Acts 4
1 While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

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

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

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

10 then 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.

13 When 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.

14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.

15 So 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.

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

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

21 After 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.

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

24 When 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.
