Acts 4:1-10 ▼

1 AND as they were thus speaking, the priests, and the captain of the temple-guard, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

2 worn down with vexation, because they taught the people, and preached by Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

3 And they laid hands on them, and committed them to prison till the next day: for it was then evening.

4 But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

5 Now it came to pass that the next morning, their rulers, and elders, and scribes, were assembled at Jerusalem,

6 and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were the high-priest's relations.

7 And placing them in the midst, they interrogated them, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this thing?

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

9 if we are this day examined relative to the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was restored;

10 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence.
