Acts 4:1-10 ▼

1 And of them speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

2 being distressed because of their teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection out from the dead.

3 And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

4 But many of those having heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.

5 And it came to pass on the next day that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,

6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent.

7 And having placed them in the midst, they began to inquire, “In what power or in what name did you⁺ do this?”

8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,

9 if we are being examined this day as to a good work to the ailing man, how he has been healed,

10 let it be known to all of you⁺, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth—whom you⁺ crucified, whom God raised out from the dead—in Him this man stands before you⁺ sound.
