By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?

Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, if we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man,

by what means he is made whole; be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here

before you whole.

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,

which is become the head of the corner.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

What shall we do to these men?

for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them

is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

It is the order of this council that you do not speak the name of Jesus or teach in the name of Jesus.

Violation of this order will bring punishment upon you,

according to the law.

Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

You have been warned.
