1
While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came to them,
2
much annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming that in Jesus there is the resurrection of the dead.
3
So they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
4
But many of those who heard the word believed; and they numbered about five thousand.
5
The next day their rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,
6
with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family.
7
When they had made the prisoners stand in their midst, they inquired, "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 questioned today because of a good deed done to someone who was sick and are asked how this man has been healed,
10
let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead.
11
This Jesus is "the stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone.'
