Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin

The priests and the captain of the temple guard(A) and the Sadducees(B) came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.(C) They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail(D) until the next day. But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew(E) to about five thousand.

The next day the rulers,(F) the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas,(G) John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,(H) said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!(I) If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame(J) and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,(K) whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead,(L) that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is

“‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.’[a](M)

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”(N)

  1. Acts 4:11 Psalm 118:22

彼得约翰被拿

使徒对百姓说话的时候,祭司们和守殿官并撒都该人忽然来了。 因他们教训百姓,本着耶稣传说死人复活,就很烦恼, 于是下手拿住他们。因为天已经晚了,就把他们押到第二天。 但听道之人有许多信的,男丁数目约到五千。

到公会前被审

第二天,官府、长老和文士在耶路撒冷聚会, 又有大祭司亚那该亚法约翰亚历山大,并大祭司的亲族都在那里, 叫使徒站在当中,就问他们说:“你们用什么能力,奉谁的名做这事呢?” 那时彼得被圣灵充满,对他们说: “治民的官府和长老啊,倘若今日因为在残疾人身上所行的善事,查问我们他是怎么得了痊愈, 10 你们众人和以色列百姓都当知道:站在你们面前的这人得痊愈,是因你们所钉十字架、神叫他从死里复活的拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名。

除了耶稣别无拯救

11 “他是‘你们匠人所弃的石头,已成了房角的头块石头’。 12 除他以外,别无拯救,因为在天下人间,没有赐下别的名我们可以靠着得救。”

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

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, 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;

10 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.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

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