Peter and John Arrested

4Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests and ^athe captain of the temple guard and ^bthe Sadducees ^ccame up to them, ²being greatly agitated because they were teaching the people and proclaiming ¹^,^ain Jesus the resurrection from the dead. ³And they laid hands on them and ^aput them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening. ⁴But many of those who had heard the ¹message believed, and ^athe number of the men came to be about five thousand.

⁵Now it happened that on the next day, their ^arulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem; ⁶and ^aAnnas the high priest was there, and ^bCaiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent. ⁷And when they had placed them in their midst, they began to inquire, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?” ⁸Then Peter, ¹^,^afilled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “²^,^bRulers and elders of the people, ⁹if we are ¹being examined today for ^aa good deed done to a sick man, ²as to how this man has been ³saved from his sickness, ¹⁰let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that ¹^,^aby the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom ^bGod raised from the dead—²by ³this name this man stands here before you in good health. ¹¹“¹^,^aHe is the ^bstone which was ^crejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. ¹²“And there is salvation in ^ano one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
