Acts chapter's 4-6 is Today's Bible Reading. NKJV Flow.Page/BibleACTS 4Peter and John Arrested.1 Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.Addressing the Sanhedrin.5 And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, 6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family 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 you done this?”8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, 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 stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”The Name of Jesus Forbidden.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. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 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 no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done. 22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.Prayer for Boldness.23 And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said:‘Why did the nations rage,And the people plot vain things?26 The kings of the earth took their stand,And the rulers were gathered togetherAgainst the Lord and against His Christ.’27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.Sharing in All Things.32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.ACTS 5Lying to the Holy Spirit.1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”She said, “Yes, for so much.”9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.Continuing Power in the Church.12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. 13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.Imprisoned Apostles Freed.17 Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with indignation, 18 and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”21 And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest and those with him came and called the council together, with all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.Apostles on Trial Again.22 But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported, 23 saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” 24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they wondered what the outcome would be. 25 So one came and told them, saying, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, 28 saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!”29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. 31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”Gamaliel’s Advice.33 When they heard this, they were furious and plotted to kill them. 34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men. 36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed. 38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; 39 but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”40 And they agreed with him, and when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.ACTS 6Seven Chosen to Serve.1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.7 Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.Stephen Accused of Blasphemy.8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council. 13 They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.” 15 And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.#AmenRead Thru The Bible Together.The bible is made of 66 books.The old testament has 39 books.The new testament has 27 books.We will be reading theNew Testament over the next 90 days together.Like, share, follow, and readBible 2GOIt is OUR prayer that youCome to know Jesus,Love and worship Jesus,Daily pray to Jesus,And share with others what Jesus has done for you, amen.#Bible2GO #Bible #BibleToGo #BibleReadingLast But Not Least ☆facebook.com/notes/bible-2go/how-to-become-a-christian-/2522729634478412/Read thru the New Testament in 90 days.A printable, usable schedule. □ Day 1 Matthew 1-4□ Day 2 Matthew 5-6□ Day 3 Matthew 7-9□ Day 4 Matthew 10-12□ Day 5 Matthew 13-14□ Day 6 Matthew 15-17□ Day 7 Matthew 18-20□ Day 8 Matthew 21-22□ Day 9 Matthew 23-24□ Day 10 Matthew 25-26□ Day 11 Matthew 27-28□ Day 12 Mark 1-3□ Day 13 Mark 4-5□ Day 14 Mark 6-7□ Day 15 Mark 8-9□ Day 16 Mark 10-11□ Day 17 Mark 12-13□ Day 18 Mark 14-16□ Day 19 Luke 1□ Day 20 Luke 2-3□ Day 21 Luke 4-5□ Day 22 Luke 6-7□ Day 23 Luke 8□ Day 24 Luke 9□ Day 25 Luke 10-11□ Day 26 Luke 12-13□ Day 27 Luke 14-16□ Day 28 Luke 17-18□ Day 29 Luke 19-20□ Day 30 Luke 21-22□ Day 31 Luke 23-24□ Day 32 John 1-3□ Day 33 John 4-5□ Day 34 John 6-7□ Day 35 John 8-9□ Day 36 John 10-11□ Day 36 John 12-13□ Day 37 John 14-16□ Day 38 John 17-18□ Day 39 John 19-21□ Day 40 Acts 1-3□ Day 41 Acts 4-6□ Day 42 Acts 7-8□ Day 43 Acts 9-10□ Day 44 Acts 11-13□ Day 45 Acts 14-16□ Day 46 Acts 17-18□ Day 47 Acts 19-20□ Day 48 Acts 21-22□ Day 49 Acts 23-25□ Day 50 Acts 26-28□ Day 51 Romans 1-3□ Day 52 Romans 4-7□ Day 53 Romans 8-10□ Day 54 Romans 11-14□ Day 55 Romans 15-16□ Day 56 1 Corinthians 1-4□ Day 57 1 Corinthians 5-8□ Day 58 1 Corinthians 9-11□ Day 59 1 Corinthians 12-14□ Day 60 1 Corinthians 15-16□ Day 61 2 Corinthians 1-4□ Day 62 2 Corinthians 5-8□ Day 63 2 Corinthians 9-13□ Day 64 Galations 1-4□ Day 65 Galations 5-6□ Day 66 Ephesians 1-3□ Day 67 Ephesians 4-6□ Day 68 Philippians 1-4□ Day 69 Colossians 1-4□ Day 70 1 Thessalonians 1-4□ Day 71 1 Thessalonians 5 2 Thessalonians 1-3□ Day 72 1 Timothy 1-4□ Day 73 1 Timothy 5-6□ Day 74 2 Timothy 1-4□ Day 75 Titus 1-3 Philemon □ Day 76 Hebrews 1-5□ Day 77 Hebrews 6-9□ Day 78 Hebrews 10-11□ Day 79 Hebrews 12-13□ Day 80 James 1-5□ Day 81 1 Peter 1-4□ Day 82 1 Peter 5 2 Peter 1-3□ Day 83 1 John 1-5□ Day 84 2 John 3 John Jude□ Day 85 Revelation 1-3□ Day 86 Revelation 4-8□ Day 87 Revelation 9-12□ Day 88 Revelation 13-16□ Day 89 Revelation 17-19□ Day 90 Revelation 20-22You have completed reading The New Testament Bible.There are 31 Proverbs.Proverbs is the book of wisdom.
