DAY 4 FOR A GOAL OF READING THE BOOK OF ACTS IN 30 DAYS
AC-4:9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the
impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
AC-4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of
Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified,
whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand
here before you whole.
AC-4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you
builders,
which is become the head of the corner.
AC-4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.
AC-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.
AC-4:14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with
them,
they could say nothing against it.
AC-4:15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the
council, they conferred among themselves,
AC-4:16 Saying, 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].
AC-4:17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us
straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in
this
name.
AC-4:18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at
all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
AC-4:19 But 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.
AC-4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen
and
heard.
AC-4:21 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.
AC-4:22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this
miracle
of healing was showed.
AC-4:23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and
reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto
them.
AC-4:24 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:
AC-4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did
the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
AC-4:26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were
gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
AC-4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou
hast
anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and
the
people of Israel, were gathered together,
AC-4:28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined
before to be done.
AC-4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto
thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
AC-4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs
and
wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
AC-4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where
they
were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
AC-4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one
heart
and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the
things
which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
AC-4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them
all.
AC-4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as
many
as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the
prices of the things that were sold,
AC-4:35 And laid [them] down at the apostles' feet: and
distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
AC-4:36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,
(which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite,
[and] of the country of Cyprus,
AC-4:37 Having land, sold [it], and brought the money, and laid
[it] at the apostles' feet.
*AC-5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife,
sold a possession,
AC-5:2 And kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being
privy
[to it], and brought a certain part, and laid [it], at the
apostles'
feet.
AC-5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine
heart
to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of
the land?
AC-5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it
was
sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this
thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
AC-5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up
the
ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
