8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,
9 if we are being examined this day as to a good work to the ailing man, by what means he has been healed,
10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth—whom you crucified, whom God raised out from the dead—in Him this man stands before you sound.
11 This is ‘the stone having been rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
12 And there is salvation in no other, for there is not another name under heaven having been given among men, by which it behooves us to be saved.”
13 Now seeing the boldness of Peter and of John, and having understood that they are unschooled and ordinary men, they were astonished. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man having been healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict.
15 But having commanded them to go outside the Council, they began to confer with one another,
16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For truly that a noteworthy sign has come to pass through them is evident to all those inhabiting Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it.
17 But that it might not spread further on among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any man in this name.”
18 And having called them, they commanded them not to speak nor to teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answering, said to them, “Whether it is right before God to listen to you, rather than God, you must judge.
20 For we are not able to stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
21 And having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way they might punish them, on account of the people, because all were glorifying God for that having happened.
22 For the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was more than forty years old.
