Petrus und Johannes vor dem Hohen Rat

1 Während sie aber zu dem Volk redeten, kamen die Priester und der Hauptmann des Tempels und die Sadduzäer^[1] auf sie zu, (Apg 5,17) 2 empört ⟨darüber⟩, dass sie das Volk lehrten und in Jesus die Auferstehung aus den Toten verkündigten. (Apg 23,8) 3 Und sie legten Hand an sie und setzten sie in Gewahrsam bis an den Morgen, denn es war schon Abend. (Lk 21,12; Apg 5,18; Apg 12,1; Apg 16,23)

Lk 21,12Apg 5,18Apg 12,1Apg 16,23

4 Viele aber von denen, die das Wort gehört hatten, wurden gläubig; und die Zahl der Männer kam auf etwa fünftausend. (Apg 2,41) 5 Es geschah aber am folgenden Tag, dass ihre Obersten und Ältesten und Schriftgelehrten sich in Jerusalem versammelten, 6 und Hannas, der Hohe Priester, und Kaiphas und Johannes und Alexander und so viele vom hohepriesterlichen Geschlecht waren. (Lk 3,2) 7 Und nachdem sie sie in die Mitte gestellt hatten, fragten sie: In welcher Kraft oder in welchem Namen habt ihr dies getan? (Mt 21,23) 8 Da sprach Petrus, erfüllt mit Heiligem Geist, zu ihnen: Oberste des Volkes und Älteste! 9 Wenn wir heute über die Wohltat an einem kranken Menschen verhört werden, wodurch dieser geheilt worden ist, 10 so sei euch allen und dem ganzen Volk Israel kund: Im Namen Jesu Christi, des Nazoräers^[2], den ihr gekreuzigt habt, den Gott auferweckt hat aus den Toten – in diesem ⟨Namen⟩ steht dieser gesund vor euch. (Apg 2,24; Apg 3,6) 11 Das ist der Stein, der von euch, den Bauleuten, verachtet, der zum Eckstein^[3] geworden ist. (Ps 118,22; Mt 21,42) 12 Und es ist in keinem anderen das Heil^[4]; denn auch kein anderer Name unter dem Himmel ist den Menschen gegeben, in dem wir gerettet werden müssen. (Mt 1,21; Apg 5,31; Apg 13,23)

Mt 1,21Apg 5,31Apg 13,23

13 Als sie aber die Freimütigkeit des Petrus und Johannes sahen und bemerkten, dass es ungelehrte und ungebildete Leute waren, wunderten sie sich; und sie erkannten sie, dass sie mit Jesus gewesen waren. (1Kor 1,27) 14 Und da sie den Menschen, der geheilt worden war, bei ihnen stehen sahen, konnten sie nichts dagegen sagen. (Apg 3,8) 15 Nachdem sie ihnen aber befohlen hatten, aus dem Hohen Rat^[5] zu gehen, überlegten sie miteinander 16 und sagten: Was sollen wir diesen Menschen tun? Denn dass wirklich ein deutliches Zeichen durch sie geschehen ist, ist allen offenbar, die zu Jerusalem wohnen, und wir können es nicht leugnen. (Lk 6,11) 17 Aber damit es nicht weiter unter dem Volk ausgebreitet wird, wollen wir sie bedrohen, dass sie nicht mehr in diesem Namen zu irgendeinem Menschen reden. 18 Und als sie sie gerufen hatten, geboten sie ihnen, sich überhaupt nicht in dem Namen Jesu zu äußern noch zu lehren. (Apg 5,28) 19 Petrus aber und Johannes antworteten und sprachen zu ihnen: Ob es vor Gott recht ist, auf euch mehr zu hören als auf Gott, urteilt ihr! (Dan 3,18; Apg 5,29) 20 Denn es ist uns unmöglich, von dem, was wir gesehen und gehört haben, nicht zu reden. (Jer 20,9; 1Kor 9,16) 21 Sie aber bedrohten sie noch mehr und entließen sie, da sie nicht fanden, auf welche Weise sie sie bestrafen sollten, um des Volkes willen; denn alle verherrlichten Gott um dessentwillen, was geschehen war. (Mt 21,46; Lk 5,26; Apg 5,26) 22 Denn der Mensch war mehr als vierzig Jahre alt, an dem dieses Zeichen der Heilung geschehen war.

