4:1 The priests and the captain of the temple guard along with the Sadduceescame up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. 2 Theywere greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people andproclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. 3 They seized Peter andJohn, and because it was evening, they put them in jail. 4 But many who heardthe message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.5 The next day the rulers, elders and teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexanderand the other men of the high priest’s family. 7 They had Peter and Johnbrought before them and began to question them saying,:C: “By what power or what name did you do this?”L: 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of thepeople! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shownto a cripple and are asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and allthe people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom youcrucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before youhealed.C: 11 Jesus is ‘‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become thecapstone.’L: 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heavengiven to men by which we must be saved…”18 The leaders commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name ofJesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is rightin God’s sight to obey you rather than God. 20 For we cannot help speakingabout what we have seen and heard.”
