1 While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,
2 greatly disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3 They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.
4 But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.
5 The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,
6 along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.
7 They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!
9 If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,
10 then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
11 This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’
12 Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
