Acts 4:1–20

And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the ^aSadducees, came upon them, ^2bbeing grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus ^cthe resurrection from the dead. ³And ^dthey laid hands on them, and put them in ^ehold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. ⁴Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was ^fabout five thousand. ⁵And it came to pass on the morrow, that their ^grulers, and elders, and scribes, ⁶and ^hAnnas the high priest, and ⁱCaiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. ⁷And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, ^kBy what power, or by what name, have ye done this? ⁸Then Peter, ^lfilled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye ^grulers of the people, and elders of Israel, ⁹if we this day be ^mexamined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is ⁿmade whole; ¹⁰be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that ^oby the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom ^pGod raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. ¹¹This is ^qthe stone which was ^rset at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. ^12sNeither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

¹³Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and ^tJohn, and ^uperceived that they were unlearned and ^xignorant men, they marvelled; and ^ythey took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. ¹⁴And beholding the man which was healed ^zstanding with them, they could say nothing against it. ¹⁵But when they had commanded them to go aside out of ^athe council, they conferred among themselves, ¹⁶saying, ^bWhat shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is ^cmanifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷But that it spread no further among the people, let us ^dstraitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. ¹⁸And they ^ecalled them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹But Peter and John answered and said unto them, ^fWhether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. ²⁰For ^gwe cannot but speak the things which ^hwe have seen and heard.
