if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;

10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, —by him doth this man stand here before you sound.
