Acts 4:5-22

ABU(i) 5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together unto Jerusalem. 7 And having set them in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name, did ye do this? 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel; 9 if we are this day examined in respect to a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this person has been made whole; 10 be it known to you all, 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, by him does this man stand here before you whole. 11 He is the stone that was set at naught by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 And there is salvation in no other; for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be saved. 13 And seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlearned and obscure men, they wondered; and they recognized them, that they were with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it. 15 But having commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying: What shall we do to these men? For that a notorious miracle has been done by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it. 17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 18 And having called them, they commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answering said to them: Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye. 20 For we can not but speak the things which we saw and heard. 21 And they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for that which was done; 22 for the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.
