4:3 They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.

4:4 But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

4:5 The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,

4:6 along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.

4:7 They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!

4:9 If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,

4:10 then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

4:11 This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

4:12 Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

4:13 When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus.

4:14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.

4:15 So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.

4:16 “What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.

4:17 But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”

4:18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

4:19 But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

4:20 For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

4:21 After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.

4:22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
