Acts 4:10-17

10You and all the people of Israel must understand that this man stands in your presence with a healthy body because of the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth. You crucified Jesus Christ, but God has brought him back to life.

11He is the stone that the builders rejected, the stone that has become the cornerstone.

12No one else can save us. Indeed, we can be saved only by the power of the one named Jesus and not by any other person.”

13After they found out that Peter and John had no education or special training, they were surprised to see how boldly they spoke. They realized that these men had been with Jesus.

14When they saw the man who was healed standing with Peter and John, they couldn’t say anything against the two apostles.

15So they ordered Peter and John to leave the council room and began to discuss the matter among themselves.

16They said, “What should we do to these men? Clearly, they’ve performed a miracle that everyone in Jerusalem knows about. We can’t deny that.

17So let’s threaten them. Let’s tell them that they must never speak to anyone about the one named Jesus. Then the news about the miracle that they have performed will not spread any further among the people.”
