10. let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead-by this name this man stands here before you in good health.
11. He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone.

17. But so that it will not spread any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any man in this name."
