1 Now while they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
4 However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Now it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem,
6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high priestly descent.
7 And they brought them forward and began to inquire, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"
8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
9 If we today are being judged for a good work to a weak man, by what means he has been made well,
10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this name this man stands here before you whole.
11 This is the 'stone which was rejected by you, the builders, which became the chief cornerstone.'
12 Nor is there salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven which has been given among men by which we must be saved."
13 Now when they observed the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 But because they saw standing with them the man who had been healed, they had nothing to say against them.
15 And they commanded them to go away outside the council, and began to confer among themselves,
16 saying, "What shall we do to these men? For indeed, that a known sign has come to pass by them is evident to all those who are dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it.
17 But lest it be spread further among the people, let us threaten them with a threat, to speak no longer in this name."
18 And summoning them, they commanded them not to speak at all nor to teach in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered them and said, "Whether it is right before God to hear you rather than God, you judge.
20 For we can do none other but to speak the things which we saw and heard.
21 So having threatened them further, they released them, finding no way of punishing them, on account of the people, because they all were glorifying God over that which had occurred.
