Atos 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:9

If we this day be examined of the good deed

7 E, pondo-os no meio deles, perguntaram: Com que poder ou em nome de quem fizestes v贸s isto?
8 Ent茫o Pedro, cheio do Esp铆rito Santo, lhes disse: Autoridades do povo e v贸s, anci茫os,
9 se n贸s hoje somos inquiridos acerca do benef铆cio feito a um enfermo, e do modo como foi curado,
10 seja conhecido de v贸s todos, e de todo o povo de Israel, que em nome de Jesus Cristo, o nazareno, aquele a quem v贸s crucificastes e a quem Deus ressuscitou dentre os mortos, nesse nome est谩 este aqui, s茫o diante de v贸s.
11 Ele 茅 a pedra que foi rejeitada por v贸s, os edificadores, a qual foi posta como pedra angular.
