8 Then Peter full of the holy goost sayde vnto them ye rulars of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 yf we this daye be examined of the good dede that we haue done to the sycke man by what meanes he is made whoale:
10 be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, whom ye crucyfyed, whom God raysed agayne from deeth: euen by him doth this man stande here present before you whoale.
11 This is the stone which was cast asyde of you buylders, which is become the chefe of the corner.
12 Nether is there saluacyon in eny other. For amonge men vnder heauen there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued.
13 When they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstode that they were vnlerned and laye men, they marueyled, and they knewe them, that they had bene with Iesu:
14 and beholdynge also the man (which was healed) standynge with them, they coulde not saye agaynst it:
15 but commaunded them to go asyde out of the counsell, and counceled amonge them selues,
16 sayinge: what shall we do to these men? For a manifest sygne is done by them, and is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Ierusalem, and we cannot denye it.
17 But that it be noysed no farther amonge the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hence forth to no man in thys name.
18 And they called them, and commaunded them, that in no wyse they shulde speake ner teach in the name of Iesu.
19 But Peter & Iohn answered and sayde vnto them: whether it be ryght in the sight of God, to herken vnto you more then to God, iudge ye.
20 For we cannot but speake, that which we haue sene & heard.
21 So threatened they them, and let them go, and founde nothynge howe to punysshe them, because of the people. For all men praysed God because of that which was done:
22 for the man was aboue fourty yeare olde, on whom thys myracle of healynge was shewed.
