CHAPTER 4
And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees,
came upon them,

resurrection from the dead.

10

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.

the name of Jesus.

But Peter and John answered and said unto them, 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.

So when they had further threatened them, they let them
go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all
men
glorified God
