9. if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;
10. be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11. He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.
12. And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.
13. Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14. And seeing the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15. But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16. saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17. But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18. And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:
20. for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
