Acts 4:9

Sickness and healing

7 They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!

If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,

10 then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

11 This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’
