Acts 4:5–13

Peter and John on Trial Before the Sanhedrin

⁵And it happened that on the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes came together in Jerusalem, ⁶and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all those who were from the high priest’s family. ⁷And they made them stand in their^* midst and^* began to ask,^* “By what power or by what name did you do this?” ⁸Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, ⁹if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a sick man—by what means^a this man was healed—¹⁰let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man stands before you healthy! ¹¹This one^b is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, that has become the cornerstone.^{c 12}And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved.”

¹³Now when they^* saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were astonished, and recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.
