Acts 4:11-21

Lamsa(i) 11 This is the stone which you builders have rejected, which is become the head of the corner. 12 There is no salvation by any other man; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 13 Now when they had heard the speech of Simon Peter and John, which they had spoken boldly, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they recognized them that they had been with Jesus. 14 And because they saw the lame man who was healed standing with them they could say nothing against them. 15 But when they had commanded them to be taken aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for behold a miracle has openly been performed by them and it is known to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 17 But, so that this news should not spread further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Simon Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it be right before God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot stop speaking about the things which we have seen and heard. 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go; for they found no cause to punish them because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.
