant: Why have the nations raged, and the peoples plotted emptiness?

The kings of the earth have stood up, and the rulers have taken counsel together against Master YHWH and against his Mashiyach.

For in truth they have gathered in this city against your holy Son Y'shua, whom you anointed, Herodes and Pilatos with the peoples and the assembly of Yisrael,

to do all that your hand and your will beforehand marked out to take place.

And now also, Master YHWH, look and see their threats, and give to your servants that with openness they may proclaim your word,

while you stretch out your hand for healings and mighty works and signs to be done in the name of your holy Son Y'shua.

And when they prayed and made supplication, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Ruach haKodesh, and they were speaking the word of Elohim openly.

And there was to the assembly of the people who had believed one soul and one mind, and no one of them was saying of the property he possessed that it was his own, but everything that was theirs was held in common.

And with great power those apostles were testifying to the resurrection of Y'shua the Mashiyach, and great grace was with them all.

And there was no one among them who was in need, for those who possessed fields and houses were selling them and bringing the prices of what was sold,

and placing it at the feet of the apostles, and it was given to each person as he had need.

But Yosip, who by the apostles was surnamed Bar-Naba (which is interpreted Son of Consolation), a Levite from the country of Cyprus,

He had a field, and he sold it, and brought its price, and laid it before the feet of the apostles.
