Acts:4:3-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And they laid hands on them ,
and put them in hold unto the next day :
for it was now eventide .
*
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed ;
and the number of the men was about five thousand .
*
And it came to pass on the morrow ,
that their rulers ,
and elders ,
and scribes ,
*
And Annas the high priest ,
and Caiaphas ,
and John ,
and Alexander ,
and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest ,
were gathered together at Jerusalem .
*
And when they had set them in the midst ,
they asked ,
By what power ,
or by what name ,
have ye done this ?
*
Then Peter ,
filled with the Holy Ghost ,
said unto them ,
Ye rulers of the people ,
and elders of Israel ,
*
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man ,
by what means he is made whole ;
*
Be it known unto you all ,
and to all the people of Israel ,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth ,
whom ye crucified ,
whom God raised from the dead ,
even by him doth this man stand here before you whole .
*
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders ,
which is become the head of the corner .
*
Neither is there salvation in any other :
for there is none other name under heaven given among men ,
whereby we must be saved .
*
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John ,
and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men ,
they marvelled ;
and they took knowledge of them ,
that they had been with Jesus .
*
And beholding the man which was healed standing with them ,
they could say nothing against it .
*
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council ,
they conferred among themselves ,
*
Saying ,
What shall we do to these men ?
for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem ;
and we cannot deny it .
*
But that it spread no further among the people ,
let us straitly threaten them ,
that they speak henceforth to no man in this name .
*
And they called them ,
and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus .
