In Acts 4:18, the adverb occurs in the order forbidding speech and teaching in the name of Jesus; the APB renders the clause "not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 4:18, the APB presents the prohibition with "at all." This rendering confirms the clause's total restriction rather than establishing a finer distinction.
