1 But, as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 being greatly troubled because of their teaching the people, and declaring in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody till the next day; for it was now evening.
4 And many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.
5 And it came to pass, the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,
6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
7 And, having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, "In what power or in what name, did ye do this?"
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,
9 if we are this day examined in regard to a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this person has been made whole;

16 saying, "What shall we do to these men? for, indeed, that a notable sign has been done through them is manifest to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it;
17 but, that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak no more to any man in This Name."
18 And, having called them they charged 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 cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard."
