Acts 4:6-22

Worrell(i) 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; 10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, in Him does this man stand here before you well! 11 This is the Stone That was set at naught by you, the builders, Which was made into a head of a corner. 12 And in no one else is there salvation; for neither is there any other name under Heaven, that has been given among men, in Which we must be saved." 13 Now, beholding the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and ignorant men, they were wondering; they also were recognizing them, that they had been with Jesus; 14 and, seeing the man who had been healed, standing with them, they had nothing to say against it. 15 But, having ordered them to go aside out of the Sanhedrin, they were conferring one with another, 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." 21 And they, when they had further threatened them, released them, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for what had taken place; 22 for the man, on whom this sign of healing had been done, was more than forty years old.
