Acts 4:1-13

Peter and John Arrested

Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests and ^athe captain of the temple guard and ^bthe Sadducees ^ccame up to them, 2 being greatly agitated because they were teaching the people and proclaiming ¹^ain Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them and ^aput them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 But many of those who had heard the ¹message believed, and ^athe number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Now it happened that on the next day, their ^arulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem; 6 and ^aAnnas the high priest was there, and ^bCaiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent. 7 And when they had placed them in their midst, they began to inquire, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?” 8 Then Peter, ¹^afilled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “²^bRulers and elders of the people, 9 if we are ¹being examined today for ^aa good deed done to a sick man, ²as to how this man has been ³saved from his sickness, 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that ¹^aby the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom ^bGod raised from the dead—¹by ²this name this man stands here before you in good health. 11 ¹^aHe is the ^bstone which was ^crejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. 12 And there is salvation in ^ano one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Peter and John Threatened and Released

13 Now as they observed the ^aconfidence of ^bPeter and John and comprehended that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were marveling, and ^cbegan to recognize them ¹as having been with Jesus.