Gebet der Gemeinde

23 Als sie aber entlassen waren, kamen sie zu den Ihren und verkündeten alles, was die Hohen Priester^[6] und die Ältesten zu ihnen gesagt hatten. 24 Sie aber, als sie es hörten, erhoben einmütig ⟨ihre⟩ Stimme zu Gott und sprachen: Herrscher, du, der du den Himmel und die Erde und das Meer gemacht hast und alles, was in ihnen ist; (2Mo 20,11; Neh 9,6; Ps 95,5; Ps 146,6; Apg 14,15; Apg 17,24; Offb 10,6)

2Mo 20,11Neh 9,6Ps 95,5Ps 146,6Apg 14,15Apg 17,24Offb 10,6

25 der du durch den Heiligen Geist durch den Mund unseres Vaters, deines Knechtes David, gesagt hast: »Warum tobten die Nationen und sannen Eitles die Völker? 26 Die Könige der Erde standen auf und die Fürsten versammelten sich gegen den Herrn und seinen Gesalbten^[7].« (Ps 2,1; Lk 22,66) 27 Denn in dieser Stadt versammelten sich in Wahrheit gegen deinen heiligen Knecht Jesus, den du gesalbt hast, sowohl Herodes als ⟨auch⟩ Pontius Pilatus mit den Nationen und den Völkern Israels, (Mt 3,16; Lk 4,18; Lk 23,7; Apg 3,13; Apg 10,38)

(Apg 2,23) 29 Und nun, Herr, sieh an ihre Drohungen und gib deinen Knechten^[8], dein Wort mit aller Freimütigkeit zu reden; (Eph 6,19) 30 indem du deine Hand ausstreckst zur Heilung, dass Zeichen und Wunder geschehen durch den Namen deines heiligen Knechtes Jesus. (Apg 2,43; Apg 3,13; Apg 5,16; Hebr 2,4)

Apg 2,43Apg 3,13Apg 5,16Hebr 2,4

31 Und als sie gebetet hatten, bewegte sich die Stätte, wo sie versammelt waren; und sie wurden alle mit dem Heiligen Geist erfüllt und redeten das Wort Gottes mit Freimütigkeit. (Apg 2,4)

Gemeindeleben

32 Die Menge derer aber, die gläubig wurden, war ein Herz und eine Seele; und auch nicht einer sagte, dass etwas von seiner Habe sein eigen sei, sondern es war ihnen alles gemeinsam. (Joh 17,21; Apg 2,44) 33 Und mit großer Kraft legten die Apostel das Zeugnis von der Auferstehung des Herrn Jesus ab; und große Gnade war auf ihnen allen. (Joh 1,16; Apg 1,8; Apg 6,8) 34 Denn es war auch keiner bedürftig unter ihnen, denn so viele Besitzer von Äckern oder Häusern waren, verkauften sie und brachten den Preis des Verkauften (Apg 2,45) 35 und legten ihn nieder zu den Füßen der Apostel; es wurde aber jedem zugeteilt, so wie einer Bedürfnis hatte. (Apg 2,45) 36 Josef aber, der von den Aposteln Barnabas genannt wurde – was übersetzt heißt: Sohn des Trostes –, ein Levit, ein Zyprer von Geburt, (Apg 9,27; Apg 11,22; Apg 13,1; 1Kor 9,6; Gal 2,9)

Apg 9,27Apg 11,22Apg 13,11Kor 9,6Gal 2,9

37 der einen Acker besaß, verkaufte ihn, brachte das Geld und legte es zu den Füßen der Apostel nieder. (Apg 5,2)

Peter and John Before the Council

1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, (1Chr 9,11; Neh 11,11; Mt 22,23; Lk 22,4; Lk 22,52; Apg 5,24; Apg 5,26)

1Chr 9,11Neh 11,11Mt 22,23Lk 22,4Lk 22,52Apg 5,24Apg 5,26

2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. (Apg 3,15; Apg 17,18) 3 And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. (Lk 21,12) 4 But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand. (Apg 2,41) 5 On the next day their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem, 6 with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. (Mt 26,3; Lk 3,2; Joh 18,13; Joh 18,24)

Mt 26,3Lk 3,2Joh 18,13Joh 18,24

7 And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?” (Mt 21,23; Apg 4,10) 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, (Mt 10,20) 9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, (Apg 3,7; Apg 3,8) 10 let it be known to all of you 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 is standing before you well. (Apg 2,24; Apg 3,6) 11 This Jesus^[1] is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.^[2] (Ps 118,22; Mk 9,12; Lk 23,11) 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men^[3] by which we must be saved.” (Lk 24,47; Joh 4,22; Joh 20,31; Apg 10,43; Apg 13,26; Apg 28,28; Gal 1,7; 1Tim 2,5; Hebr 2,3; Jud 1,3)

