Acts 4:8–13
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, / 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.
Acts 5:23–29
“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” / When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening. / Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
