Acts 4:5–13

⁵On the next day, their ^arulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;

⁶and ^aAnnas the high priest was there, and ^bCaiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent.

⁷When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

⁸Then Peter, ^1afilled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “^2bRulers and elders of the people,

⁹if we are ¹on trial today for ^aa benefit done to a sick man, ²as to how this man has been made well,

¹⁰let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that ^1aby the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom ^bGod raised from the dead—by ²this name this man stands here before you in good health.

¹¹“^1aHe is the ^bstone which was ^crejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone.

¹²“And there is salvation in ^ano one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Threat and Release

¹³Now as they observed the ^aconfidence of ^bPeter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and ^cbegan to recognize them ¹as having been with Jesus.
