Acts 4:1-10

Peter and John Arrested

1 And [while] they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees approached them,
2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them and put [them] in custody until the next day, because it was already evening.
4 But many of those who listened to the message believed, and the number of the men was approximately five thousand.

Peter and John on Trial Before the Sanhedrin

5 And it happened that on the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes came together in Jerusalem,
6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all those who were from the high priest's family.
7 And they made them stand in [their] midst [and] began to ask, "By what power or by what name did you do this?"
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,
9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed [done to] a sick man--by what [means] this man was healed--
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 him this man stands before you healthy!
