1While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

3They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.

4But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

5The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,

7They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!

9If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,

10then 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.

11This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

12Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

13When 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.
14ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲩϣϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ..
14And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.

15So 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.

17But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”

18Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

19But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

21After 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.

23On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

27In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.