Lk 24,47Joh 4,22Joh 20,31Apg 10,43Apg 13,26Apg 28,28Gal 1,71Tim 2,5Hebr 2,3Jud 1,3

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. (Joh 7,15) 14 But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition. (Lk 21,15; Apg 3,11) 15 But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another, 16 saying, “What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. (Joh 11,47; Joh 12,19; Apg 3,9; Apg 3,10; Apg 4,21)

Joh 11,47Joh 12,19Apg 3,9Apg 3,10Apg 4,21

17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.” (Apg 5,28; Apg 5,40) 18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, (Apg 5,29) 20 for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” (Am 3,8; Joh 15,27; Apg 22,15; 1Kor 9,16; 1Joh 1,1; 1Joh 1,3)

Am 3,8Joh 15,27Apg 22,151Kor 9,161Joh 1,11Joh 1,3

21 And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened. (Mt 21,26; Mt 21,46; Mk 11,32; Lk 20,6; Lk 20,19; Lk 22,2; Apg 3,7; Apg 3,8; Apg 5,13; Apg 5,26)

22 For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

The Believers Pray for Boldness

23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, (2Mo 20,11; 2Chr 2,12; Neh 9,6; Ps 102,25; Ps 124,8; Ps 134,3; Ps 146,6; Apg 1,14)

2Mo 20,112Chr 2,12Neh 9,6Ps 102,25Ps 124,8Ps 134,3Ps 146,6Apg 1,14

25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant,^[4] said by the Holy Spirit, “‘Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples plot in vain? (Ps 2,1; Ps 2,2) 26 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed’^[5]— (Dan 9,24; Lk 4,18; Apg 4,5; Apg 10,38; Hebr 1,9; Offb 11,15)

Dan 9,24Lk 4,18Apg 4,5Apg 10,38Hebr 1,9Offb 11,15

27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, (Mt 20,19; Mt 26,3; Mt 27,2; Lk 23,7; Apg 4,26; Apg 4,30)

Mt 20,19Mt 26,3Mt 27,2Lk 23,7Apg 4,26Apg 4,30

28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. (Jes 46,10; Apg 2,23) 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, (2Kön 19,16; Apg 4,13; Apg 9,27; Apg 9,29; Apg 13,46; Apg 14,3; Apg 18,26; Apg 19,8; Apg 28,31; Eph 6,19)

30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” (Ps 138,7; Spr 31,20; Jes 1,25; Zef 1,4; Mt 7,22; Mk 9,39; Mk 16,17; Apg 3,6; Apg 4,27)

Ps 138,7Spr 31,20Jes 1,25Zef 1,4Mt 7,22Mk 9,39Mk 16,17Apg 3,6Apg 4,27

31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. (Ps 77,18; Apg 2,2; Apg 2,4; Apg 16,26; Phil 1,14)

Ps 77,18Apg 2,2Apg 2,4Apg 16,26Phil 1,14

They Had Everything in Common

32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. (2Chr 30,12; Hes 11,19; Apg 2,44; Phil 1,27)

2Chr 30,12Hes 11,19Apg 2,44Phil 1,27

33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. (Apg 1,8; Apg 1,22; Apg 11,23) 34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold (Apg 2,45; 2Kor 8,14; 2Kor 8,15) 35 and laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need. (Apg 4,37; Apg 5,2; Apg 6,1) 36 Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus, (Mk 3,17) 37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet. (Apg 4,35)

King James Version

1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, 2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. 4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand. 5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred 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 ye done this? 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; 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. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 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. 14 And beholding the man which was 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 that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 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. 18 And 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 unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 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 nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done. 22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed. 23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 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: 25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 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, 28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. 29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 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. 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. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 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, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 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, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Arresto di Pietro e di Giovanni

