9. are you questioning us about a good thing that was done to a crippled man? Are you asking us who made him well?
10. We want all of you and all the Jewish people to know that this man was made well by the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth! You nailed him to a cross, but God raised him from death. This man was crippled, but he is now well and able to stand here before you because of the power of Jesus!
11. Jesus is‘the stone that you builders did not want.It has become the cornerstone.’ Psalm 118:22
12. Jesus is the only One who can save people. No one else in the world is able to save us.”
13. The Jewish leaders saw that Peter and John were not afraid to speak. They understood that these men had no special training or education. So they were amazed. Then they realized that Peter and John had been with Jesus.
14. They saw the crippled man standing there beside the two apostles. They saw that the man was healed. So they could say nothing against them.
15. The Jewish leaders told them to leave the meeting. Then the leaders talked to each other about what they should do.
16. They said, “What shall we do with these men? Everyone in Jerusalem knows that they have done a great miracle! We cannot say it is not true.
17. But we must warn them not to talk to people anymore using that name. Then this thing will not spread among the people.”
18. So they called Peter and John in again. They told them not to speak or to teach at all in the name of Jesus.
