Acts 4:3-18

3So they grabbed them and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening.

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

5On the next day, the rulers and elders and Torah scholars were gathered together in Jerusalem.

6Annas the kohen gadol was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all those who were of high-priestly descent.

7When they had placed Peter and John in their midst, they began to inquire, “By what power or in what name did you do this?”

8Then Peter, filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!

9If we are on trial today for a mitzvah done for a sick man, as to how this fellow was healed,

10let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach ha-Natzrati—whom you had crucified, whom God raised from the dead—this one stands before you whole.

11This Yeshua is ‘the stone—rejected by you, the builders—that has become the chief cornerstone.’

12There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved!”

13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and figured out they were laymen without training, they were amazed. They began to realize that these men had been with Yeshua.

14But seeing the healed man standing with them, they had nothing to say in response.

15When they had ordered Peter and John to go out of the council chamber, they began to confer with one another,

16saying, “What shall we do with these men? For indeed, it’s obvious to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has happened through them, and we cannot deny it.

17But so it won’t spread any further among the people, let’s warn them not to speak anymore to anyone in this name.”

18So they called them in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Yeshua.
