Acts 4:1-12 ▼

1 And they speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees rose up against them,

2 being grieved because they were teaching the people and preaching the resurrection of the dead through Jesus;

3 and they laid hands on them and put them in prison till the morrow; for it was already evening.

4 And many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of men was about five thousand.

5 And it came to pass on the morrow, the rulers and elders and scribes

6 assembled in Jerusalem, and Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and so many as were of the family of the high priest.

7 And having set them in the midst, asked them, By what power or in what name have you done this?

8 Then Peter being full of the Holy Spirit said to them, Ye rulers of the people and elders,

9 if we are this day judged for the benefaction of the impotent man, by whom he has been saved,

10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, through him this man now stands sound in your presence.

11 This is the stone rejected by your builders, which has become the head of the corner.

12 And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name given under heaven among men by which it behooveth us to he saved.
