¹ Y fueron acabados los cielos y la tierra, y todo su ornamento.

² Y acabó Dios en el día séptimo su obra que hizo, y reposó el día séptimo de toda su obra que había hecho.

³ Y bendijo Dios al día séptimo, y lo santificó, porque en él reposó de toda su obra que había creado Dios en perfección.

⁴ Estos son los orígenes de los cielos y de la tierra cuando fueron creados, el día que el SEÑOR Dios hizo la tierra y los cielos,

⁵ y toda planta del campo antes que fuese en la tierra, y toda hierba del campo antes que naciese; porque el SEÑOR Dios aún no había hecho llover sobre la tierra, ni aun había hombre para que labrase la tierra;

⁶ Y un vapor subía de la tierra, que regaba toda la faz de la tierra.

⁷ Formó, pues, El SEÑOR Dios al hombre del polvo de la tierra, y sopló en su nariz el aliento de vida; y fue el hombre un alma viviente.

⁸ Y había plantado el SEÑOR Dios un huerto en Edén al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que formó.

⁹ Había también hecho producir el SEÑOR Dios de la tierra todo árbol deseable a la vista, y bueno para comer, y el árbol de vida en medio del huerto, y el árbol de la ciencia del bien y del mal.

¹⁰ Y salía un río de Edén para regar el huerto, y de allí se repartía en cuatro cabezas.

¹¹ El nombre del uno era Pisón; éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Havila, donde hay oro;

¹² y el oro de aquella tierra es bueno; hay allí también bedelio y piedra cornerina.

¹³ El nombre del segundo río es Gihón; éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Etiopía.

¹⁴ Y el nombre del tercer río es Hidekel; éste es el que va hacia el oriente de Asiria. Y el cuarto río es el Eufrates.

¹⁵ Tomó, pues, el SEÑOR Dios al hombre, y le puso en el huerto de Edén, para que lo labrase y lo guardase.

¹⁶ Y mandó el SEÑOR Dios al hombre, diciendo: De todo árbol del huerto comerás;

¹⁷ mas del árbol de la ciencia del bien y del mal, no comerás de él; porque el día que de él comieres, morirás.

¹⁸ Y dijo el SEÑOR Dios: No es bueno que el hombre esté solo; le haré ayuda que esté delante de él.

¹⁹ Formó, pues, el SEÑOR Dios de la tierra toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y las trajo a Adán, para que viese cómo les había de llamar; y todo lo que Adán llamó al alma viviente, es ese su nombre.

²⁰ Y puso Adán nombres a toda bestia y ave de los cielos, y a todo animal del campo; mas para Adán no halló ayuda que estuviese delante de él.

²¹ Y el SEÑOR Dios hizo caer sueño sobre el hombre, y se adormeció; entonces tomó una de sus costillas, y cerró la carne en su lugar;

²² y edificó el SEÑOR Dios la costilla que tomó del hombre, en mujer, y la trajo al hombre.

²³ Y dijo el hombre: Esta vez, hueso de mis huesos, y carne de mi carne; ésta será llamada Varona, porque del Varón fue tomada.

²⁴ Por tanto, el varón dejará a su padre y a su madre, y se allegará a su mujer, y serán por una carne.

²⁵ Y estaban ambos desnudos, Adán y su mujer, y no se avergonzaban.

¹ As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

² being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

³ They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

⁴ But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

⁵ It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

⁶ Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

⁷ When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

⁹ if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.

¹¹ He is 'the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.'

¹² There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁴ Seeing the man who 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? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can't deny it.

¹⁷ But so that this spreads no further among the people, let's threaten them, that from now on they don't speak to anyone in this name."

¹⁸ They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach 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, judge for yourselves,

²⁰ for we can't help telling the things which we saw and heard."

²¹ When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

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

²³ Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

²⁴ When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

²⁵ who by the mouth of your servant, David, said, 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

²⁶ The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.'

²⁷ "For truly, in this city 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 council foreordained to happen.

²⁹ Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

³⁰ while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."

³¹ When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

³² The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

³³ With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

³⁴ For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners 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 distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

³⁶ Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

³⁷ having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
