Acts
4:1-12
(1) And as they were speaking to
the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came
upon them,
(2) greatly
annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the
resurrection from the dead.
(3) And they arrested them and put
them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
(4) But many of those who had
heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.
(5) On the next day their rulers
and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
(6) with
Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of
the high-priestly family.
(7) And when they had set them in the
midst, they inquired, "By what power or by what name did you do
this?"
(8) Then Peter, filled with the
Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,
(9) if we
are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what
means this man has been healed,
(10) let it be known to all of you
and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by him this man is standing
before you well.
(11) This Jesus is the stone that
was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
(12)
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is
no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
