Acts 4:8-21

⁸Then Peter ful of the holy Ghost, said vnto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel,

⁹For as much as we this day are examined of the good deede done to the impotent man, to wit, by what meanes he is made whole,

¹⁰Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye haue crucified, whome God raised againe from the dead, euen by him doth this man stand here before you, whole.

¹¹This is the stone cast aside of you builders which is become the head of the corner.

¹²Neither is there saluation in any other: for among men there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued.

¹³Now when they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstoode that they were vnlearned men and without knowledge, they marueiled, and knew them, that they had bin with Iesus:

¹⁴And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

¹⁵Then they commanded them to goe aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselues,

¹⁶Saying, What shall we doe to these men? for surely a manifest signe is done by them, and it is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Hierusalem: and we cannot denie it.

¹⁷But that it be noysed no farther among the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hencefoorth to no man in this Name.

¹⁸So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speake or teach in the Name of Iesus.

¹⁹But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, iudge ye.

²⁰For we cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.

²¹So they threatened them, and let them goe, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.
