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 of Israel!
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 given to men by which we must be saved.”
13 When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus.
14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.
15 So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.
16 “What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.
17 But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must strictly warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”
18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.
20 For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
21 After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
