Acts 4:3-12

³They arrested the apostles and, as it was already evening, had them placed in custody until the next day.

⁴Many, however, of those who had heard the apostles' message became believers in Christ, the number of the men alone amounting to about five thousand.

⁵The next day, a meeting of the leaders of the people, the elders, and the teachers of the Law was held in Jerusalem.

⁶There were present Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of High-Priestly rank.

⁷They had Peter and John brought before them, and questioned them. “By what power,” they asked, “Or in whose name have men like you done this thing?”

⁸Then, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, “Leaders of the people and elders,

⁹since we are on our trial today for a kind act done to a helpless man, and are asked in what way the man here before you has been cured,

¹⁰let me tell you all and all the people of Israel, that it is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead — it is, I say, by his name that this man stands here before you lame no longer.

¹¹Jesus is ‘the stone which, scorned by you the builders, has yet become the corner stone.’

¹²And salvation is in him alone; for there is no other name in the whole world, given to people, to which we must look for our salvation.”
