Acts 4: 5-12

  5The next day the rulers, elders, and teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.

 6Annas the high preast was there, and so were Calaphas, John, Alexander and the other men of the high preiest's family.

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

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

 9"If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed,

 10then know this, you and 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 He is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.

 12Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which you must be saved."