1 Mentre essi parlavano al popolo, giunsero i sacerdoti, il capitano del tempio e i sadducei^[1], 2 indignati perché essi insegnavano al popolo e annunciavano in Gesù la risurrezione dai morti. 3 Misero loro le mani addosso e li gettarono in prigione fino al giorno seguente, perché era già sera. 4 Ma molti di coloro che avevano udito la Parola credettero; e il numero degli uomini salì a circa cinquemila. 5 Il giorno seguente i loro capi, con gli anziani e gli scribi, si riunirono a Gerusalemme 6 con Anna, il sommo sacerdote, Caiafa, Giovanni, Alessandro e tutti quelli che facevano parte della famiglia dei sommi sacerdoti. 7 E, fatti condurre in mezzo a loro Pietro e Giovanni, domandarono: «Con quale potere o in nome di chi avete fatto questo?» 8 Allora Pietro, pieno di Spirito Santo, disse loro: «Capi del popolo e anziani, 9 se oggi siamo esaminati a proposito di un beneficio fatto a un uomo infermo, per sapere com’è che quest’uomo è stato guarito, 10 sia noto a tutti voi e a tutto il popolo d’Israele che questo è stato fatto nel nome di Gesù Cristo, il Nazareno, che voi avete crocifisso, e che Dio ha risuscitato dai morti; è per la sua virtù che quest’uomo compare guarito in presenza vostra. 11 Egli è “la pietra che è stata da voi costruttori rifiutata, ed è divenuta la pietra angolare”^[2]. 12 In nessun altro è la salvezza; perché non vi è sotto il cielo nessun altro nome che sia stato dato agli uomini, per mezzo del quale noi dobbiamo essere salvati». 13 Essi, vista la franchezza di Pietro e di Giovanni, si meravigliavano, avendo capito che erano popolani senza istruzione; riconoscevano che erano stati con Gesù e, 14 vedendo l’uomo che era stato guarito, lì presente con loro, non potevano dire niente in contrario. 15 Ma, dopo aver ordinato loro di uscire dal sinedrio^[3], si consultarono gli uni gli altri dicendo: 16 «Che faremo a questi uomini? Che un evidente segno miracoloso sia stato fatto per mezzo di loro è noto a tutti gli abitanti di Gerusalemme, e noi non possiamo negarlo. 17 Ma, affinché ciò non si diffonda maggiormente tra il popolo, ordiniamo loro con minacce di non parlare più a nessuno nel nome di costui». 18 E, avendoli chiamati, imposero loro di non parlare né insegnare affatto nel nome di Gesù. 19 Ma Pietro e Giovanni risposero loro: «Giudicate voi se è giusto, davanti a Dio, ubbidire a voi anziché a Dio. 20 Quanto a noi, non possiamo non parlare delle cose che abbiamo viste e udite». 21 Ed essi, minacciatili di nuovo, li lasciarono andare, non trovando assolutamente come poterli punire, a causa del popolo; perché tutti glorificavano Dio per quello che era accaduto. 22 Infatti l’uomo in cui questo segno miracoloso della guarigione era stato compiuto aveva più di quarant’anni.

La chiesa riunita in preghiera

23 Rimessi quindi in libertà, vennero ai loro e riferirono tutte le cose che i capi dei sacerdoti e gli anziani avevano dette. 24 Udito ciò, essi alzarono concordi la voce a Dio e dissero: «Signore, tu sei colui che ha fatto il cielo, la terra, il mare e tutte le cose che sono in essi; 25 colui che mediante lo Spirito Santo ha detto per bocca del tuo servo Davide, nostro padre: “Perché si sono agitate le nazioni, e i popoli hanno meditato cose vane? 26 I re della terra si sono sollevati, i prìncipi si sono riuniti insieme contro il Signore e contro il suo Cristo”^[4]. 27 Proprio in questa città, contro il tuo santo servitore Gesù, che tu hai unto, si sono radunati Erode e Ponzio Pilato, insieme con le nazioni e con tutto il popolo d’Israele, 28 per fare tutte le cose che la tua volontà e il tuo consiglio avevano prestabilito che avvenissero. 29 Adesso, Signore, considera le loro minacce e concedi ai tuoi servi di annunciare la tua Parola in tutta franchezza, 30 stendendo la tua mano per guarire, perché si facciano segni e prodigi mediante il nome del tuo santo servitore Gesù». 31 Dopo che ebbero pregato, il luogo dove erano riuniti tremò; e tutti furono riempiti dello Spirito Santo, e annunciavano la Parola di Dio con franchezza.

I credenti di Gerusalemme mettono in comune i loro beni

32 La moltitudine di quelli che avevano creduto era d’un sol cuore e di un’anima sola; non vi era chi dicesse sua alcuna delle cose che possedeva, ma tutto era in comune tra di loro. 33 Gli apostoli, con grande potenza, rendevano testimonianza della risurrezione del Signore Gesù; e grande grazia era sopra tutti loro. 34 Infatti non c’era nessun bisognoso tra di loro; perché tutti quelli che possedevano poderi o case li vendevano, portavano l’importo delle cose vendute 35 e lo deponevano ai piedi degli apostoli; poi veniva distribuito a ciascuno, secondo il bisogno. 36 Ora Giuseppe, soprannominato dagli apostoli Barnaba (che tradotto vuol dire: «figlio di consolazione»), Levita, cipriota di nascita, 37 avendo un campo, lo vendette e ne consegnò il ricavato, deponendolo ai piedi degli apostoli.
