³² And we have appointed for ourselves commands, to put on ourselves the third of a shekel in a year, for the service of the house of our God, ³³ for bread of the arrangement, and the continual present, and the continual burnt-offering of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for appointed seasons, and for holy things, and for sin-offerings, to make atonement for Israel, even all the work of the house of our God. ³⁴ And the lots we have caused to fall for the offering of wood, 'among' the priests, the Levites, and the people, to bring in to the house of our God, by the house of our fathers, at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law, ³⁵ and to bring in the first fruits of our ground, and the first fruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of Jehovah, ³⁶ and the firstlings of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and our flocks, to bring in to the house of our God, to the priests who are ministering in the house of our God. ³⁷ And the beginning of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of every tree, of new wine, and of oil, we bring in to the priests, unto the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithe of our ground to the Levites; and they—the Levites—have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage; ³⁸ and the priest, son of Aaron, hath been with the Levites in the tithing of the Levites, and the Levites bring up the tithe of the tithe to the house of our God unto the chambers, to the treasure-house; ³⁹ for unto the chambers do they bring in—the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi—the heave-offering of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, and there 'are' vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests, those ministering, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and we do not forsake the house of our God.

Peter and John before the Council

4¹ And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees— ² being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead— ³ and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already; ⁴ and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.

⁵ And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem, ⁶ and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest, ⁷ and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, 'In what power, or in what name did ye do this?' ⁸ Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, ⁹ if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved, ¹⁰ be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole. ¹¹ 'This is the stone that was set at nought by you—the builders, that became head of a corner; ¹² and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.' ¹³ And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering—they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been— ¹⁴ and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against 'it',

¹⁵ and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another, ¹⁶ saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem 'is' manifest, and we are not able to deny 'it'; ¹⁷ but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.' ¹⁸ And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus, ¹⁹ and Peter and John answering unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye; ²⁰ for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.' ²¹ And they having further threatened 'them', let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done, ²² for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.
