Acts 4:1-12 ▼

1 While they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadduces came upon them,

2 being displeas'd that they taught the people, and maintain'd the resurrection from the dead in the person of Jesus.

3 and they laid hands on them, and put them in prison, till the next day: for it was now evening.

4 however, many who heard Peter's discourse, believed, to the number of about five thousand people.

5 On the morrow, the rulers, senators, and doctors of the law, then at Jerusalem, assembled,

6 with Annas the high priest, Caiphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the pontifical family.

7 and having caused Peter and John to appear, they asked, by what influence, or by what authority have you done this?

8 then Peter filled with the holy spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and senators of Israel,

9 since we are this day to be examined about the cure of a cripple, and by what means he was recovered; be it known to you all,

10 and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you entirely recover'd.

11 this is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but is become the chief of the angle.

12 salvation is not to be had by any other: for there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we can be saved.
