While Peter and John were still speaking to the people, the chief priest, with the officer in charge at the Temple and the Sadducees, came up to them,

They arrested the apostles and, as it was already evening, had them placed in custody until the next day.

Many, however, of those who had heard the apostles’ message became believers in Christ, the number of the men alone amounting to about five thousand.
The next day, a meeting of the leaders of the people, the elders, and the teachers of the Law was held in Jerusalem.

There were present Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of High-Priestly rank.

They had Peter and John brought before them, and questioned them. ‘By what power,’ they asked, ‘Or in whose name have men like you done this thing?’
Then, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, ‘Leaders of the people and elders,

let me tell you all and all the people of Israel, that it is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead – it is, I say, by his name that this man stands here before you lame no longer.
Jesus is “the stone which, scorned by you the builders, has yet become the corner stone.”

When the Council saw how boldly Peter and John spoke, and found that they were uneducated men of humble station, they were surprised, and realised that they had been companions of Jesus.

But, when they looked at the man who had been healed, standing there with them, they had nothing to say.
So they ordered them out of court, and then began consulting together.

‘What are we to do to these men?’ they asked one another. ‘That a remarkable sign has been given through them is obvious to everyone living in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

So they called the apostles in, and ordered them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.

However, after further warnings, the Council set them at liberty, not seeing any safe way of punishing them, because of the people, for they were all praising God for what had occurred;
for the man who was the subject of this miraculous cure was more than forty years old.
