1. And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
2. being distressed on account of their teaching the people and preaching by Jesus the resurrection from among the dead;
3. and they laid hands on them, and put them in ward till the morrow; for it was already evening.
4. But many of those who had heard the word believed; and the number of the men had become about five thousand.
5. And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem,
6. and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family;
7. and having placed them in the midst they inquired, In what power or in what name have ye done this?
8. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9. if we this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed done to the infirm man, how he has been healed,
10. be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom ye have crucified, whom God has raised from among the dead, by him this man stands here before you sound in body.
11. He is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone.
12. And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.
13. But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.
