3So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. They had to wait until the next day to question Peter and John, because it was already evening and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night.
4However, many people who had heard the message from Peter believed in Jesus. (OR, But many people had already believed in Jesus, because they had heard the message from Peter.) So the number of men who believed in Jesus increased to about five thousand.
5The next day the supreme priest summoned the other chief priests, the teachers of the Jewish laws, and the other members of the Jewish Council, and they gathered together in one place in Jerusalem.
6Annas, the former supreme priest, Caiaphas who was the new supreme priest, two other former supreme priests whose names were John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest were there.
7They commanded guards to bring Peter and John into the courtroom MTY and have them stand in front of them. Then one of the leaders questioned the two of them, saying, “Who do you two claim gave you the power to heal this man? And who authorized MTY you to do this DOU?”
8So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You fellow Israelites who rule us and all of you other elders, listen!
9Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
10So we(exc) want you and all of our other fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah MTY from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. God considers that it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
11In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: He is like MET the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building that they were building. Jesus is that stone, and you are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one.
12So he alone can save us MTY. God has sent only one person MTY into the world who can save us from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus!”
