Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.
Acts 4 : 13 - 18
Chapter 4
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.
|
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
