7 They had Peter and John brought before them and asked, "By what power or in what name did you do this?"
8 Then Peter, inspired by the Holy Spirit, answered, "Leaders of the people and elders,
9 are we being examined today because something good was done for a sick person, a good deed that healed him?
10 If so, then you and all the people of Israel need to know that this man stands healthy before you because of the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead.
11 This Jesus is the stone you builders rejected; he has become the cornerstone!
12 Salvation can be found in no one else. Throughout the whole world, no other name has been given among humans through which we must be saved."
13 The council was caught by surprise by the confidence with which Peter and John spoke. After all, they understood that these apostles were uneducated and inexperienced. They also recognized that they had been followers of Jesus.
